Flexible packaging
Recycled Flexible Packaging, Made and Verified Under One Roof
Shanghai LiHai Industrial manufactures recycled flexible packaging for buyers in 35+ export markets. We operate our own recycling pelletizing and film-blowing lines, so the recycled content in your bag is not a trader’s claim — it is a process we control. Every programme ships with GRS, OEKO-TEX and SMETA documentation, verifiable online by certificate number. Trial orders start at 500 pcs, with printed samples in 3–5 working days.
The problem
Recycled Content Claims That Don’t Survive an Audit
EU PPWR targets and UK retail audits increasingly ask not just “how much recycled content?” but “prove the chain of custody.” Buyers who source film from one supplier, printing from another and conversion from a third often cannot produce that proof.
Our answer
Vertical Integration From Pellet to Printed Bag
We recycle, pelletize, blow film, print and convert in one operation. Raw-material quality is stable and traceable because we produce the resin ourselves, and every batch can be traced through our GRS scope certificate.
| Recycled content | 30%–100% post-consumer, per programme requirement |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 2 pelletizing lines, 2 film-blowing lines, 8 printing presses (including one 10-colour), slitting 800–1300 mm |
| Film thickness | 50–80 µm typical, matched to application |
| Sampling | 3–5 working days; free on standard lines |
Recycle & pelletize
Post-consumer material is recycled and pelletized on 2 in-house lines — we produce the resin ourselves.
Blow film
2 film-blowing lines convert our own resin into film, 50–80 µm typical.
8 printing presses, including one 10-colour machine, print in-house.
Convert
Slitting at 800–1300 mm and conversion into finished bags — one operation, one chain of custody.

Case study
Supplying a UK Supermarket Programme (Anonymised)
A large UK supermarket supply chain required carrier and mailing packaging with verified recycled content and auditable documentation. We qualified through their compliance process by supplying GRS transaction certificates per shipment, SMETA audit records and PPWR-aligned recycled-content declarations. Production runs from our own pelletizing and film-blowing lines, so recycled content is declared from process records rather than estimates. The programme continues on repeat orders across multiple packaging formats.
