Colorant and masterbatch
Color packages, functional additives, and brand shade control for films, bottles, caps, and injection molded packaging components.
Color match | UV option | Food-contact path
Berry Global material programs
Berry Global — Engineer faster decisions for rubber tape, plastic adhesive, foam, film, and polymer applications.
Berry Global supports sourcing teams that need practical product shortlists, application evidence, sample planning, and documentation for elastomer, plastic processing, packaging, and resin-adjacent projects without turning every RFQ into a blind catalog search.
Comparison framework
Two common Berry Global material paths, one disciplined review.
The table helps teams compare adhesive and elastomer decisions using measurable conditions before asking for samples.
| Decision point | Acrylic foam / adhesive path | Rubber / silicone path |
|---|---|---|
| Typical need | Bonding trim, plastic repair, signage, electronics attachment | Electrical insulation, splicing, sealing, cushioning, marine joints |
| Key inputs | Surface energy, dwell time, thickness, peel target | Durometer, compression set, temperature, fluid exposure |
| Risk signal | Low surface energy plastic or contaminated paint | Oil, ozone, UV, steam, or repeated flexing |
| Evidence requested | Adhesion method, substrate list, aging notes | Material data, compatibility notes, installation conditions |
| Trial output | Bond line recommendation and conversion notes | Seal, tape, or rubber component shortlist |
Working families
Plastic processing and packaging options in one review path.
TPE and specialty compounds
Flexible material programs for closures, grips, seals, and consumer packaging features that need consistent feel and processing windows.
Durometer | Tensile | Compression set
Packaging film and sheet support
Material recommendations for film, sheet, and thermoformed package structures where clarity, stiffness, and recyclability must stay balanced.
Barrier | Clarity | PCR strategy
Connected grade review
Every resin recommendation starts with process, property and documentation context.
01
Engineering thermoplastics selection
Polycarbonate, ABS, PC blends and specialty resin requests are reviewed against impact, optical clarity, dimensional stability, flame performance and downstream finishing requirements.
02
Processing-window alignment
Injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming and sheet conversion conversations include melt flow, shrinkage, color package, regrind practice and expected lot-to-lot control.
03
Documentation before sample chaos
Datasheets, declarations, food-contact questions, customer restricted substance lists and distributor paperwork are mapped early, giving buyers a cleaner route from material shortlist to production qualification.
