Extrusion Blow Moulding
bottle manufacturing processes.
One of the most common resins used in the EBM process is HDPE (high density polyethylene). Although semi-opaque in its natural state, a high gloss feel and appearance can be achieved if required. Similarly, a more squeezable feel can be achieved using MDPE (medium density polyethylene), making it ideal for products such as creams and lotions.
Injection Stretch Blow Moulding
high-quality bottles in PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), which boast a clarity similar to glass. However, the ISB process can also produce less clear materials, such as polypropylene (PP) if required.
Spectra’s state-of-the-art injection stretch blow-moulding machines can produce PET containers in capacity sizes from 50ml up to 500ml. Available in a virtually limitless choice of colours, our PET bottles can
be provided in solid opaque finishes as well as varying stylish translucent shades.
Injection Moulding
Spectra can provide a wide range of off-the-shelf designs or bespoke solutions, tailored to customer needs. Our injection moulded
components are designed to complement our EBM and ISB containers
and offer a total packaging solution.
Decoration
of customers products with a variety of innovative print technologies that include precise four pass silk screen printing as well as timeless sophistication by way of hot foil blocking.
Customers seeking ground-breaking print technologies can also take advantage of our innovative solutions. These include our 360-degree Seamless printing, Chameleon, which changes colour depending on differing lighting conditions and Elevate, our tactile and high build embossed print finish.
Colour Matching
We boast a long heritage in plastic colouring technology and work closely alongside trusted Masterbatch suppliers. It’s this industry expertise that enables us to provide the most appropriate solutions to help give your packaging a real point of difference.
We can provide a range of performance enhancing products from
anti-microbial additives to UV inhibitors, along with an array of stunning colour finishes from frosting and pearlescent to a natural speckled look that emulates card or stone.
Recycled Packaging Solutions
Plastic products that have completed their life cycle as an everyday consumer item and then been recovered from waste are known as post-consumer. The post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics most commonly used for packaging derive from PET & HDPE products such as clear drinks bottles and more opaque milk bottles.
Bioplastic Packaging Solutions
Prevented Ocean Plastic
The programme aligns plastic recycling standards across coastlines at risk from ocean plastic pollution. It offers an ongoing supply of high-quality recycled plastic at industry scale whilst supporting local communities at the forefront of ocean plastic waste in at-risk areas, including Southeast Asia, South America, the Galapagos Islands, the Mediterranean, and Central America & Caribbean.
