Polythene Sheeting
Abbey Polythene can provide sheeting in any size rolls up to 4 metres wide to cater for many different applications. It can be centre or multi-folded for easy use and storage. It can also be made with perforations so that smaller sheets can be torn from the roll or we can supply cut sheets in boxes.
Polythene sheeting can be supplied clear, coloured or tinted, and, if required, with a one colour random print. The sheeting can be made from virgin grade, BRC approved food grade or recycled polythene.
There are a variety of additives and procedures that can be used if the polythene sheeting is required for specialist purposes. These include low slip, high slip, high strength, anti-static for printed circuit boards and fire retardant for additional safety. We can also supply sheeting with a volatile corrosive inhibitor to reduce rust formation on the product covered. If the sheeting is to be used outdoors it may need an ultraviolet inhibitor, which not only significantly delays the degradation of the polythene when exposed to sunlight, it also protects the covered product from damage by the UV rays of the sun.
Punched holes can be added if required, or micro perforations that make the polythene breathable and to stop misting and fogging.
Polythene Products
Our polythene products can be made from virgin grade, BRC approved food grade, recycled or degradable film. They can be manufactured from light duty polythene up to extra heavy duty in a very wide range of sizes. The film can be clear, coloured or tinted, and most products can have a fixed or random print on one or both sides, in up to three colours. We can also help with the design of your print if required. We can also supply a range of compostable bags that conform to DIN EN 13432. These are particularly useful for food waste.
Different additives can be added to our polythene products to enable them to be used for a range of specialist applications such as anti-static for printed circuit boards, scented, low slip, high slip, high strength, fire retardant, EVA for freezer use low melt for the rubber industry, UV stabiliser to protect the polythene and goods from damage from sunlight, or volatile corrosive inhibitor that protects against rust. We can also add punched holes or micro perforations if you need to allow air to escape or the product inside to breathe. We also supply lipped bags with a permanent seal strip.
Most of our products are made to order, although we do stock a small range of bags. If you don’t see what you require listed here, please contact us as we may be able to make or source what you need.
Amphibian Fencing
Also known as Newt Fencing, the combination of polythene sheeting with wooden stake support is now considered to be the preferred way to erect newt fencing. Polythene sheeting is considered to be the best low disturbance form of fencing for amphibian and small animals. Anyone wishing to protect this type of habitat will need to provide suitable fencing in order to obtain the relevant DEFRA licence.
We supply polythene sheeting which is specifically designed to be used as amphibian fencing, and features an ultra-violet inhibitor additive which prevents the polythene from deteriorating or rotting when used outside, exposed to sunlight. Using this additive means that the polythene sheeting can last for as long as 5 years in the outdoors and will not degrade as rapidly as ordinary polythene. The anti-UV sheeting can be provided in a number of sizes, and is also available in a tint or colour that can be matched to the habitat it will be used in. The sheeting can have a print on if required.
If you want to install amphibian fencing to protect a habitat, or to ensure that reptiles are unharmed during research or environmental studies, then this UV polythene sheeting is one of the best ways to do so without damaging the surrounding environment. This type of fencing is cost effective and relatively long lasting.
We always want to provide our customers with the best service possible, and to ensure that they are completely satisfied with the products we supply. This means we are always happy to hear from you, so contact us today with any enquiries or comments.

Low Melt EVA Bags
Within the chemical and rubber industries this type of bag is also known as an inclusion bag. The EVA resin ensures that the bags, sacks and film are able to melt at much lower temperatures than standard polythene products. The percentage of additive can be varied up to 18% to suit individual applications. Specification sheets are available on request. Adding EVA gives another added advantage over standard polythene as the seal quality is improved along with puncture resistance.
EVA low-melt bags can be stored at freezing temperatures as low as -30 degrees C. They are not going to deteriorate become brittle in these low temperatures, unlike standard plastic bags. This makes them suitable to store a range of frozen items including meats, vegetables and even ice.
Our low-melt EVA bags are made to the highest standards, and are designed to be high-quality, durable bags suitable for use in a number of industries. Order from us and you will see that you can get the best quality bags and products alongside great customer service for complete satisfaction.
Abbey Polythene can supply you with these high-quality products in plain or printed polythene, manufactured to your own specifications. If you have specific dimensions in mind, or need advice, contact us today with your requirements and we will either produce the product ourselves or, for things we cannot make, source it from another manufacturer.
Scented Polythene Bags, Sacks & Sheeting
Although bin bags and liners are the most common reason we get asked for scented polythene sacks, there are a number of other reasons for it to be created. Not only can it mask unpleasant smells, it can also be used in some situations to repel insects such as moths, or to add scent to a room in a discreet manner. There are a variety of scents available and at present we offer our customers a choice between three different scents: Vanilla, Lemon and Lavender. We may also be able to supply you with other fragrances, simply contact us with your preferences.
The scented bags and sheets are created by introducing a small percentage of the scent additive to the polythene at a specific point in the manufacturing process. This is usually done just as the polythene granules are being blown into a film, so that the scent is spread evenly throughout the product and no part of the film is missed.
This scented additive can be added to clear, tinted or coloured film and has no detrimental effect on printing on this type of polythene.
We are able to offer the best quality products and we strive to ensure our customers consistently get the same high standard with every order. If you want to talk to us about your scented polythene requirements, or about any of the other products we supply, please contact us today.
