Dallas Plastics has successfully been certified ISO 9001:2015 for both Mesquite, TX and Longview, TX sites.
The capability of film extrusions and co-extrusions is crucial in today’s manufacturing landscape because it allows for the production of versatile, high-performance films that cater to a wide array of industry needs.
These processes enable the incorporation of multiple layers of different materials, each contributing unique properties such as enhanced strength, improved barrier functions against moisture and gases, and tailored flexibility or rigidity.
Dallas Plastics specializes in these processes by leveraging state-of-the-art technology and years of expertise to produce films that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Our focus on precision and quality assures clients that their products are fabricated to exact specifications, delivering optimal functionality and performance in every application.
Monolayer extrusion involves creating a single, uniform layer of material, typically used for simple packaging films or products.
Co-extrusion combines multiple layers of different materials into a single product, enhancing properties such as strength, barrier performance, and aesthetics.
We have the ability to design highly specialized films tailored to specific application needs using single or multiple material layers for desired properties such as strength, barrier protection, and flexibility.
Our optimized material usage and production processes reduce waste and help achieve precise product specifications economically.
With a team of highly skilled professionals who bring extensive industry knowledge to the table, Dallas Plastics offers unparalleled guidance throughout the product design and development stages.
Dallas Plastics is able to rapidly adjust manufacturing processes and innovate to meet changing market demands and technology advancements.
With access to the latest film technology, Dallas Plastics provides customers with a competitive advantage through superior film products that cater to a wide range of industries.

We create a detailed design proposal, and possibly a prototype, for your review. You’ll have the chance to test the sample, provide feedback, and approve the final product.
Full-scale production is carried out with stringent quality controls. You will be updated on progress, and once manufacturing is complete, the films are packaged and delivered.
Blown film extrusion is a manufacturing technique that produces thin plastic films by inflating a bubble of molten plastic.
An extruder is a machine used in the extrusion process that consists of a screw mechanism inside a barrel, which melts and pushes the plastic material through a die.
An extrusion die is a specialized tool used in the extrusion process to shape molten plastic as it is forced through, determining the profile and dimensions of the final product.
Co-extrusion is a process that combines multiple layers of different materials into a single film or profile, allowing each layer to contribute distinct properties such as barrier performance, strength, and aesthetics, resulting in a more functional and cost-effective product.
The basic steps of the extrusion process include feeding raw plastic material into the extruder, melting it within the heated barrel, pushing the molten plastic through the screw, and through the extrusion die. Next knives are used to alter the configuration of the film. Then film continues through the nips and is rolled on the core.
Quality control during the extrusion process is ensured through rigorous monitoring and testing at each stage, including precise temperature and pressure control, in-line measurement of film thickness and dimensions, and regular sampling for physical and visual inspections to ensure the final product meets defined specifications and industry standards.
