We thought today we’d take a few moments to
explain the benefits of VisiPak, which is a division of Sinclair & Rush.
The manufacturing of clear plastic tubing,
boxes and clamshells has been taken to an art form by our parent company in the
States who have pushed extrusion moulding to its limits. We will also be adding
this manufacturing method to our existing Dip Moulding and Injection Moulding
operations in Kent
How
does extrusion moulding work? An extruder consists
of a hopper for feeding in the raw materials. It has a heating section where
the materials are melted into the desired consistency and a section for transferring
the melted solution through a die after which it is cooled to create the
finished product. Each section can be manipulated by many variables to create
different thicknesses and finishes of the plastic product.
How
does one process create so many different end products? This is all down to the design of the die. The different dies
create the different sizes, shapes, thicknesses and finishes, tailoring the
materials to the application and spec. One machine can easily be used for
different products by swapping the die.
S&R have an extensive
line of clear plastic packaging tubes and tubular containers together with
probably the largest line of cap & plug options.
Packaging tubes
range from sealed bottom containers (Permaseal - see image below) to hanging tubes to heavy-duty
industrial packages while our stock line of clear plastic mailing tubes is
unrivaled in the industry in terms of quality, price, and selection. Plus, as
the largest manufacturer of vinyl tube caps in the world, VisiPak gives you the
broadest selection of caps at unbeatable prices.
These are suitable for
packaging toys, cutting tools, posters, welding rods, cosmetics, bath salts,
beads, and virtually anything else you can imagine. Ideal for keeping items
safe in storage or by post and perfect for point of sale (POS) display.
A benefit of
thermoformed packaging is being able to shape a package to your product.
Visipak produces clamshells, blisters and trays to protect and display your
products. With extensive design flexibility and our low-cost tooling
thermoformed packages are an ideal fit for many applications.
Production of
transparent boxes is made to order. These clear
folding cartons are available in a variety of shapes and styles including
sleeves to protect a package and inserts to separate contents inside the
box. You'll choose from a number of materials and decorating options to
meet your specific needs.
