Markets
About Us
We are a 100% Mexican company dedicated to manufacturing of flexible packaging solutions. With more than 40 years in the market, we offer solutions tailored to the requirements of our customer’s products.
We are continuously evolving our technology, processes, raw materials, and labor force to ensure that our customers benefit from the latest innovations.
Not only do we attend to the needs of the domestic market, our products and solutions also cross borders into North America and South America.
Value added
We adapt to market requirements as well as sustainability trends, updating our raw materials, technology, and processes accordingly. We maintain certified facilities and processes, with practices in place that allow us to comply with customer requirements and regulations.
Quality
Confidence in the quality of our packaging is essential to our customers, thus we make a personal commitment through our quality assurance policy:
“We are committed to creating value and satisfying the Customer by offering products and services that exceed Quality, Cost and Delivery Requirements; working as a team to continuously pursue improvements in processes and the Quality Management System”
Safety
Approximately 80% of our product line is used in the food and beverages industry, so it is important for us to maintain a commitment to our customers through our safety policy:
“At Plásticos Uribe we manufacture flexible plastic packaging for a wide array of industries – including the food and beverages industry. We are committed to safety by developing products in accordance with governmental safety regulations and customer requirements.”
Certifications
Certifications:
We have a series of certifications that demonstrate our commitment to our customers:
- Oxo-degradable plastics (pdf)
- ISO 9001: 2008 -in process of migration to version 2015 (pdf)
Sustainability
We are committed to sustainability and responsible use of resources.
Through our waste management processes, we are able to:
-Reduce the use of fuels for heat generation by leveraging heat residuals from other processes.
-Use low solvent consumption technologies; we use 100% recycled solvents for cleaning process.
-All scrap material is reprocessed and utilized in the manufacture of alternative products.
- We reduce the use of electricity with “inverter” technology in our processes as well as lighting automation.
Additionally, we offer solutions to all our packaging with the incorporation of oxo-degrading additives (contact any of our agents for more information) from our commercial partner d2w® at the customer's request, with a shelf life up 12 to 18 months (degradation measured according to ASTM 6954-18).
Technology
We are a multidisciplinary team with the technical and design skills to develop packaging solutions to meet the needs, requirements and expectations of our customer’s products. In partnership with the client, we design packaging that is of high quality, functional, and visually appealing. We offer production line sampling to help validate performance and functionality.
We are equipped with the blow film extrusion process for polyethylene films that can be adapted according to end-use requirements (freezing, load resistance, fast seal, puncture resistance, heat shrinkage, etc.); Our capabilities include co-extrusion equipment with up to 5 layers as well as monolayer equipment with an installed capacity of 650 metric tons per month.
We utilize the flexography printing process up to 10 + 10 colors with high performance gearless CI press. We use the latest technology in HD plates and a variety of solvent based ink applications (resistant to extreme temperatures, texture modifiers, etc.) with an installed capacity of 800 metric tons per month.
The process by which we join 2 or 3 different films to improve the properties and performance for different sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals. We employ solvent-less equipment with a capacity up to 200 metric tons per month.
This process performs the sectioning of materials for FFS packaging with extremely precise mirror finishes in the cut. It is also used when a larger finish in dimensions and cut is required in the bagging process. We currently have state-of-the-art equipment with an installed capacity to process 750 metric tons per month.
This process is where the plastic film is made, cut and sealed when the packaging is required to be a ready-made bag. We have different equipment that allow a diverse range of bags: bottom seal, side seal and bags for automatic packaging (wicket type), allowing for a wide range of flexible packaging solutions. Our current installed capacity allows us to process up to 300 metric tons per month.
