Flexible Film & Pouches Financing
Flexible film and pouch manufacturers buy resin and film up front, run printing, laminating, and converting, and wait 60–90 days for CPG and brand buyers. Factoring against CPG receivables, PO financing on resin, and equipment loans keep converting lines running.
You're buying resin and finished film, running printing, laminating, slitting, and pouch converting, and shipping to CPG brands and private-label buyers who pay 60–90 days later. Resin is the biggest swing in your cost stack.
Your CPG and brand-owner receivables are strong, slow credits. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next resin buy and converting run isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding.
We work with lenders who understand flexible packaging, resin volatility, and the difference between commodity and high-barrier structures. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on resin, and equipment financing for presses and pouch machines.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Flexible Film & Pouches files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / CPG list and aged AR
Brand-owner and private-label concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. CPG buyers underwrite tightly.
Resin / film supplier detail (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your resin, film, ink, and adhesive suppliers directly against a confirmed order. We need PO copies and supplier bank details up front.
Trailing 12 months of financials and resin-cost exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and resin as % of COGS. Resin pass-through clauses in customer contracts help.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Flexo presses, laminators, slitters, pouch and bag machines finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Quality system status (ISO 9001 / FSSC for food-contact)
ISO 9001 is baseline; FSSC 22000 or SQF for food-contact film. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.
Inventory and finished-goods detail
Lenders check finished-goods turnover. Slow-moving custom film inventory may be excluded from an ABL borrowing base.
