Packaging Technology & Production

Extrusion

With a large array of the latest packaging technology blown film extrusion lines, we can extrude tubular film up to 16 metres in diameter.

Our films

All our films are produced internally to guarantee both the quality and complete control over the production process. Co-extrusion from three layers up to seven layers is available, enabling us to provide films with excellent barrier properties. Film construction utilising EVOH / OPA / PP is used in many applications in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and construction industries where barrier properties are an essential requirement.

Printing And Laminating

We offer both Flexographic and Rotogravure printing and can print up to 1.45 metres wide and a repeat length of 1150mm in up to 10 colours process. Digital control of our printing presses ensures consistent colour management. We can print utilising high definition Flexographic plates incorporating flat top dot technology which greatly increases visual impact. Our Rotogravure presses are capable of printing up to 10 colours, 1200mm wide and up to 900mm repeat length which enables reproduction of the most complex designs. Solvent-free and water-based lamination are available, up to a four layer structure (Quadraplex) in the following structures: PET / Metallised PET / BOPP / Metallised BOPP / CPP / OPA / PE / EVOH / ALU Foil.

Flexographic

High quality process Flexographic printing, utilising the latest design of gearless presses in up to 10 colours, is available. We can also print using the latest technology High Definition Flexographic plates. This new development elevates the quality of our Flexographic printing closer to the standards achievable with Rotogravure. Please go to the ‘Design’ section for more information about High-Definition Printing.

A range of our dual layer laminate film are suitable for recycling, these are PET/PE, PET/MetPE, PA/PE, PP/PE, PP/PP and PE/PE. The recyclate, whether it is post-consumer or factory scrap can be recycled into Heavy duty industrial films or damp proof membrane films Certification of the suitability of these laminates for recycling can be obtained on request.

Rotogravure

Rotogravure printing in up to 10 colours gives superlative results. Modern computer-controlled laser engraving has resulted in origination costs that are much closer to those of digital Flexographic. Various inline options are available such as printing on both sides of the film or cold seal application.

Conversion

Production of bags, sacks and pouches are made on modern conversion machinery, and we can offer finished products in a wide range of formats.

Quality Control

Our products are made in accordance with BPF voluntary standards and our procedures are in accordance with ISO 9001 practices. At our manufacturing sites and our distribution warehouse, products are tested, and procedures followed in accordance with both ISO and BRC standards. Physical properties of tensile strength, co-efficient of friction, impact resistance, colour standards of the substrates and printing and packaging requirements, where these are critical, are examined. We hold the BRCGS, ISO 9001 Quality Standard and the ISO 14000 Environmental Standard. Quality Control and Quality Assurance procedures enable us to deliver consistent product quality to our customers, irrespective of the number and size of individual orders.
