Plastic Film Extrusion

The extrusion production capacity is in excess of 3300 tons p/a. Our machinery consists of 4 Italian Mono extrusion lines, and 1 Euro Co-Extrusion line with film thicknesses that can be run ranging from 20 micron to 200 micron.

Polymer blends consisting of specialty and performance polymers are extruded to meet and exceed their intended use. Typical films extruded are shrink films, form fill and seal sheeting, general packaging films or bags, agriculture film, and films for liquid packaging. All these are available as printed or unprinted.

Printed Plastic Products

The printing process of Flexography (Flexo) is offered at Pac-Rite Plastics. We have 2 OFEM CI presses with printing up to 8 colours- basic line work or full colour process work. Substrates that can be printed include polyethylene films, metallic films, polypropylene films and paper.

In-house ink technicians ensure that colours are matched to the required pantone reference, or colour standard to ensure consistency from batch to batch. Printed products are either converted to bags or slit into sheeting.

Plastic Bag Manufacturing

The bagmaking department comprises of side seal, bottom seal, and spine seal machines.

Products manufactured are general side seal bags, boutique bags, euro slot bags, flexi-handle bags, shirt bags with resealable tape, bottom seal bags, spine seal bags, spine seal bags with handles, 3 seal pouches and stand-up pouches.

Slitting

The slitting department has 3 slitting machines that slits the jumbo reels down to narrower widths as per the customers’ specifications. Sheeting is generally printed as multiplies across to be most cost effective. This is then slit down to smaller reels that can be handled by our packers.

Multilayer Laminated Packaging Films

Pac-Rite now offers Lamination, a process of manufacturing packaging in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance or other properties from the use of the differing materials. PET, BOPP, Nylon and LLDPE films are generally used. The process is solvent-free meaning there is no solvent and no risks of emissions, making it safe for food packaging. Plus, there is no need to use ovens for drying. Benefits also include that it runs at high-speed using less energy, reduced capital investment costs as compared to solvent-based laminators and the footprint is also minor in comparison to a solvent-based laminator.

Pac-Rite's extensive variety of products includes anything from industrial packaging to catering for the retail market. The on-going acquisition of new machinery is indicative of a company committed to constantly improving its efficiency and product offering to keep up with the pace of an ever-changing industry.

The Pac-Rite team prides itself on upholding high standards and values which ensure the production and distribution of quality products to every customer, no matter how big or small the request.
