Welcome, to the state-of-the-art 30,000 square metre facility, meticulously designed for the production of top-quality polythene sacks. The factory not only boasts advanced technology but also proudly holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, reflecting our commitment to superior quality systems, health and safety standards, and environmental stewardship.
Sustainability is at the heart of the operation. They utilise heat generated from burning old and broken wooden pallets to partially power the facility, with all emissions meticulously filtered to protect the environment. Their hot melt process for polythene film production is designed for maximum efficiency, with all production waste recycled on-site and reintegrated into the process.
They prioritise eco-friendly practices at every stage. Polymers are delivered and stored in bulk, eliminating single-use plastics. The packaging is crafted from 100% recycled cardboard, sourced from many dedicated partners, and is fully recyclable.
The printing process is entirely chemical-free, using water-based inks to ensure no harmful substances are released. The machinery is water-cooled within a closed-loop system, allowing for continual reuse of water, and air-cooled to prevent harmful emissions. All equipment is less then three years old, featuring the latest energy-efficient and adiabatic technologies.
Join us in embracing a greener future with the cutting-edge, eco-conscious production solutions!
The Process

Manufacturing
At JPK, we have a detailed and precise method to manufacture high-quality polythene bags using an advanced extrusion process. Here is how it's done:
We start with the necessary resources, including polyethylene resin, an extrusion machine, an extrusion die, a cooling system, cutting and sealing equipment, and quality control tools.
Safety is paramount in our operations. All personnel wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and aprons. The extrusion machines are properly grounded to prevent static electricity build-up. The machinery undergoes regular inspections and maintenance to prevent malfunctions. The factory maintain a clean and obstruction-free work area, and all workers are thoroughly trained in emergency shutdown procedures.
For material preparation, we ensure that the polyethylene resin that is used is of the highest grade and quality. The resin is loaded into the hopper of the extrusion machine. Once the machine is started, it's set to the appropriate temperature and pressure settings specific to the resin being used. The resin is then melted and pushed through the extrusion die, forming a continuous tube of molten plastic.
This extruded tube passes through the cooling system, where the plastic solidifies. It's then flattened and shaped by the tube using rollers to achieve the desired thickness. The flattened tube is guided through the cutting and sealing mechanism, which cuts the tube into individual bag lengths and simultaneously seals the open ends of each bag.
Quality control is a critical aspect of this process. Regular inspection of the bags for defects such as holes, wrinkles, or uneven sealing. The team conducts thorough quality checks on bag dimensions and visual appearance. Once the bags meet stringent quality standards, they are packed into appropriate packaging for distribution. The packaged bags are stored in a clean, dry area, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
We are committed to environmental responsibility. Any waste material or scraps generated during the manufacturing process are actively disposed of considering recycling or reusing plastic waste in accordance with local environmental regulations.
In the event of a malfunction or emergency, trained personnel immediately shut down the extrusion machine using the emergency stop button. If necessary, they evacuate the area and contact the relevant personnel for assistance.
This comprehensive method ensures that the bags we sell are of the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental responsibility, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in every product we deliver.
With a steadfast commitment to delivering nothing short of perfection, we've crafted a Quality Management System (QMS) to flawlessly provide products and services that not only meet but exceed the specified requirements of our esteemed customers, while adhering rigorously to all statutory regulations.

Transport
Upon receiving the shipping list from the factory, the items for shipment are selected and delivery details are provided to the factory. The factory will then email JPK ltd with the final counts, delivery notes and invoices. Customers are invoiced on the day of delivery, with items dispatched directly from the Bristol Distribution Centre. The supplier invoice should be stamped, a copy retained for record purposes, and the original returned.
At JPK, we partner with trusted companies to deliver our goods, ensuring high-quality service and excellent value for money through the most economical routes to market. We collaborate with companies that are passionate about reducing our carbon footprint and embracing green initiatives, promoting renewable energy and sustainable operations.
Some examples of these trusted partners are I.J.McGills and Prompt Transport. Both are companies dedicated to minimizing their carbon footprint through various measures. These include dynamic planning, advanced fleet technology to enhance MPG, reduce emissions, monitor vehicle fill, and promote eco-friendly driving practices.
In line with the UK Pledge for zero emissions, the UK government has confirmed that all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in the UK will be zero-emission by 2040. This pledge, combined with the UK's 2030 phase-out of petrol and diesel cars and vans, represents a world-leading commitment to end the sale of all polluting road vehicles within the next two decades. The UK will become the first country to commit to phasing out new, non-zero emission HGVs weighing 26 tonnes and under by 2035, with all new HGVs sold in the UK being zero emission by 2040. We hope these advancements mean we can continue to sustainably deliver goods to our customers while also contributing to the health of our planet - 'GOV.UK'.
