Our Process

Design & Pre-Press

We feature full-time graphics designers who are dedicated to helping each client with their packaging project. If you have artwork of your own or previously created work from an existing marketing agency, be sure to send it to us in an .AI or .EPS format.

In addition, please outline your selected fonts and Pantone colours so we’re able to bring your design vision to life. Once your design is complete, we’ll supply you with a digital or hard copy proof for you to approve. Upon receipt of your approval, we’ll convert your final artwork into a production-ready file that we use to create plates with DuPont Higher Performance polymer film. We require a set of plates for each selected colour before transferring ink to film.

Our Process

Film Extrusion

Poly bag extrusion is a manufacturing process we offer. During this process, we melt raw food-grade pellets down before they’re blown into a four-story cylindrical bubble. As the plastic cools, our technicians form it into a master roll of film before transferring it to our printing presses. Then, we extrude Biodegradable films, Heat Shrink films, and PE in many colours complemented by a variety of options, including no slip and static.

Our Process

Printing

Once the film for your project has been extruded into rolls, we can enter it into our printing queue. For this part of the production process, we will place the plates produced from your design onto printing sleeves using a special camera mounting system. We feature multiple printing presses that we use to print your custom packaging and bags. We have the capability to produce eight-colour, full process photo-quality printing.

Our Process

Converting

After printing your rolls, we send them to one of our bagging machines for processing. Depending on your intended use of the bags, offer a wide range of customized options such as biodegradable construction in order to suit your needs and preferences. Once converted, we box the bags and ready them to ship to you.

Friesen Plastics features a facility that houses an arsenal of bagging equipment and design technology that includes wicketers, zipper machines, side and bottom seal, and PTO equipment. Remember, we have the ability to create fully customized packaging materials that can effectively market your business, products, or services. Contact us today to learn more about our offerings.
