Manufactured ProductsOur Polyflex® oriented polystyrene product line has been outperforming other polystyrene films for nearly two decades. The high degree of clarity exhibited by our products makes them ideal for shrink sleeve labels, tamper evident bands, lamination, packaging and envelope window applications.
In 2004, Plastic Suppliers saw a change occurring in the plastic film industry and we perfected a biopolymer film called EarthFirst®. EarthFirst® brand films are the premier biopolymer films available. Compostable to the ASTM D6400 and DIN EN 13432 specifications and made from annually renewable resources, EarthFirst® films are poised to replace a number of “conventional” films in the marketplace. EarthFirst® films have excellent shrink characteristics and a high natural dyne level. It’s the ideal film for printed shrink sleeve, tamper evident band and flexible packaging applications. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly film, this is it!
