ALL PLAST, 25 YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN FOOD PLASTIC PACKAGING

Ahead of ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS 2026, manufacturer ALL PLAST is highlighting a precise positioning within the food plastic packaging chain: the production of polystyrene and polypropylene reels for Form-Fill-Seal lines and thermoforming. The company, headquartered in the Taharacht business zone in Akbou (Béjaïa, Algeria), claims more than 25 years of experience in this technical segment.

The company’s commercial positioning is summed up by a phrase claimed by the manufacturer: “Your imagination, our packaging”. This reflects a partnership-based approach with packers and processors, to whom ALL PLAST offers calibrated solutions designed to enhance their finished products on the shelf and throughout the logistics chain.

Raw materials, the first step towards performance

For ALL PLAST, the quality of a reel begins before extrusion. The company carefully selects its raw materials, mainly polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP) granules, along with colourants chosen according to the specific requirements of each project. These granules are then melted and homogenised in a high-temperature extruder, a stage that directly determines the consistency of the sheet produced downstream.

This upstream approach places material sourcing at the same level of importance as processing. For a manufacturer supplying reels to high-speed packers, the traceability of granule batches is a prerequisite for consistent performance at the extruder output.

On this type of line, the slightest variation in reel thickness or flatness can generate machine stoppages, rejects or sealing defects. The industrial consistency announced by ALL PLAST for its PP and PS reels directly addresses these process constraints. This level of regularity is what enables a reel supplier to establish a lasting position with major packers.

Custom solutions for four application areas

The manufacturer highlights the versatility of its reels, which can be used both on FFS lines and in traditional thermoforming processes. This dual capability covers a wide range of industrial uses and enables ALL PLAST to address several sectors simultaneously.

The company claims four main application sectors. First, the dairy industry, a historic market for the PS / PP combination used for yoghurt pots, fresh cheese trays and dessert cream cups. Then ready meals, which require compatibility with sealing operations and certain thermal requirements. The fruit and vegetable segment, which uses transparent thermoformed trays for fresh-cut produce workshops. Finally, non-food technical packaging, which uses the same extrusion expertise but meets different specifications.

This custom approach is reflected in technical dialogue with each customer, covering sheet thickness, formulation, colour or the expected downstream performance, whether for cold thermoforming, hot thermoforming or filling on FFS lines.

An in-house laboratory to secure food contact

ALL PLAST positions its quality approach as a pillar of its offer. The company has a dedicated in-house laboratory, equipped with precision instruments and run by a team of experts. This tool embodies, in the manufacturer’s own words, its commitment to the reliability, traceability and quality of all delivered products.

This control-based approach is particularly meaningful in the context of food contact, governed in Europe by Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended to come into contact with food, complemented by Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles. For a reel manufacturer, compliance with this framework determines access to European markets. Having an in-house laboratory makes it possible to continuously manage the physical and organoleptic controls required by these standards and to provide packers with the technical documentation required by their own customers.

Circular economy: an approach aligned with the PPWR regulation

ALL PLAST claims an active commitment to the circular economy. The manufacturer recovers and valorises industrial and post-consumer plastic waste, contributing to more sustainable resource management and a reduced environmental footprint. This approach is presented as an integrated part of the company’s operations, rather than a marketing component.

This commitment has particular resonance at European level. According to the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry, European Regulation 2025/40, known as the PPWR, was adopted on 19 December 2024 and published in the Official Journal on 22 January 2025, with the new rules set to apply to companies and Member States from 12 August 2026. By 2030, plastic packaging placed on the European market will have to incorporate a minimum percentage of recycled material, and design for recyclability will become a condition for market access. For PP and PS reel suppliers, this trajectory requires control of regenerated material flows from today. ALL PLAST’s circular approach fits precisely within this perspective.

Focus on ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS 2026

For its 2026 edition, ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS will feature a redesigned organisation built around four major sectoral areas: Packaging and materials, Design and printing, Processing and packaging, and Intralogistics and transport. This will be complemented by a new area called Re-génération, dedicated to renewed uses of packaging, including reusable, recyclable and compostable solutions. The Paris Talks will complete the programme with a series of conferences on regulatory and environmental challenges.

For ALL PLAST, whose activity sits at the intersection of the Packaging and materials and Processing and packaging sectors, ALLFORPACK EMBALLAGE PARIS 2026 represents a direct point of contact with European packers and design offices looking for suppliers aligned with the market’s technical and environmental requirements. This edition will be an opportunity to discover a historic Mediterranean player in PP/PS reels, and to discuss the food plastic packaging solutions it offers its customers.
