High Impact Polystyrene (HIPs) is one of the most used plastic materials in the world. The reason for this is because HIPs is highly versatile. It is ideal for packaging fragile products as it is extremely strong and offers excellent product protection and resistance to impact, whilst still being lightweight, making it easy to transport.
It is a very popular choice for food packaging applications as this material is compatible with processes that allow for colour customisation. With HIPs being available in any colour and a variety of finishes, it is the best choice when customisation is required to make a product stand out from the rest. It is widely used in this industry because of its strength, hygiene, visual appearance, and ability to retain heat well while also not deforming.
In recent years, more and more people worry about the environmental impact of using plastic products. For manufacturers looking to reduce their carbon footprint, HIPs is the perfect choice, as it is 100% recyclable plastic. HIPs is a type of thermoplastic that can be reshaped many times using heat, and so it can be recycled into a wide variety of applications.
