As converters navigate rising costs, tariff pressures, and unpredictable supply chains, one question becomes unavoidable:
How do you secure the materials you need without compromising performance, compliance, or sustainability?
At Now Plastics, our product portfolio was built precisely for that challenge — offering both flexibility and future-readiness across multiple packaging sectors.
1. A Diverse Portfolio That Supports Every Major Application
Now Plastics supplies a broad range of essential flexible packaging substrates, including:
-
BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) Films
-
PET (Polyester) Films
-
PE (Polyethylene) Films
-
Nylon (BOPA) Films
-
Converter-grade Aluminum Foil
This diversity allows converters to source all major materials from a single partner — simplifying procurement and ensuring consistent quality across formats.
2. High-Barrier Alternatives: Performance Without the Pain of Tariffs
In today’s tariff-driven environment, the ability to shift materials can be a strategic advantage.
That’s why Now Plastics actively sources high-barrier BOPP and PET films that can serve as alternatives to aluminum foil. These films offer:
-
Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier
-
Improved recyclability potential
-
Lower cost volatility
-
Reduced exposure to aluminum tariffs
For many converters, these alternatives offer a path to maintain performance while mitigating both cost and compliance burdens.
3. Sustainability at the Center of Innovation
As brands and retailers raise sustainability requirements, converters need materials that help them meet environmental expectations without sacrificing performance.
Now Plastics supports this by sourcing:
-
Recyclable mono-material structures
-
Bio-based and next-generation films
-
PCR-content substrates
-
Lightweight alternatives that reduce transportation emissions
This is more than a trend — it’s a long-term shift. And our role is to make sure converters can adapt without disrupting supply or overextending budgets.
In our next post, we’ll break down how Now Plastics’ integrated supply chain services — warehousing, logistics, financial support, and technical consulting — deliver resilience in a tariff-driven world.
