Keeping your packaging efficient, effective and future-ready.
We’ve exported and manufactured PE plastics for over 70 years. Our highly-engineered lamination and film products are designed to perform flawlessly on your packaging lines. Since 2007, we’ve been sustainable frontrunners with a range of recycle-ready films that help brands meet their environmental goals. Whether you’re looking for special capabilities, sustainable materials or custom applications, we’ve got you covered.
Recycle-Ready
Supporting a circular economy, including recycling is a major priority across the US and Canada. Meeting these targets starts with having a recycle-ready package. We'll make sure yours is.
Post-Consumer Resin (PCR)
Governments and major brands are legislating using more PCR in consumer packaging. We’ll help you meet this growing demand while maintaining high-quality graphics and performance.
Post-Industrial Resin (PIR)
Just like PCR, PIR packaging replaces virgin materials but at an even better price point and a higher quality standard.
Conventional
Conventional packing films are proven and cost-effective. They look great, resist punctures, withstand high temperatures, and provide barrier protection when needed.
Bio-Based
Reduce your brand’s environmental impact with bio-based materials. By using renewable sources like potato or rice starch, you can limit the use of fossil-fuels in the manufacturing process.
