Films, Bags & Pouches
In every part of our daily lives we depend upon plastic films, bags and pouches. Using a variety of polymer types and grades according to the application, our industry converts, manufactures and distributes the widest range of products – all of which are lightweight, strong, durable and fit for purpose.
Plastic Film is used for everything from stretch/cling wrap for food protection and preservation to tough damp proof membrane used in the foundations of all our buildings. Stretch film is also used to safely secure products on pallets; and a variety of specialist films are used to protect crops whilst growing. These include polytunnels for soft fruits and flowers as well as mulch film for vulnerable outdoor crops and silage wrap film to protect animal feed on farms.
Plastic Bags are an essential part of everyday life. From the thin gauge retail produce bag which segregates fish, meat, fruit and vegetables from contamination by other products to the highly specialist blood and plasma bags, refuse and waste sacks for the safe disposal of everything from household waste to clinical waste. which give life-saving products a longer life and protect them from contamination.
Plastic Pouches are a major development which allows significant savings in environmental impacts by packaging food in a lightweight, sealed stand-up pouch which can often also be microwaved. Pouches also preserve products like pet food, rice, pulses and vegetables.
