Engineering at the Forefront of Film Technology

Our advanced manufacturing capabilities enable us to engineer plastic films with properties that standard commodity films cannot achieve.

Flagship Capability

9-Layer Air Blown Co-Extrusion

Our state-of-the-art 9-layer air blown co-extrusion lines represent the pinnacle of plastic film engineering. By combining up to nine distinct polymer layers in a single production pass, we engineer films with precisely tuned barrier properties, mechanical strength, optical characteristics, and sealability — impossible to replicate with fewer layers.

Each layer is independently controlled for thickness and resin composition, enabling extraordinary customisation for barrier performance, adhesion, sealing, and structural integrity.

9
Co-Extrusion
Layers

Multi-Layer Co-Extrusion

Our blown film lines process up to 9 polymer layers simultaneously. Independent extruder control enables precise layer ratios and material combinations for tailored film architecture.

Flexographic Printing

Up to 8-colour flexographic printing integrated inline with film production. Consistent registration, fast changeover, and brand-accurate colour reproduction across all substrates.

Adhesive & Extrusion Lamination

Solventless adhesive and extrusion lamination lines bond dissimilar substrates — film-to-film, film-to-foil, and film-to-paper — delivering composite structures with enhanced barrier and performance.

Precision Slitting & Quality Control

Automated slitting to precise widths with inline gauge measurement, defect detection, and roll tracking. Every roll is measured, inspected, and certified before despatch.

Quality & Certifications

ISO 9001:2015

Quality management systems certified to international standard, ensuring consistent product quality and continual improvement across all operations.

Food Contact Compliance

All food-contact films comply with EU Regulation 10/2011 and UK retained law on plastic materials in contact with food.

Recyclable & Sustainable Films

Our mono-material and recyclable film ranges are designed for compliance with UK Plastics Packaging Tax regulations and circular economy targets.

Why Britannia Plastics

Not all film suppliers are equal. Here is why leading manufacturers, food processors, and agricultural businesses choose Britannia Plastics as their long-term packaging partner.

02

UK-Based, Responsive Service

Our London headquarters provides a single point of contact for UK and European customers. No language barriers, same time zone, and a team that understands local regulatory requirements, lead times, and logistics.

03

Custom Specifications, No Minimum Run Compromise

We work with customers to develop bespoke film specifications — custom widths, thicknesses, resin blends, colours, and printing — without pushing you toward a commodity product that nearly fits your application.

04

Long-Term Partnership Approach

We invest time understanding your production processes, packaging equipment, and performance requirements. Our technical team provides ongoing support, film trials, and development of next-generation solutions as your business evolves.
