Narrow Web Flexible Packaging

Glenroy pioneered the first line of film-faced laminations designed for narrow web printers over 20 years ago. Now known as ExpressWeb films, Glenroy’s cost-effective surface printable flexible packaging materials set the standard for quality.
Our ExpressWeb surface printable flexible packaging films are:

  • Stocked and ready to ship within two to three business days. 
  • Manufactured with Glenroy’s state-of-the-art extrusion coating and laminating equipment.
  • Compatible with most solvent-based, water-based, and UV ink systems.
Most suppliers of narrow web films do not manufacture all of their own laminations, allowing for inconsistent performance and quality. But when you choose ExpressWeb, your flexible packaging material will run reliably on your presses and perform consistently in even the most challenging applications.

This adds up to reduced scrap rates, reduced downtime, and satisfied customers who trust your products.

“Our company has used Glenroy for many years and has always received great service and high-quality products. We love to work with Glenroy and will continue to work with Glenroy for many years to come.”
Production Manager – Lithotype Company, Inc.

“Glenroy has proven over time to be an outstanding supplier of high-quality film that is both consistent and predictable.”
