Rigid plastic sheeting has multiple applications. That is good news for any companies that use rigid plastic sheeting to create other products. If you would like to know more about how you can use plastic sheeting, the following examples show how some different types of manufacturers use this material.
Create Fake Glass
Fake glass is useful where regular glass in windows is unsafe or unwanted. Because it is still clear and easy to see through, the panels of plastic sheeting mimic glass well without the dangers of glass shards. Additionally, manufacturers of dollhouse windows and playhouse windows for children’s structures utilize plastic sheeting instead of glass to keep kids safe.
Melt and Mold Into Food Storage Containers
Food industries and related companies use sheeting to create food storage containers. In fact, many of the containers you see holding food on store shelves is made from plastic sheeting. The sheets are heated to melting point, then molded into desired shapes and thicknesses. Without these plastics, food would spoil and become unsellable to consumers.
Plastic Sign Industries
Plastic signs advertise and direct consumers where to go. The plastic makes the signs cheap and easy to produce. Sheeting is colored and/or imprinted as requested by consumers and crafted by the plastic sign industries. Since sheeting can also be cut and shaped, unique signs and custom signs are possible, bringing about many more possibilities.
Arts and Crafts Industries
Companies that produce arts and crafts materials use plastic sheeting in both products and product containment. You can find and spot plastics in every corner of an art supply store.
