FILM EXTRUSION

We manufacture mono-layer and 3-layer co-extruded polyethylene blown film from prime, FDA Resins.

Computer controlled equipment assures you of repeatable quality every order. Whether you are looking for shrink film, form-fill-and-seal sheeting, tubing or center-fold or bundling film, Manchester Packaging Company makes it. We also make colored films in varying tints to opaque.

If you need liner, clarity, fractional melt, tough linear low density blends, or metallocene; call us with your specifications. Our resin blends can offer you significant savings through down-gauging without loss of physical properties. For environmental source reduction that increases your profit without sacrificing performance, contact us.

Film Sizes and Constructions

Our equipment allows us to create custom size film and constructions to fit your needs. The following table is an example of the different constructions and sizes we are able to produce.

Film Type Minimum Size Maximum Size
Layflat Tube 4 inches 60 inches
Gusset Tube 4 inches x 2 inches 48 inches x 30 inches
Center-Fold 4 inches 60 inches
J-Fold 4 inches 60 inches
J-Fold Lip Sizes 1/4 inches 8 inches
Single Wound Sheet 4 inches 60 inches
All film is wound on 3 inch cores under careful tension control to assure quality roll conformity. 6 inch cores can be accommodated

Lower minimum orders than many film producers. Order as little as 150 pounds of narrow tubing 4 inches to 14 inches or 500 pounds in the 15 inch to 48 inch range. Larger sizes may require 1000 pounds minimum depending upon construction.

Film may be corona treated for printing or adhesive applications.

Film may be printed in-line and/or on our high speed stack and CI Flexo presses capable of printing 4 color line work or up to 8 color process designs.
