RETAL Baltic Films offers full mono solutions of APET rigid and top lidding films, with performance analysis for customers.
The decision to promote RETAL Baltic Films as a dedicated company with its own website coincides with its increased portfolio in flexible and rigid films, thanks to considerable investment at its Klaipeda, Lithuania location, including sales increasing by 100% over the last five years.
Viktorija Griziene, General Manager, RETAL Baltic Films, says, “RETAL has long been a well-known name in rigid packaging across the Baltic region, and we have been increasingly adding to our flexible film capabilities in recent years. Now, RETAL Baltic Films has our own website, and we can highlight how our place in the stable RETAL Group is perfectly complemented by our nimble approach to flexible film packaging development.”
RETAL Baltic Films will be participating at Fachpack, the European trade fair for companies that produce and use packaging, held in Nuremberg, Germany from 27 – 29 September, and Scanpack in Sweden from 4 – 7 October. The team of rigid and flexible film experts will be on hand to talk through its latest sustainable solutions for recyclable high barrier films in APET for top lidding and high barrier mono Form-Fill-Seal laminate, planned investments, and to share how the complete assessment of top lidding and bottom tray is of great value to customers.

This summer, RETAL is enjoying the opportunity to be a sponsor of a charity bike tour as 2,400 Team Rynkeby cyclists head to Paris to raise funds for seriously ill children.
The Team Rynkeby Nieder-Olm is participating in the challenging tour across Europe, starting in Nieder-Olm on July 16th and taking in seven daily stages, including the notorious ‘Mur de Huy’ in Belgium with a gradient up to 26%.
The participants will use their own energy and two wheels to cycle across Europe, from Nieder-Olm via Mosel, Cologne, Maastricht, Dinant, Saint-Quentin and Chantilly to the finish line in Paris.
This year, Team Rynkeby consists of 2,400 cyclists and 360 helpers, spread over 65 teams from nine countries. Over the past 20 years, Team Rynkeby has raised €75 million for seriously ill children.
All donations from the German Team Rynkeby Teams (Berlin, Flensburg, RheinRuhr & Nieder-Olm) go to the German Children’s Cancer Foundation, whose important work benefits children with cancer and which is financed in large part through sponsorship by charitable companies.
RETAL is proud to be a sponsor of the Team Rynkeby project.
R&D is an integral part of daily life for design engineer Andzejus Buinovskis. Buinovskis has worked at global plastic packaging manufacturer RETAL since 2015, bringing his creative design skills to his CAD-based role in the company’s R&D team at its largest facility in Lithuania. To demonstrate how R&D supports progress at RETAL, we share a day in the life of Buinovskis.
In terms of product development, Buinovskis acts as a pivotal point of contact between the sales team and the market, with his remit to translate the requirements of the customers into functional packaging solutions. A day in the life of Buinovskis reflects how design is integral to the ongoing development of packaging solutions at RETAL, including evolving tethered closure options, lightweighting and integrating environmental sustainability at every stage.
Buinovskis generally starts his day by checking what online meetings are scheduled to understand what new information may be forthcoming. A regular participant in meetings for various teams throughout the company, Buinovskis’s input is valued by the sales, NPD, communications and sustainability departments.
