Our high-performance and custom-built facilities have enabled high-speed production, multi-material injection, stack moulding and the production of complex cap designs, as well as the implementation of quality control methods to meet food industry requirements. Technical products and creativity are part of our idea of innovation.

    Our Specialities 

    Why use thin wall packaging?

    The injection of thin wall items is our core business. Using our expert knowledge of cutting-edge technology, we have significantly reduced the thickness of numerous types of packaging, whilst ensuring they remain both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

    Leading the way in the food market, our benchmark products have helped to bring about reductions in both production costs and carbon footprint across the industry.

    IML, used for all shapes and sizes

    Herplast has been a pioneer of IML (in-mould labelling) ever since it was first developed, and we have continued to invest in this technology for over 35 years.

    We now use IML in our workshops to decorate nearly 3 million items every day. Increased quality and precise printing, easy-to-modify graphics and single-material packaging are just some of the advantages of using IML.

    With our experience we can guarantee to deliver the highest quality products within agreed timescales and budgets.
