Plastics

Thin is in.

Material cost is reduced with thin wall molding.

 

Why wait for great?

From pioneering the development of living hinges over 40 years ago, J.L. Clark now produces the widest variety of plastic containers for a multitude of applications and markets. With our extensive product development capability, including rapid prototyping, we are able to assist in every stage of the design cycle – and then speed production through our ISO 9001:2000 certified plastic injection molding facility. Post-molding capabilities are available too, including door-closing, labeling and even filling.

But what's really exciting are the products and capabilities now beginning to fill our 'plastics pipeline', including:

  • In-mold labeling: giving customers a consistently high-quality graphic, while reducing the time and expense of post-mold secondary labeling operations.
  • Thin-wall molding: thinner walls can quickly add up to a considerable savings in material cost, particularly when volumes are large.
  • Clarifiers: by using new polypropylene clarifiers, we can create containers that clearly display the contents, adding unique consumer appeal.
  • Biodegradable plastics: biodegradable, corn-based bioplastics are right around the corner, and just in time to help the growing need for containers that are easy and economical to recycle.
