Highly versatile material used for many converted product applications. Sheet is ideal for printing, including litho, screen, flexo and digital.

2nd Genesis is extruded polyethylene sheet made from reclaimed milk jugs which can be converted into packaging applications. Same print qualities as regular polyethylene.

A “clear” choice for transparent packaging. These sheets are brilliantly clear and exceptionally glossy allowing the consumer to see the products inside. Sheets print beautifully.

Many of the same characteristics as PE and the sheets are ideal for converted product applications, PP can be made completely transparent.

Bio-Degradable Polyethylene & Polypropylene

The additive in BioPoly causes the plastic to biodegrade through a series of chemical and biological processes when in a land-fill. ASTM D5511 tests that represent biologically active landfills done on representative products have typically shown up to 11.4% biodegradation within 115 days. As all the same print and converting characteristics of regular PE and PP.

This material was developed as a back-lit signage application. This high-temp light box material is an economical alternative from more expensive polycarbonates.

The material is ideal for offset, digital and screening printing. It is very durable and won’t crack, warp or yellow in the sun.

Innovative Product Designs and Creative GraphicsDesign Engineering

We can assist with those innovative prototype developments through our Design Engineers who are responsible for creating custom products to fit your exact needs. Our Product Engineering staff can take your product concepts and develop them into a working design to be completed in our manufacturing facility. With our state-of-the-art CAD software we have the ability to show a design via a PDF or Video of a raw structural design without graphics or with graphics in 3D animation with a 360-degree view. For those unique custom designs, we can provide a computer aided design (CAD) sample that will provide visual inspection of your creative idea.
