VisiPak is a global brand
from Sinclair & Rush that is fast becoming synonymous with commercial
packaging for industrial safe storage and retail point of sale display.
Extrusion moulded plastic
tubes are at the core of the VisiiPak range. Now, we are in the process of
installing our own extrusion moulding line at our Rochester
plant in Kent .
James Gardner has been
over to our factory in China
to inspect the line prior to it being shipped to Kent . Now he and a colleague are
visiting our parent company in America on an intensive ‘all you need to know
about running an extrusion moulding line but were too afraid to ask’ course.
This is a video of the plant inspection in China:
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.
So, from April we’ll be
manufacturing the tube range ourselves, creating even better value for
customers – like you.
Stop Press - but that's not all. Hot off the American press is more news of S&R's continued extension of VisiPak production :
Sinclair & Rush, Inc., through its VisiPak division, has successfully completed the acquisition of the assets of Tulox Plastics Corporation of Marion, Indiana, a manufacturer of clear plastic packaging containers. The move by VisiPak, a leading manufacturer of clear packaging products, expands the current line of plastic tube containers to include additional shapes, sizes and closure styles. Production from the Indiana facility will be relocated to the VisiPak manufacturing locations in St. Louis, MO, and Carlstadt, NJ, to more closely service the needs of customers.
“This acquisition correlates directly with our long-term strategies regarding increased product offerings and market reach,” said Brad Philip, President and COO of Sinclair & Rush, Inc. Mr. Philip continued, “The synergies created allow us to offer the broadest line of packaging products and related services, from concept to completion, of anyone in the industry.”
We offer a comprehensive
line of clear plastic packaging tubes, tubular containers and creased ‘pop-up’
boxes together with probably the largest line of cap & plug options. This
all combines to provide packaging solutions for a diverse range of
applications.
Packaging tubes range
from Permaseal sealed bottom containers to heavy-duty industrial packaging. Our
stock line of clear plastic tubes is unrivalled 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 to hang,
flip, shake and seal - all at unbeatable prices.
Such clear plastic
containers are suitable for packaging toys, cutting tools, posters, welding
rods, cosmetics, bath salts, beads, and virtually anything else you can
imagine.
They are ideal for
keeping items safe in storage or by post and perfect for point of sale (POS)
display.
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 the package and inserts to separate contents inside the box.
Choose from a number of materials and decorating options to meet your specific
needs.
All products use our
proprietary creasing technology to ensure an easy fold and can be made in a
variety of shapes and styles. The boxes are delivered and stored flat and
simply ‘pop-up’ to insert your product.
Full colour printing and
other decorative applications are also available.
One of the primary
benefits of using VisiPak clear boxes is that branding, graphics, contents and
directions can be applied directly to the box, eliminating the need for labels
or header cards. Boxes are typically
printed on the inside to protect graphics during transit and storage.
Don’t risk your products
getting damaged by soggy cardboard packaging, or your brand and instructions
fade to illegibility in sun damaged and scuffed containers. It really is time
to consider an alternative and VisiPak is it. Ask for advice by calling the

The future is clear, the
future is VisiPak.
