Virgin Plastic Packaging Products
Virgin plastic is made from newly synthesized polymer resins, free from recycled content. It offers superior mechanical properties, consistency, and purity, making it the preferred choice for industries requiring high-performance packaging solutions. At Baroda Rapids, we manufacture high-quality virgin plastic bags and films that cater to various industrial, commercial, and retail applications.
Production Process
Raw Material Selection: Virgin plastic resins such as LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, and PP are sourced from reputed petrochemical suppliers.
Additive Mixing: Optional additives like UV stabilizers, anti-static agents, or slip agents are blended for enhanced properties.
Extrusion: The resin is melted and processed through blown film extrusion or cast film extrusion, depending on the application. The extruded plastic film is cooled and processed into rolls.
Printing & Customization: If required, branding, instructions, or design elements are printed using flexographic or rotogravure printing.
Cutting & Sealing: The film is converted into bags, sheets, or liners using heat sealing or cutting techniques.
Quality Inspection & Packaging: Each batch undergoes strict quality checks before being packed and shipped.
