VELPLASTIC® Applications

Across every major industrial sector, VELPLASTIC® corrugated polypropylene has become the material of choice for operations seeking to permanently eliminate cardboard, wood and other disposable packaging from their supply chains. The following is an overview of proven applications by industry:

Health & Pharmaceutical

VELPLASTIC® products are engineered to satisfy the stringent hygiene and containment protocols demanded by hospitals, clinical laboratories and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

We produce purpose-built polypropylene packaging and rigid containers designed specifically for the safe collection and transport of hazardous clinical waste – fully impervious to water, blood and oils, with zero risk of microbial growth on contact surfaces.

Tailored to your specification: custom dimensions, volume capacities, and antistatic or conductive additive packages for pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.

Available in 22 L to 60 L configurations with integrated bag-and-tie closure systems, ADR-certified for the regulated transport of hazardous materials.

Construction

On construction sites across Europe, VELPLASTIC® panels have become a standard-specification alternative to plywood, MDF and corrugated cardboard for temporary works and site protection.

◆ Surface protection for finished floors, tiles and hardwood during fit-out and finishing trades

◆ Lightweight formwork and shuttering for concrete pours, column encasements and edge profiles

◆ Separation and insulation membranes between masonry, drywall and cladding assemblies

Pressure-washable and redeployable across multiple projects – significantly reducing per-site material expenditure.

Agriculture & Farming

For the agricultural sector, Pirinplast manufactures UV-stabilized products built to deliver season-after-season performance under sustained outdoor exposure, temperature swings and mechanical handling.

◆ Sapling and tree trunk protectors with multi-year UV resistance for orchards and reforestation

◆ Extruded UV netting for vine training, olive harvesting, crop shading and aquaculture operations

◆ Propagation trays, irrigation channels and modular greenhouse panel systems

◆ Harvest crates and field containers – lightweight, food-contact certified, nestable and fully stackable

Engineered for years of continuous field use with no loss of structural integrity.

Glass Industry

The glass manufacturing and processing sector requires absolute precision in interleaving and transit protection – VELPLASTIC® delivers exactly that at every stage from furnace exit to final delivery.

We produce precision-cut separator sheets and edge-welded interleaving pads from VELPLASTIC® stock — positioned between flat glass panels, bottle layers, or any fragile glass product during stacking, palletising and transport.

Key performance benefits: Negligible weight addition • Completely lint-free and dust-free surface • Fully washable between cycles • Hundreds of reuse rotations per unit

Closed-loop material management: Through our official buy-back programme, worn or end-of-life dividers are returned to Pirinplast for granulation and re-extrusion – ensuring zero landfill from your packaging operations.

Automotive Industry

Pirinplast is an established tier-2 packaging partner to the European automotive supply chain, delivering bespoke transit packaging systems engineered to the exact dimensional and protection specifications of OEM component suppliers.

Reusable Packaging

Reusability is not an add-on feature – it is the fundamental design principle behind every VELPLASTIC® converted product, enabling our clients to transition from linear disposal to fully circular packaging operations.

◆ Returnable boxes, stackable crates and precision divider systems for closed-loop supply chains

◆ Point-of-sale display stands and promotional fixtures for retail and trade show environments

◆ Engineered for flat-fold and knock-down assembly – minimising empty return volumes and warehousing footprint

The business case is straightforward: a single VELPLASTIC® container replaces hundreds of disposable cardboard equivalents over its service life – delivering measurable savings in procurement cost, waste handling fees and Scope 3 emissions reporting.

Office

VELPLASTIC® corrugated polypropylene brings industrial-grade durability to everyday office and professional storage – replacing fragile cardboard organisers with products built to last for years of daily use.

◆ Document carrying cases and portfolio briefcases with integrated clip closures – lightweight, water-resistant and fully brandable

◆ Archive boxes and filing containers with reinforced handles – stackable, collapsible and impervious to moisture and dust

◆ Custom-printed presentation folders and sample kits – produced with corona-treated surfaces for sharp, durable logo and graphics reproduction

Available in the full VELPLASTIC® colour range with custom printing, embossing and branded hardware options for corporate identity programmes.

Metallurgy

In steel mills, aluminium rolling plants and metal service centres, VELPLASTIC® sheets serve as the critical interface material that prevents surface damage to high-value coil and sheet metal products throughout storage, handling and dispatch.

We manufacture precision-slit coil edge protectors, interleaving sheets and radial wrap segments from VELPLASTIC® stock – engineered to hold metal coils firmly in position on pallets and cradles while shielding finished surfaces from scoring, oxidation marks and transit abrasion.

Key performance benefits: Impervious to cutting oils and coolant residues • Will not scratch polished or coated metal surfaces • Dimensionally stable under heavy compressive loads • Fully reusable across hundreds of coil-handling cycles

End-of-life recovery: Worn protectors and interleaving sheets are accepted back through our buy-back programme for granulation and re-extrusion – eliminating disposal costs and keeping PP out of landfill.

Printables / Corona Treatment

VELPLASTIC® corona-treated sheets transform corrugated polypropylene into a high-performance printable substrate – delivering the visual impact of rigid signage with the weight and cost advantages of plastic.

Our in-line corona discharge treatment raises sheet surface energy to ≥46 dyne/cm, guaranteeing excellent ink adhesion for screen printing, flexographic printing and large-format digital UV output – without primers or additional surface preparation.

◆ Election and campaign placards – weatherproof, lightweight and produced in volume runs on short lead times

◆ Retail signage, point-of-purchase displays and promotional boards for indoor and outdoor installation

◆ Construction site hoarding and safety information panels – UV-stabilized grades available for extended outdoor exposure

Fully recyclable after use – unlike PVC foam board and other conventional signage substrates that end up in landfill.

Display Stands

VELPLASTIC® corrugated PP display stands deliver load-bearing structural integrity and moisture resistance that traditional cardboard point-of-sale units simply cannot match.

We manufacture Free-Standing Display Units (FSDUs) and Point-of-Sale (POS) fixtures engineered for heavy FMCG payloads. Designed as flat-pack systems, they drastically reduce volumetric shipping costs while ensuring rapid, tool-less assembly on site.

◆ Load-bearing geometry: Custom-routed cellular structures capable of supporting heavy retail goods without structural deflection or failure.

◆ Corona-treated surfaces: Engineered for direct high-resolution UV and screen printing, ensuring vibrant and durable brand reproduction.

◆ Environmental resistance: Completely impervious to retail spills, floor cleaning equipment, and ambient humidity.

Fully redeployable across multiple retail cycles and 100% recyclable at the end of their service life.

Expo Stand Sets

VELPLASTIC® modular expo stands provide the structural rigidity of traditional exhibition builds while eliminating the severe weight and freight penalties of wood and MDF.

We engineer complete exhibition ecosystems, including backdrop panels, branded counters, and display shelving. Every component is precision-cut for flat-fold transport and immediate, interlocking assembly.

Volumetric efficiency: By utilising lightweight, collapsible PP geometry, an entire modular booth can be transported in standard commercial vans, bypassing heavy freight logistics.

Modular & Reusable: Reconfigure the same structural elements for varying floor plans. Surfaces are corona-treated to hold high-fidelity graphics that will not warp or degrade under exhibition lighting.

Engineered for multi-season durability, drastically reducing per-event marketing expenditure.
