PP, PS & HIPS Sheets and Plates

Polypropylene, polystyrene and HIPS sheet for thermoforming and fabrication, in natural, white and colours — with recycled-content options on request.

PP · PS · HIPS0.3–5 mmRecycled options

Beyond PET, Turkish extruders run deep PP and styrenic sheet capacity. We supply PP sheet for industrial thermoforming and fabrication, and HIPS for print, display and packaging applications. Recycled-content grades are available where the application allows, each with a batch declaration. Formats run from thin-gauge thermoforming rolls to cut sheets and thick plates; colour matching to RAL or a physical sample is standard practice.

Applications & end markets

Fabricators and formers buy these sheets for:

  • Industrial thermoforming — trays, dunnage, returnable transport packaging
  • HIPS print and display — POS, signage, vacuum-formed lettering
  • Food packaging (with DoC): dairy pots, lids
  • Fabrication: tanks, guards, liners cut and welded from PP plate
  • Stationery and luggage components

Frequently asked questions

Can you match a specific colour?
Yes — send a RAL reference or a physical countersample. The extruder produces a colour chip for approval before the production run, and the approved chip is retained with the order file. Metallic and fluorescent shades need a feasibility check first; standard opaque colours match within one working delta-E for most applications.
Do you supply food-contact PP or HIPS?
Yes, from lines running food-contact-compliant materials with a Declaration of Compliance covering the stated conditions of use. Specify food contact at enquiry stage: it determines resin selection, masterbatch and the documentation pack. Recycled content in food-contact styrenics is not generally permitted, so those grades are virgin-based — we will not blur that line.
What is the minimum order for a custom colour or gauge?
A production run is typically one full truck (about 22 tonnes) per colour and gauge. Smaller trial quantities can sometimes ride along with a compatible run — ask, and we will schedule around the extruder's campaign plan. Standard natural and white are held closer to stock and move faster.
Roll or cut sheet — which should I order?
Inline thermoformers take rolls (state core, OD and max weight). Sheet-fed machines and fabricators take cut sheets or plates — state your bed size and stacking limit. Cutting tolerance is ±2 mm standard; tighter on request. Plates above 2 mm ship on flat pallets with edge protection.
