Plastic granulates and flakes are the core raw materials used in molding, extrusion, and forming of plastic packaging across industries. Their quality directly affects production efficiency, product performance, and compliance. In food, healthcare, electronics, and consumer goods, consistency is key.<\/p>\n

Properties like molecular weight, density, melt flow index, and moisture content all influence how the material behaves during processing. With recycled materials<\/strong>, variability in source and contamination risk adds further complexity.<\/p>\n

Pack-Lab offers advanced analytical testing of plastic granulates and flakes<\/strong>, including composition, flow characteristics, contamination checks<\/strong>, and compliance verification<\/strong>. Whether virgin or recycled, we help manufacturers optimize formulations and secure quality and safety from the earliest stage of the packaging supply chain.<\/p>\n
