Over the past year Mc Shane Packaging have invested in a Sheet Line Extruder with the objective of having total control over the quality of the sheet manufactured and total control over the end product.

Sheet Extrusion is a technique for making flat plastic sheets from a variety of resins. Polystyrene continues to be the most common polymer for use in sheet extrusion. It is the dominant material for thermoformed packaging and competes with ABS and PP in technical markets.

Thermoplastic sheet production is a significant sector of plastics processing and end use applications include fruit and vegetable packaging and tubs and pots for yoghurt, margarine and desserts.
