Plastic packaging production and demand, as well as recycling, have increased in Latin America. As a result, having machinery that produces high-quality and long-lasting finished goods is critical.

For PE bag production, single layer blown film machine has been the most common type of extruder to use. It is probably still the best machine for products such as fruit and vegetable bags (perforated bag-on-roll) that use mainly virgin materials with low film thickness ranging from 6 to 18 microns. Single layer machine is also the favorable choice for biodegradable bag production.

The Vietnamese plastic sector has grown significantly in the past 5 years thanks to many unique advantages that the country has.

“Whenever we are expanding and in need of new machines, POLYSTAR is always the first company that comes to our mind.”

In June, the plastic film producer located in Mashhad, Iran has added the 4th POLYSTAR line for the production of garbage and T-shirt bags.

One of the leading T-shirt bag makers located in Guadalajara, Mexico has invested in 5 more POLYSTAR blown film extrusion lines this month, making it the 13th blown film machine that this producer has purchased from POLYSTAR since November 2014.  The Jalisco-based producer is producing 3,500 tons of plastic bags per month at the moment and aims to expand to 5,000 tons in the next 1.5 year with its plan to install more POLYSTAR machines.

Vietnam has rapidly become perhaps the most important supplier of plastic bags for the Japanese packaging market since 2014.
