• 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 6 color process designs.

Starting with quality blown film made with prime FDA resins, we custom manufacture a variety of bags to meet your specifications. all bags manufactured may be printed or unprinted. Types of bags include side seal and bottom seal bags, bags perforated on rolls and separated bags in line. We will make the size and construction to meet almost any package requirement for which monolayer and co-extruded polyethylene can be used, within the limits of our equipment. Clear, colored opaque, or color tints available.

Many bag applications can be satisfied by using inexpensive bags perforated on rolls. These bags are made as the film is being extruded and are wound on cores. We can print one color in-line as well, though limitations apply. Sheets can also be made on a roll, both unprinted and printed (limitations apply). This approach is very economical for applications such as box liners, trash compactor bags, wood chips, mulch or any other material where a simple, low tech bag is adequate.

• Broad range of sizes are available.
• 3 inch and 1 inch cores available.
• Rolls can be wrapped and plugged and/or boxed
• Vents can be made into bags where needed (limitations apply). Reasonable minimums, from 150 pounds to 1,500 pounds depending on size and construction.

Bags may also be made in an individually separated, case packed format. This approach is more expensive than bags on a roll, but still less expensive than bags produced out of line. Similar limitations apply for printing, size, and minimum quantity.

Manchester Packaging Company believes in taking green initiatives. Not only do we recycle and reprocess polyethylene scrap, we also provide our customers with environmentally friendly biopolymer film and bag options.

Our biopolymer film and bags are made of starch-based polymers or polyester/PLA blends. These biopolymers include materials derived from corn starch, potato starch, or bacterially produced polyesters. Several biopolymers are available for flexible packaging film and bags. We offer FKuR Bioflex (polyester/PLA) resins and degradable additives.

Please ask one of our knowledgeable Customer Service Representatives for more information regarding your eco-friendly options.
