Services
Stretch Banding Film
Stretch banding film is a lightweight, high-strength packaging solution for securing multipacks and irregular items. It reduces material usage by up to 70% compared to shrink film while maintaining load stability. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, food production, and logistics, this film eliminates heat tunnels, cuts energy use, and supports closed-loop recyclability with LLDPE materials.
Polythene Films
Polythene films offer durable, moisture-resistant protection for retail, food, and industrial applications. Available in clear, tinted, or opaque variants with thicknesses from 40200m, they suit manual and automated systems. Our food-grade options comply with ISO 9001 and BRC standards, while recycled content variants help reduce Plastic Packaging Tax liabilities for sustainable operations.
Recycled PCR Films
PCR films incorporate up to 50% post-consumer recycled content, reducing virgin plastic use and tax liabilities. These films maintain strength and clarity for food packaging, textiles, and logistics. Certified recyclable and compatible with closed-loop systems, they support circular economy goals without compromising performance or hygiene standards.
Lay Flat Tubing
Lay flat tubing provides custom-length protection for components, electronics, and long items. Made from LDPE with options for recycled content (30%), anti-static additives, or UV resistance, it cuts waste by allowing on-demand bag creation. Suitable for e-commerce, manufacturing, and export, it balances durability with sustainability through recyclability.
Polyolefin Shrink Film
Polyolefin shrink film offers high clarity and puncture resistance for retail, food, and pharmaceutical packaging. BRC-certified for food safety, it shrinks cleanly without harmful solvents and resists degradation in freezing conditions. Available in 35100m thicknesses, it enhances product visibility while reducing corrugate use and packaging costs.
