Properties of PP plastic

As already mentioned, PP plastic differs from e.g. A-PET and PS plastic. Every type of plastic has its own characteristics. The characteristics of PP plastic are presented below:

• PP plastic is a softer type of plastic than A-PET and PS;
• PP plastic is easy to seal;
• PP is available in every possible colour, in both translucent and opaque versions;
• PP has good barrier properties.

The only disadvantage of PP is that it is less easy to form than A-PET and PS. In practice, however, this never causes any real problems.

Nedupack working method

When we develop packaging, this involves customisation in almost every case. Precisely how do we address this? During an initial intake meeting, we discuss your needs and requirements. Our designers translate these needs and requirements in a 3D drawing. In this way, you already gain a realistic idea of the packaging. We then create a mould in our own mould production facility. In the first instance, this is a model, followed by a production mould. We then progress to the actual production. With the aid of our extensive and modern machinery, we ensure that production runs flexibly and efficiently. Finally, we carefully pack your packaging ready for shipment. You remain closely involved throughout this process, so that we can make timely adjustments if necessary.
