Understanding the Whole Package

Manufacturers, particularly those with a global footprint, face a range of challenges in the world of packaging. Whether they're crafting a consistent and recognizable color and visual profile, addressing concerns with durability, or revamping their ingredients and process to meet sustainability goals, it's a complex question. Teknor Apex is here to be your partner in navigating and succeeding in the packaging space.

Packaging Challenges

Sustainability
Sustainability

Sustainable packaging is no longer a trend, it's a necessity. Teknor Apex offers a comprehensive range of sustainable compounds and colorants including compounds made from recycled or recyclable materials and sustainable colorants formulated specifically for compatibility with recycling processes. This commitment to sustainability throughout nearly every step of your packaging production ensures you can minimize environmental impact while creating high-quality packaging. 

Food Safety
Food Safety

When it comes to food containers, safety reigns supreme. We understand the critical need for inert materials that won't leach chemicals or color pigments into your product. That's why we offer a wide range of food-safe compounds specifically formulated to meet stringent regulations. Our expertise goes beyond just resins – we meticulously select every component, from additives to colorants, ensuring optimal performance and compliance. We also optimize processing conditions to further minimize migration, guaranteeing food-safe packaging you can trust, even for large-scale production.

Durability cost effectiveness
Durability & Cost-Effectiveness

Keeping your products safe throughout their journey, from factory to shelf, is paramount. Teknor Apex understands the delicate balance between strength and affordability in applications like food containers and shampoo bottles and our materials are designed to withstand the rigors of filling, transportation, and even potential drops, minimizing the risk of cracking or breakage that can eat into profits. But we go beyond just tough materials offering expert guidance on material selection and processing techniques, helping you strike the perfect balance between functionality and cost-effectiveness.

Now Available: Carbon Black Alternative for NIR Sorting

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword at Teknor Apex. It's a driving force behind our innovations. That's why we're proud to offer a new carbon black alternative that tackles a major hurdle in plastic recycling: accurate sorting. This technology utilizes a combination of reflective/transparent pigments and specially formulated dyes and organic pigments and allows sorting facilities to precisely identify the plastic type, regardless of the resin used. Whether it's PE, PP, PVC, PET, or something else entirely, our solution ensures efficient sorting for a cleaner waste stream.
