Blown Film & Extrusion Financing

Extrusion and blown film manufacturers buy resin by the railcar, run lines continuously, and wait on converters and brand owners. Factoring against converter receivables, PO financing on resin, and equipment loans for the next line keep throughput steady.

You're buying resin by railcar or bulk truck, running blown film, cast film, sheet, or profile lines around the clock, and shipping to converters, brand owners, and distributors who pay 30–90 days later. Resin is the single biggest swing in your cost stack.

That continuous-run economics model is exactly what factoring and PO financing are built for — your converter receivables are solid credits, they just pay slowly, and resin has to be bought now.

We work with lenders who understand extrusion throughput, resin buying, and the difference between film, sheet, and profile. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on bulk resin, and equipment financing for the next extruder or winder.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Blown Film & Extrusion files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Top-customer / converter list and aged AR

    Brand-owner and converter concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Resin price pass-through clauses in contracts help.

  • Resin supplier and bulk-buy detail (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your resin and additive suppliers directly against a confirmed order. Railcar and silo buys need supplier and freight detail up front.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials and resin-cost exposure

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and resin as % of COGS. Long-term resin contracts and hedging disclosure matter.

  • Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)

    Extruders, blown film dies, winders, sheet lines, profile lines, and reclaim equipment finance cleanly — new and used.

  • Quality system status (ISO 9001 / FSSC for food-contact)

    Food-contact film needs FSSC 22000 or SQF; ISO 9001 is baseline. FDA food-contact status doesn't disqualify — buyer credit matters more.

  • Inventory and finished-goods detail

    Lenders check finished-goods turnover. Slow-moving custom film inventory may be excluded from an ABL borrowing base.
