HDPE and paper product manufacturing solutions for blanking and other paper product applications.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is used in the blanking process of paper product manufacturing as a cutting board. In the blanking process, large sheets of paper or other materials are fed into a blanking press, which uses sharp cutting tools to cut out the individual envelope blanks. The paper sheets must be placed on a cutting board or mat to prevent damage to the cutting tools and ensure precise cuts. HDPE cutting boards are often used in the blanking process because they provide a smooth, durable cutting surface that can withstand repeated use without dulling or degrading. HDPE is a strong, rigid plastic that resists cracking, warping, and other forms of damage, which makes it ideal for use as a cutting board in paper product manufacturing. Additionally, HDPE is a food-safe and non-toxic material, which makes it suitable for use in applications where paper products are intended for food or other sensitive uses.

Paper Product Manufacturing Materials Overview
How are plastics used in paper manufacturing?
Rigid plastic packaging materials, such as trays, clamshells, and containers, protect and display paper products, such as notebooks, cards, and other stationery items. Plastic coatings and laminates can be applied to paper products, such as cups, plates, and boxes, to provide added strength, durability, and moisture resistance.
Plastics are also used to manufacture binders, folders, and signage. Rigid plastic signs can be used for displays and advertising for paper products such as posters, banners, and brochures.
Plastics for Paper Product Manufacturing fall under NAICS code #322.
