In 2025, organisations will continue to seek ways to optimise their operations and deliver their products with the utmost care and environmental responsibility. At SJA Filmtech, we are proud to offer innovative solutions that address your specific challenges. Our comprehensive range of products, backed by BRCGS certification and over 125 years of combined experience, is transforming how industries approach their packaging needs.
At SJA Filmtech, we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, offering innovative solutions tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by our clients. Our extensive range of products is designed not only to improve packaging efficiency but also to minimise waste and reduce carbon footprints across several industries.
Food Manufacturing and Medical Sectors: SJA Filmtech’s human and eco-friendly solutions
The food industry demands packaging that preserves freshness while enhancing operational efficiency. Our specialised PET lidding films with anti-fog and anti-mist properties are revolutionizing ready meal packaging, ensuring your products maintain their appeal on store shelves. For bakery operations, our easy-peel and medium-peel films provide the perfect balance of protection and accessibility, while our gas barrier films (PE/EVOH/PE) ensure extended shelf life for sensitive products.
Our innovation extends to sustainability, with our latest compostable PLA films offering food manufacturers an eco-friendly alternative that doesn’t compromise on performance. These materials are perfectly suited for fresh produce packaging, addressing both environmental concerns and product preservation needs.
In healthcare, precision and reliability are critical. Our silicone release liners, featuring customisable release values from very easy to tight, are specifically engineered for medical device packaging and sensitive adhesive applications. The ability to control release values precisely ensures consistent performance in crucial medical procedures.
For sterile barrier packaging, our high-performance PET and HDPE films provide the necessary protection while maintaining sterility. These materials can be enhanced with our precision hot needle perforation technology (available in P1, P8, P30, and P160 patterns) when controlled breathability is required.
E-Commerce Evolution
The UK has the third largest eCommerce market in the world after China. eCommerce revenues in the UK are expected to have an annual average growth rate of 12.6% by 2025. This will mean more packaging needed for delivering products.
The digital retail sector demands efficiency at every level. Our traverse wound bobbins, capable of holding up to 60km of material, are transforming e-commerce packaging operations. These replace traditional 2,500m pads with 20,000m spools, dramatically reducing changeover times and increasing production efficiency.
Our specialised E-Commerce Cover/Bag Release Tapes, available in various widths from 12mm to 30mm, are specifically designed for high-volume packaging operations. When combined with our de-spooling technology, these solutions create a seamless packaging process that significantly reduces operational downtime.
Automotive and Industrial
For car companies and the like, our specialised wrapping films play a crucial role in protecting the complex network of wires and cables that power everything from your engine to your entertainment system. Our PET films shield the main wiring systems around your engine, while our innovative AluPet and CuPet materials provide special protection for the sensitive electronic ‘brains’ of your vehicle – including safety sensors and driver assistance systems. Our films ensure these vital components are protected from heat, moisture, and wear.
Our industrial-grade films are hard at work in factories and infrastructure projects worldwide. From protecting the power cables that keep factory robots running to safeguarding the undersea cables that connect our telecommunications networks, our BOPP and MOPP films provide essential protection.
We also apply special treatments to our films that help them stick perfectly to various surfaces These same materials protect the cables in industrial machinery, robot arms, and electric motors, ensuring they can withstand the demanding conditions of modern manufacturing environments.
Our Commitment to a Greener Future
At SJA Filmtech, we believe protecting our environment is just as important as protecting your products. That’s why we’ve developed innovative ways to use recycled materials in our packaging films without sacrificing quality. Think of it like this: those plastic bottles you recycle at home? We can turn them into high-quality packaging materials. In fact, up to 70% of some of our films come from recycled sources, helping reduce waste while maintaining the high performance you expect.
We’ve also created a smart recycling system right here at our facility. Any waste or trim from our production process doesn’t go to landfill – instead, it’s carefully sorted, processed, and transformed into new materials. It’s like giving our production materials a second life, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Three ways we’re making a difference:
- We turn your everyday recycled plastics into new packaging materials (up to 70% of the final product)
- Our films help you meet your company’s environmental goals while maintaining product quality
- We collect and transform our own factory waste into new materials, creating a continuous recycling loop
