Sustainable Polyethylene Packaging Solutions
Established in 1979, the SIVA Group has been at the forefront of polyethylene film manufacturing for over four decades. Our expertise in advanced polymer technology has enabled us to deliver technically superior packaging solutions to global markets across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. We combine continuous investment in cutting-edge production facilities with a commitment to sustainability, pioneering the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials in our 5-layer POD technology. Our Southampton-based operations house state-of-the-art blown film extrusion, flexographic printing, and lamination capabilities, ensuring consistent performance for demanding applications. With a vertically integrated supply chain and ISO-certified quality control, we provide converters and manufacturers with customised films for food packaging, e-commerce mailers, and industrial applications.Our family-owned structure fosters a culture of innovation and environmental responsibility, reflected in our zero-landfill production processes and recyclable product formulations. As both manufacturers and printers, we uniquely address both functional and branding requirements in packaging design. Our technical team collaborates with clients to optimise packaging performance for high-speed automated lines, reducing total cost of ownership. This combination of technical excellence and sustainable practices has earned us the trust of 50% of our output being exported to blue-chip clients worldwide.

Services
Blown Film Extrusion
Our state-of-the-art blown film extrusion facilities produce high-performance polyethylene films with precise thickness control. Using proprietary 5-layer POD technology, we create films with up to 60% post-consumer recycled content while maintaining mechanical integrity. This advanced process ensures consistent quality for demanding packaging applications across food, e-commerce, and industrial sectors.
Flexographic Printing
We offer high-fidelity flexographic printing services with up to 10-colour capability. Our printing technology ensures brand consistency on retail shelves through precise colour matching and registration. Films are engineered to perform optimally on high-speed packaging lines while maintaining visual appeal for consumer products.
Lamination Conversion
Our lamination services create robust multi-layer films without chemical adhesives. Thermal lamination techniques produce fully recyclable barrier films for food safety applications. Pre-lamination capabilities support custom substrate combinations, enhancing product protection while maintaining environmental credentials.
Sustainable Film Development
We develop circular economy packaging solutions through innovative use of post-consumer recycled materials. Our PCR integration technology maintains film performance characteristics while reducing virgin polymer consumption. This approach addresses both plastic waste reduction and carbon footprint minimisation for global clients.
Bag Production
Our bag manufacturing capabilities include heavy-duty sacks, stand-up pouches, and e-commerce mailers. Custom features like easy-tear seals, perforations, and adhesive strips enhance functionality. Automated production ensures consistent quality for high-volume applications across multiple industries.
