What We Do

We employ full time graphics designers to help you along with your packaging project. If you have artwork ready or work with an existing marketing agency we simply need your files in .AI or .EPS format.

Please ensure that your fonts are outlined and your Pantone colours have been selected. Once your design is ready we supply a digital or hard copy proof to you for approval. The final artwork is converted to a production ready file used to make plates from DuPont Higher Performance polymer film. A set of plates for each colour in your design is required to transfer ink to the film.

At Friesen Plastics Inc. all of our film is blown in house on one of our three extruders. We extrude Biodegradable films, Heat shrink films, and PE in many colours with a variety of options such as anti-static and no slip. We manufacture films from premium food-grade resins into master rolls. These master rolls will be sent to press or to our converting equipment if printing is not required.

After your film has been extruded into rolls, your project is entered into our printing queue. The plates we had produced with your design will be placed onto printing sleeves using a camera mounted system.

We have multiple printing presses available to print your custom bags and packaging. We can produce 8 colour, full process, photo quality printing.

Once rolls are printed they are then sent to one of our bagging machines for processing. Friesen Plastics’ Lethbridge facility houses an arsenal of bagging equipment including wicketers, zipper machines, side and bottom seal, and PTO equipment.

We can customize gussets, bag type, vent hole sizes and placement and much more. Curious if we can manufacture your style of plastic bags? Get in touch.

With 3 shipping bays connected to three warehousing areas we are well suited to produce and stock additional large volume orders. When producing custom orders we normally ship as soon as the product is produced. However, for our clients that require consistent high volume orders, we will optionally produce and hold to enable our clients to draw down from stock. This ensures that you never run out of packaging for items you need the most.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

We consistently invest in equipment and process improvement; spending significant funds annually to adopt new technologies and stay competitive.

WE MAKE IT

We don't just supply packaging. We manufacture it. Our 45,000 sq ft facility houses the equipment to produce great looking product from raw resin to retail shelf.
