Plain polythene, from 17 to 50 micron is typical.
Plain polythene wrap with a white band for inkjet addressing.
Printed polythene, whether it's full colour, special colours, or simply a spot colour.
Biodegradable polywrap.
Recycleable polywrap.
Clear or printed polybags for low run polywrapping / polybagging.

Production planning and account management

We appreciate the need to be as accurate and flexible as possible with production
schedules. Our p
lans are communicated effectively at morning and afternoon cross-functional planning meetings, and schedules are available to be viewed on our intranet and on a 42” plasma screen in the Polywrapping Production Planning department. So when clients contact their Account Executive to find out the status of their job, or to see if we have space to fit in a mailing the information is easily available.

Accurate pricing and scheduling

We are able to accurately predict our Sitma polywrapping machine running speeds
and our costs because we have built a database of past job information over many years,
so we can be confident that our pricing is accurate and sustainable and that s
chedules
are planned accurately so that jobs are completed on time.
