ABOUT US
Abbey Polythene is an established polythene manufacturing company using UK sourced polythene sheeting and tubing.
We have a UK wide customer base as well as several EU based companies, some of which have been regular customers for over 10 years, and range from sole-traders to multi-national companies.
A bespoke service is offered across the range of polythene products, including a print design service on polythene bags, polythene sheeting or tubing. We can produce polythene in a wide range of colours, opaque or tint. Bags, sheets or pallet covers can be produced on a roll, on a core or loose in a box depending on your or your customer's needs.
Specialising in small to medium run quantities we work closely with our customers to ensure every product is tailor made to individual needs. Polythene bags and sheets offer so many advantages for so many different kinds of wrapping, packaging and waste handling requirements.
Specialist polythene products can be produced by the addition of additives, examples being anti-static bags and sheeting suitable for use with printed circuit boards, scented bags, tubing and sheeting in various fragrances, the most common being lemon and vanilla, ideal to mask unwanted smells and odours and fire retardant bags and covers for additional safety.
Biodegradable films and bags are becoming more popular as pressure increases on all of us to look after and protect our environment (see our biodegradable page). In addition our machinery is capable of punching holes or micro perforations for particular applications.
Our polythene products can be produced from either low density or mid density film, which are both easily recyclable into regranulated (regran) film which is a slightly cheaper option to virgin food grade polythene.
All our products are either fully recyclable or biodegradable producing minimal waste, and all scrap is recycled into polythene granules and blown into usable film again.
A comprehensive product range can be viewed on our product page, but if you do not see the specific product you are looking for please contact us.
Orders can usually be processed through the system within 10-14 working days, ready for shipment to you or your customer.
For overnight and small order deliveries we use Initial City Link who offer UK wide coverage. The goods can be tracked through the system ensuring they reach the customer as and when promised.
Standard 2/3 day pallet deliveries are handled by a UK wide pallet distribution network using 7 ½ tonne curtain sided lorries with tail lifts. A timed, next day or Saturday morning delivery can be requested.
Above all service, quality and prompt on time delivery is paramount, and we are happy to provide quotations, samples and advice where and when needed.
