3 PET Sheet Manufacturers Require Federal Assistance
3 PET Sheet Manufacturers Require Federal Assistance
PET Sheet Tariff
3 PET sheet makers are seeking federal help in a potential dumping case in the US. The sheet makers are putting the blame on suppliers located in three other countries. Allegedly, these suppliers are putting products into US market that are severely undercutting price in comparison to other products. It is hoped that the US government will impose a tariff or duty to help bring prices back to normal competition. Many local suppliers of PET sheet have had to decrease their prices to unsustainable levels or even lose business.

Plastic Popsicle Packaging
Lickalix, an iced lolly producer, recently decided to focus on their sustainable and eco-friendly packaging. They are finishing up their polypropylene film and soon switching over to compostable film. They had to install a new flow wrapper from llapak which is more automated, smooth, and has the capability to work with compostable film. This new line is able to produce 100 packs per minute in 75g and 63g variants.
