Plastic film is used in a variety of applications from food packaging to vandalism prevention. From our San Francisco Bay Area Plastics Distribution facility we provide customers with common films, such as, Mylar (Polyester Film), Vinyl, PETG and HDPE (Commonly used as Painters Plastic Sheeting), and also custom order Hard-To-Find plastic films, such as, Vandal Shield (pictured above).

If we don't have the film you are looking for in stock, we will gladly order it in for you.

Educational Tip:
In 2011, there was more Polyethylene plastic sheet and film produced globally than the weight of every living human being on the planet. Polyethylene film is used heavily in the food manufacturing, bottling and greenhouse industries because of it's durable characteristics and relatively low cost. Virtually ALL of your household cleaning products, laundry detergents and 1 gallon milk jugs are made from HDPE.

When you call or email to order, it will help if we have:

• the type of material (if you know)
• color or colors
• the thickness or guage
• the sheet size you need, and/or
• final cut sizes
• quantity
• any special finishing you need

Please tell us more about your project or use so we can be more helpful!

If you don't know exactly what you want, we can help with that too.

If you need help designing something, our Design Services department can assist.
