All about poly film

Built for the people who keep the country moving.

From contractors to couriers, the public relies on poly film to get the job done every single day. Polyethylene film has a wide variety of uses — as an airtight seal, as a cushioning agent, or as protection for any item that needs to stay self-contained. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer with a variable crystalline structure and an enormous range of applications depending on the grade. The film itself is made by melting plastic pellets and extruding the molten poly. It can be custom-manufactured to any specification — thickness, width, color, and more.

Where it shows up

Five everyday jobs poly film does well.

Some film is converted into bags, while other film is used as packaging or protective material. Here’s a sample of where it lands:

Closing off rooms for remodeling

Waterproofing ponds, lakes, and canals

Coverings for outdoor equipment, wood piles, furniture

Packaging buffers

Securing pallets of products
