Looking for a quotation for custom LDPE film? The more we know about your packaging requirements, the easier it is to recommend a suitable solution.
Start by telling us what product the film needs to protect, how it will be stored and handled, and what you expect from the packaging. If you already have dimensions, a technical drawing or an existing film specification, please include those as well.
At Manitox, we manufacture custom LDPE films for industrial, construction and packaging applications. We also offer packaging design support and advice on film thickness, helping our customers find solutions that meet their technical and practical requirements.
Start with the Product You Need to Package
The first thing we need to know is what the film will be used for.
Describe the product you want to protect and explain the role of the packaging. Is the film intended to protect individual products, cover a larger unit or secure goods on a pallet? If you have the dimensions of the packaged unit, include them in your enquiry.
Please distinguish between the dimensions of the product itself and those of the finished packaging unit, as they may differ.
It’s also useful to know where and how the goods will be stored. Will they be kept indoors or outdoors? How long does the packaging need to remain in place? Will the products be handled individually, packed in boxes or stored on pallets?
These details help us understand the actual demands on the film and recommend an appropriate solution.
Key Considerations in Packaging Design at Manitox
What Dimensions and Film Format Should You Specify?
If you already know which type of film you need, let us know its format and required dimensions. Also tell us how the film will be supplied – for example, on rolls, as sheets or in another format.
A technical drawing or your current film specification is particularly useful when replacing an existing packaging material. Make sure the drawing clearly distinguishes between the product dimensions and the film dimensions.
If you’re not sure which format would work best, we can start with the product and packaging details instead.
We can also review your current film dimensions if you would like to improve the fit or reduce material usage. In this case, provide the actual product dimensions and explain where additional material is needed for fitting, sealing or closing the package.
The Manitox industrial range includes several film formats and structures, so we can discuss the available options based on your application.

When Should You Ask for Advice on Film Thickness?
If your existing specification includes a film thickness, please provide the exact value and unit of measurement.
If you haven’t decided on the thickness yet, we can help you choose one based on the intended application. The right choice depends on what the film needs to protect, how it will be used and what performance is expected from the finished packaging.
When replacing an existing film, tell us what works well with the current material and whether there are any issues you would like to address. This gives us a better understanding of what the new film needs to deliver.
Advice on Film Thickness Selection
Recycled Raw Materials and Special Requirements
Depending on the application and the required film properties, Manitox can also recommend solutions made from recycled or partially recycled raw materials.
If recycled content is important to your purchasing decision, let us know whether it is a mandatory requirement or whether you would also consider an alternative material. This helps us assess the available options and prepare a quotation that reflects your needs.
Manitox Advice on Raw Materials
Some applications also require additional properties. Depending on the film and its intended use, requirements such as UV stability, antistatic properties or flame retardancy may need to be considered.
If your customer has provided a technical specification or you work to internal quality requirements, please share the relevant details with us. We can then discuss which options are available for your particular application.
Special Packaging Requirements
Odour can also be an important consideration, especially when packaging sensitive products.
If you manufacture or package mattresses, textiles or similar products, let us know whether there are any specific requirements regarding odour. This is particularly important when considering films made from recycled raw materials, so it’s best to discuss it right from the start.

How Can the Manitox Film Laboratory Help You?
If you’re considering replacing your current film, Manitox can also test materials manufactured by other suppliers in its own film laboratory.
If you have a sample of the film you currently use, send it to us or let our sales team know that a sample is available. It also helps to have the existing product specification and a description of the performance requirements the alternative material needs to meet.
Our laboratory can test various properties of finished films, including elongation and tear-related characteristics.
If you need specific test results or quality documentation with your order, please mention this when requesting a quotation. We can then discuss which tests and documents are required for your product.

Sampling, Production and Delivery – What Should You Agree on?
If a sample needs to be approved before production, include this in your initial enquiry. It’s important to allow enough time for both sample preparation and approval before the full order goes into production.
Please also tell us when you need the finished goods and whether you plan to collect them from our production site or require delivery.
Agreeing on these details early helps both sides plan the process and avoid unnecessary delays.
