What We Offer
-
Stretch Banding Film – A versatile and highly efficient packaging solution designed for secure bundling while reducing material usage. Ideal for stabilising multipacks, protecting irregular-shaped items, and keeping products tightly grouped during transport and storage. Commonly used across food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, printing and publishing, retail distribution, and wider logistics operations — offering excellent load retention and cost-effective performance.
-
Polythene & Polyolefin Films – Clear, durable, and safe films suitable for everything from retail display packaging to high-performance shrink-wrapping systems. Available in a wide range of strengths, widths and finishes to ensure the right balance of clarity, stiffness, and barrier protection. Our films support manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated machines — delivering consistent quality for food production, manufacturing, e-commerce, and retail environments.
-
Recycled & Compostable Options – Packaging with sustainability in mind. Choose from post-consumer recycled (PCR) content films — up to 50% recycled material — or certified compostable and biodegradable alternatives that reduce environmental impact. Designed to support circular economy goals without compromising strength, product protection, or branding requirements. A smart choice for businesses committed to greener packaging solutions.
-
Lay Flat Tubing (LFT) – A flexible and adaptable packaging option used to create custom-sized bags and sleeves for products of any length or shape. Made from high-quality polythene, it offers reliable protection against dust, dirt, and moisture during storage, handling, and shipping. Ideal for manufacturing, warehousing, e-commerce fulfilment, and export packaging, lay flat tubing is simple to cut and heat-seal for a secure, made-to-measure solution. Available in a wide selection of widths, thicknesses - including recycled content options — to support both performance and sustainability requirements.
