HIPS for Printing

High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) offers a consistent, easily printed matte surface for either one or two sided printing applications. This polystyrene product, available in HIPS sheet or roll stock form, is especially suitable for Lithographic or Flexographic printing of displays, POP graphics, signs, translights, tags and cards.

HIPS for Forming

High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is perfect to be formed for demanding end-use applications in the food, dairy, and medical packaging industries. The properties ensure compliance with strict food and medical regulations. HIPS sheets (also available in roll stock form) are especially suitable for form-fill-seal, thermoforming and die cutting applications. HIPS sheets low residual volatile make it particularly useful in packaging for taste-and-odor-sensitive products.
