Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we deliver continuous production of high-quality polythene films, bags and covers to guarantee reliable supply and exceptional service

By extruding, printing, converting and recycling entirely on our single 100,000+ sq ft purpose-built production site, we are able to deliver high-quality polythene products to our customers at highly competitive prices across the UK.

Polymer

Elite Plastics sources a wide range of polymers from across the globe to produce our diverse portfolio of polythene blends. As the primary raw material is oil-based polymer, pricing can fluctuate significantly; however, our extensive on-site warehousing and silo capacity allow us to store thousands of tonnes at any one time. This enables us to purchase materials at the most advantageous points in the market, helping us remain one of the most competitive polythene manufacturers in the UK and pass those savings on to our customers.

Extrusion

Our extensive extrusion capability operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, enabling us to offer low lead times and a consistently high level of service. Based across two large, purpose-built extrusion halls designed specifically for polythene production, our setup is one of the most diverse in the UK. From narrow to wide width lines and specialist sack extruders, we have the capability to manufacture the full range of polythene films and high-quality sacks. When it comes to polythene extrusion, Elite Plastics is an industry powerhouse.

Print

Operating both in-line and reel-to-reel printing presses, Elite Plastics offers some of the most advanced polythene printing capabilities in the UK. Every extrusion line is equipped with in-line printers, allowing for cost-effective printing of simple designs such as logos and warning notices. Our purpose-built on-site print facility houses multiple presses capable of producing high-quality designs of up to 6 colours, ideal for branding and product presentation. Our print origination team works closely with customers throughout the entire process, from initial design through to final approval and production, ensuring a high level of service and a consistently excellent finished product.

Conversion

With our extensive range of state-of-the-art conversion lines, Elite Plastics offers a full suite of capabilities. We convert bags and covers either loose or perforated on a roll, producing hundreds of millions each year while maintaining consistently high standards. Our capabilities also include lip and strip applications, punched handle bags, grip seal and mini grip bags, wicketted bags and more, allowing us to meet the vast majority of customer requirements.
