Flexible packaging and plastic film play a crucial role in protecting goods ranging from high-value items such as computer parts to low-cost everyday household items.  Flexible plastic film confers the advantages of functionality in shape and design; durability; impact resistance; visibility of the product and protection against tampering and theft.

Whatever the product shape or size there is a solution available in plastic available from the three manufacturers represented exclusively by Friedheim International in the UK and Ireland – Beck Packautomaten and Audion Elektro   Typical applications include packaging for DVDs and CDs, household wares, gardening and DIY goods, crockery and cutlery, drinking utensils, cosmetics and beauty products, cleaning products, stationery and greetings cards, and magazines and newspapers, to name but a few!

Plastic films are the most economic, safe and environmentally friendly method of containing goods on pallets or mixed loads whilst in transit - this brings major advantages in health and safety throughout the supply chain. Whether plain or printed they can allow visibility of the nature and condition of the consignment. Alternatively, coloured or opaque films can be used to prevent identification of high value products, thus reducing the risk of theft or tampering.  Films are available for conventional, shrink or stretch wrapping of products and an almost endless range of plain or printed films can be produced to collation wrap batches of products, either for distribution or for shelf-display as a multi-pack.
