Plastics bag and pouch manufacturers convert plastics resins into flexible packaging products — shopping bags, stand-up pouches, zipper bags, multilayer food pouches, and similar items — through extrusion, lamination, coating, sealing, and printing processes. Operations are typically continuous-process manufacturing environments with significant machinery, raw material inventories, and finished goods warehousing.
Questions to investigate
- What are the primary end-use markets for the bags or pouches produced — food, retail, medical, industrial, or other?
- Does the facility use solvent-based inks, adhesives, or coatings in any part of the production process?
- Is the facility fully sprinklered, and what is the construction type?
- What is the replacement cost of the major production equipment, and are there any single-point-of-failure machines?
