Corrugated polypropylene, also known by various trade names including Polyflute, Coroplast, Proplex, Correx, Corriflute, and Corflute, is a highly versatile material that offers a unique combination of durability and lightweight properties. This material is essentially an extruded twin-wall plastic sheet, engineered to mimic the structure of corrugated fiberboard, but with enhanced strength, resistance to moisture and an extended lifespan. These qualities make corrugated polypropylene ideal for a wide range of applications in both protective packaging and product handling.

At Excel Packaging, we specialise in the conversion of corrugated polypropylene sheets into custom-designed packaging solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Utilising processes such as die-cutting, CNC knifing, laminating and gluing, we can create a variety of products that ensure maximum protection and efficiency.

Our capabilities include the production of:

  • Trays & Lids – Durable trays and lids for storing and shipping products securely.
  • Layer Pads – Essential for separating layers of products in a carton or crate to prevent damage.
  • Cartons – Custom-designed corrugated polypropylene cartons that provide excellent protection for goods.

The advantages of corrugated polypropylene are vast, making it an ideal choice for industries such as electronics, automotive, pharmaceuticals, retail, and logistics. Its resistance to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures ensures that your products are safe from damage in challenging environments. Additionally, it is a lightweight yet durable material, reducing overall shipping costs while providing excellent protection.
