Plastic Sheet & Board

Besides the wide range of fabricated Correx® products, you can also source a selection of plastic sheet & board materials. These are available in a wide variety of colours, thicknesses and finishes.

As official Correx® plastic sheet suppliers – and holding a large selection of sheet options in stock – it enables you to fulfil low order volumes on short lead times and at competitive prices.

Please see below for the range of corrugated plastic materials available from GWP Correx®.

If you are a packaging manufacturer or distributor, why not let GWP Correx® supply the packaging, totes or other fabricated plastic products your customers need?

Available as part of a confidential trade service, your business can take advantage of GWPs’ dedicated conversion equipment, design team and material knowledge.

Please see below for an overview of the plastic packaging products you can source from GWP Correx®.

Your business can source a much broader range of materials from the wider GWP Group. This includes coated corrugated cardboard, as well as various foams.

Please see below for these options.

Whilst there is a huge range of plastic material available, GWP Correx® specialise in those that are referred to as “corrugated” or “fluted”.

What this means is that the plastic material is extruded with gaps between the two outer surfaces (the walls). This makes Correx® in particular similar to other materials, and is often referred to as plastic cardboard.

The benefits provided by material of this nature are its increased strength relative to its light weight, low cost, and flexibility in terms of its uses.

Besides standard Correx® sheet, your business can also source Corriplast. This is effectively Correx® material, but impregnated with “carbon black”, which allows for electrical charges to pass along the surface of the material. This can then be used to create a faraday cage effect, protecting static sensitive items.

Finally, there is also the revolutionary Bubbleboard material. Rather than using fluting, this plastic sheet is created with a series of hermetically sealed cells between the outer walls to form its core.

Whilst this provides good bi-directional strength and resistance to twisting, the main benefits of Bubbleboard are the outer laminates that can be applied to it. This includes fabric and foam to prevent scuffing and damage during handling (i.e. if / when used for packaging applications).

So what are plastic sheet materials of this type used for?

Perhaps the most well know use for material of this type is signage and advertising. Correx® for example is widely used for estate agent signs, bollard covers for supermarket promotions and even health and safety notices on construction sites.

Correx® is also widely used on building sites for floor and wall protection, shuttering and so on.

And of course, these materials can be fabricated to create a range of returnable packaging products, such as totes, picking bins, boxes, dividers, inserts and more.

If you are looking to source plastic sheet material to convert into packaging, then please note GWP will also be able to quote for pre-fabricated items, supplied on a confidential trade agreement. Please get in touch if you would be interested in this service.
