Break-off packaging and foil rolls made of PS

Flexible and easily molded

Easy to thermoform

Few plastics are as easy to mold as PS. Good moldability also allows you to produce complex shapes efficiently.

Clear, high-gloss surface

PS has a natural high-gloss surface and is easy to make fully crystal clear. Ideal for packaging that must display its contents clearly in a clear and appealing way.

Chilled & frozen foods

PS is approved for food contact and is ideal for packaging that must be stored chilled or frozen. The material’s hardness makes it especially suitable for break-off packaging.

Efficient thermoforming

PS is easily thermoformed into both simpler and more advanced shapes where low weight is an advantage. Its properties make PS ideal for disposable items, especially smaller ones.

Recyclable

PS
we re-love you

PS is a thermoplastic from which we have much to gain by recycling. It’s found widely in the market and can be recycled with good results. This means you can virtually always get PS as a recycled grade and still be assured that the material in your packaging can be recycled yet again.

PS

Scanfoil PS is a foil that is easy to work with and lets you achieve good results quickly thanks to the natural properties of polystyrene. The foil is ideally suited for packaging, is approved for food contact and offers good protection against moisture.
 

PS is recyclable and sought after by the market.
