As multi-faceted as packaging itself is the product portfolio of SBU Packaging. We work both with the companies who manufacture packaging materials, packages and with those who actually pack their products. You may well have one of the products we represent next to you right now. Let us check.

Is your cup of coffee there? Your roasted and ground coffee was brought to you in its full flavour thanks to multilayer packaging – for which we might have supplied films and adhesives from Flex Industries or Polyplex Inc and Rohm and Haas correspondingly.

Are you drinking juice? Unless it is fresh squeezed, its carton packaging was enforced with liquid, gas and aroma barrier properties, provided by polymers from our principal Mitsui Co. If it is bottled, is the label printed on metallised paper? Maybe even holographic paper? This may be product from Vacumet, Inc. A plastic label may be printed on the film from ExxonMobil Chemical Films Europe (EMCFE). And if your juice is fresh squeezed, the oranges were delivered to you at least at some point in a carton box or tray assembled with the help of hotmelt adhesive.

Was the ham in your sandwich vacuum packed? Vacuum packaging helps to extend the shelf life of otherwise delicate food products. To create the packaging of your ham its manufacturer might have needed films, adhesives and also gas and aroma barrier provider EVOH – supplied by us from Mitsui Co.

Do you enjoy reading? Your book cover may be laminated with Derprosa’s polypropylene film. Oh, is it a paperback book or a glossy magazine? Then it must be glued with hotmelt, made for example by Intermelt.

Do you smoke? Everything which is used to pack your cigarettes except the carton may be from our principals – EMCFE (OPP foil), Symetal (aluminium foil), Payne (tear tape), HB Fuller (adhesives).

You indulge yourself sometimes with chocolate, don’t you? Symetal’s aluminium foil might have been used just for your сhocolate tablet and cold seal coating from Rohm and Haas on OPP from EMCFE – for your bar. Was there also a tear tape from Payne to ease the opening of that bar?

When you last time bought some bottle to your bar, was it packed in the carton tube to keep your bottle safe on its way to you? Our principals could have contributed to the carton tube with the adhesive made by EOC Belgium. This adhesive can also be used for making a tube for potato chips or for making a core for the reel of films we supply.
