Process
Parker Plastics’ business model is centered around the customer. Machine platforms and facility design, as well as our people and culture are all geared toward flexibility and responsiveness with the end goal of supporting our customer’s needs.
Our custom programs can take the form of a unique bottle design or special packaging requirements. Customer programs may also focus on a stocking program or JIT delivery. In all cases, the program is driven by the customer with the goal of delivering product differentiation and the lowest total cost of our ownership.
Parker starts with YES and works with customers to develop the optimal container program.
Platforms
Parker Plastics’s manufacturing philosophy is geared for maximum flexibility and responsiveness.
Parker Plastics employs state of the art PET and Extrusion manufacturing technology and processes to provide you with best in class products and services.
Pet Manufacturing
27 two-stage reheat and blow molding machines are configured for quick change outs and maximum flexibility and product diversity. Together they have a total output of more than 1,700,000 bottles a day and can produce from 2 oz. up to 5G bottles.
3 single stage machines produce bottles up to 5 gallons.
Extrusion Manufacturing
7 shuttle machines producing containers ranging from 4 oz. to 2.5 gallons. This allows Parker Plastics to offer the optimal mold configuration for your custom molding. We also offer co-extrusion capabilities for containers from 8 oz. up to 2.5 gallons in multi-layered HDPE, featuring a view stripe.
Resins
Parker Plastics offers a variety of resins that allows us to meet your material requirements, whether that means hot fill, high gloss, light weight, high impact, or high ESCR resin. All resins are FDA compliant for food contact and certified BPA-Free.
Hot Fill
Parker Plastics has heat set equipment and can produce Hot Fill plastic bottles in three of our manufacturing facilities. Our focus is strictly on developing and bringing to market new, custom containers capable of withstanding 200F fill temperatures. We do not offer any “stock” bottles at this time.
Our custom molding platform will allow you to bring something new to the industry while differentiating your product with unique design and aesthetics for the shelf and for your customers.
