EEA countries are required by law to carry the CE mark on certain products (e.g., machinery, medical devices, toys, etc.). Our packaging only requires licensing when being used for packaging these types of items. On request, the CE mark can be printed on our packaging. You can find additional information about this under promotional labeling.

We use many different raw materials due to the diverse nature of our products. Generally, we designate one standard material or a small selection of standard materials per product group. Precise information is available on the respective product page or the respective data sheet.

The majority of our products are made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). To make it easier for you to select the best material, we summarizes below the main properties of these three materials.

PP (polypropylene)

• dimensionally stable up to +110 °C
• not resistant to cold
• resistant to weak acids, alkalis, alcohol, some oils and alkaline solutions
• not resistant to oxidants and hydrocarbons
• not suitable for heavy articles
• in the undyed state: “transparent” – translucent but cloudy

PE (polyethylene)

• cold-resistant
• resistant to acids, alkalis, saline solutions, alcohol, oil, gasoline
• not resistant to hydrocarbons
• robust, suitable for heavy articles
• in the undyed state: “natural” – milky white, not translucent

PVC (polyvinylchloride)

• robust and highly transparent
• high mechanical strength
• highly resistant to chemicals, resistant to most acids, alkalis, saline solutions
• in the undyed state: “clear” – highly transparent / crystal clear

At rose plastic, we have been actively looking at alternative materials for our plastic packaging for many years. Nowadays, a good packaging not only perfectly protects your product, but also our environment.
This is precisely why a large number of our products are now made from recycled material or bioplastic. And these protect just as reliably as their counterparts made from standard materials. In the following, we have summarized the most important properties of these materials.

PCR:

• plastic waste becomes valuable raw material and supports the circular economy with sustainable use of resources an significant savings of climate-damaging CO2
• the packaging may contain small, visible inclusions
• blow-molded articles have a slightly textured internal surface
• stress whitening is more pronounced with film hinges. Nevertheless, the hinges are functionally sound
• the packaging has a slight odor

Bio-HDPE:

• sugarcane already binds CO2 as it grows
• it is identical to conventionally manufactured packaging in terms of its appearance and use
• the organic HDPE we use is 100% recycable and can be returned to the material loop together with PE produced from fossil raw materials
• two quality seals prove that our sugarcane production and the rest of the supply chain meets strict quality requirements

No, because the different materials (PP, PE, PVC, etc.) each have a different shrinkage factor and the individual components may not fit together properly.

Our standard range consists of 21 colors, displayed on the adjacent color scale. Most of our polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) products are available in our standard colors with minimum order quantities.

We also offer our products made from recycled material in a range of standard colors. The color representation may differ from the above shades depending on the recycled raw material used. We are sure to find a solution for the perfect representation of your corporate design in combination with our sustainable recycled products. 

Note: Depending on your monitor settings, the actual colors may differ slightly. On request, we will gladly send you color samples in the material of your choice.

If you want to use a distinctive color for your packaging, you’ve come to the right place! We provide various options to customize the color of your ordered products.

• Simply choose your desired color from our standard range. Most of our packaging solutions are available in 21 attractive standard colors with certain minimum order quantities.
• In addition to the standard colors, we also offer our customers a range of special colors. However, these are only available with certain materials. Please note that packaging in special colors is subject to a surcharge.
• You can also request a customized color for your order. If you forward color information from a standardized color system (HKS, Pantone, RAL, etc.), or simply send us a color sample. We can create the packaging in your unique color, exclusively for you. This process requires additional time and effort and is therefore subject to additional costs.

No matter which solution you choose, we will be happy to fulfill your request.

Note: Packaging in specific colors generally involves longer delivery times as it is made to order.

The terms transparent, natural, and clear refer to the undyed state of various plastic materials.

• PVC (polyvinylchloride): “clear” – highly transparent / crystal clear
• PP (polypropylene): “transparent” – translucent but cloudy
• PE (polyethylene): “natural” – milky white, not translucent

A raw plastic granulate (PP / PE / PVC) is used in the production of plastic packaging. To dye the plastics, a color batch is added to the raw granules. Further additives can be used to give the packaging specific characteristics, such as UV stabilization or anti-static properties. Depending on the product, the following additives are possible for special production orders:

• UV additives prevent the material from being damaged by UV radiation. However, they do not prevent the container from being exposed to UV radiation.
• ESD additives prevent the packaging from undergoing harmful electrostatic charging and rapid discharging processes. You can choose between dissipative or conductive materials.
• VCI additives inhibit corrosion processes within the packaged goods, e.g. the formation of rust or patina.
• Laserbatches enable the plastics to be labeled via laser radiation.

Please contact our customer service team to discuss your specific requirements. We will be happy to advise you about the technical feasibility of your request.

No, our packaging is not marked with the “Green dot” recycling symbol. According to the German packaging ordinance (Deutsche Verpackungsverordnung), all sales packaging that is intended for end customers must be connected to a dual system of waste collection. However, packaging only becomes “sales packaging” when it is filled with goods. We sell our products exclusively to corporate customers from industry, trade, and commerce. As a result, we are not required to participate in a dual system for waste collection.

rose plastic offers an extensive variety of packaging products across more than 90 product groups and in numerous sizes, materials, and colors. Most of our packaging can be customized and refined at the customer’s request. You can find useful tips to help you find the perfect packaging here.

Yes – almost all our plastic packaging products are suitable for printing in one or more colors. Depending on the product, you can choose between screen printing, pad printing, thermal transfer printing, or digital printing. We will be happy to advise you about this – we will also create all necessary print templates based on your information or templates (logo, etc.). Subject to your prior approval, your packaging will be finished with your desired imprint at our in-house print shop.

As an alternative to printing, you can also order your packaging in a “laser-compatible” design. For this we use special plastic formulations that make it possible to add inscriptions, logos, etc. via lasering. On request, we can put you in touch with specialist companies that offer this service.

Almost all of our products provide a sufficiently large surface for imprints. Alternatively, you can attach your own label or tag to these areas.

Feel free to contact us for more information. Our customer service team will advise you about the various options we can offer you directly from a single source – with uncompromising quality and attractive prices.

1. In order to print on your packaging, we require the following information from you:

• Which product will be printed?
• The position of the print on the packaging
• The color based on a standardized color system (HKS, Pantone, RAL)
• The print layout (e.g., your company logo) as a vector file (file formats: EPS, AI, CDR)

2. Upon receipt of the documents, our print shop will check the feasibility and create a print proposal. We will send you the print proposal as a PDF file and finalize the details with you.

3. Following customer approval, the approved imprint will be applied to the packaging at our in-house print shop.

Unfortunately, we can’t answer this question on a flat-rate basis because printing costs vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the product, purchase quantity, and printing process. We would be happy to advise you regarding the printing options available and their associated costs.
