The Range of Plastic Packaging Technologies at Greiner Packaging

At Greiner Packaging, we provide flexible, tailored services for our business partners. Due to our broad range of plastic packaging technologies, we can adjust our approach to meet a variety of packaging requirements across different sectors – from rigid and flexible formats to large-scale and specialty applications. Our core methods of production include at our US Pittston facility are thermoforming and injection molding.

Thermoforming

As a highly economical and efficient method, thermoforming produces millions of plastic parts. An affordable alternative to injection molding, thermoforming is particularly suited for companies trying to make a fast market entry and showing consistent quality in their packaging.

Economical technology for large series:

During thermoforming, extruded sheets are fed into a thermoforming machine, where they are heated. The thermoelastic sheet is then stretched forwards in the tool and molded by compressed air, cooled down and punched into its desired shape. As one of our advanced plastic packaging technologies, this sheet extrusion process offers companies significant advantages:

Fast production for large series
Lower tooling costs compared to injection molding
Suited for lightweight, rigid, and semi-rigid packaging
Seamless integration of recycled content through inline processes

Materials used: thermoelastic sheets made of PS, PP, r-PP, PET, r-PET
Products: yogurt cups, butter tubs, lids for containers, trays, and much more.

Injection molding

Injection molding is a trusted and versatile plastic packaging technology used to produce highly detailed, durable plastic packaging with complex shapes and surface textures. It is particularly suited for small and medium production runs.

Proven production method for molded parts of any type

In injection molding, plastic granulate is melted, injected into the desired shape under pressure, cooled, and automatically extracted or ejected. In addition to high structural integrity and premium aesthetics, this plastic packaging technology offers further benefits:

intricate geometries, including parts with undercuts
highly repeatable process
consistent product quality
specialty packaging projects possible

Materials used: primarily PP, PS
Products: yogurt cups, butter tubs, lids, and much more.
