Materials
Genpak
uses all types of materials to complete the packaging needs for
our customers. We are capable of printing on any type of material
with excellent print graphics and laminating to any other material
type. Materials are adhesive or extrusion laminated to combine the
properties of different substrates to maximize graphic appeal, shelf
life requirements or machine performance needs of the customer.
Genpak
also manufactures mono and co-extruded blown films in both high
and low density polyethylene with properties that can enhance the
strength, colour, clarity and texture of the film. These materials
are treated to support superior flexographic printing and are always
handled with care from extrusion through the converting process.
Our recycled
polyethylene is an alternative option many customers are now choosing
to offset the issues regarding sustainability and current environmental
concerns.
