We will be running 1/4″ in an almond color in the next week…
If anyone is interested in this color, please call us and we can fit your order in at that time. You may order any thickness, it doesn’t need to be 1/4″.
Call for pricing, shipping costs and any questions- We would be glad to assist you!
Making colors is a specialty here at Sandhill Plastics. It’s a great way to spice up your project instead of using the customary white or black sheets. Minimum of 2000 lbs is required on colored orders.
Here’s how it works…
If you have additional questions, please call! 800-644-7141
National Plastics Color , located in Kansas is where the dye swatches are sent to be matched.

This blog is to write a big THANK YOU to all of our customers!
2010 has started off with a bang! We have many irons in the fire crackling at one time keeping us challenged and on our toes every day.
So far, we have exceeded expectations for sales in the first half of the month of January, we want to keep this pace up all year! Very humbled by the trust you have in Sandhill Plastics as your manufacturer, and thankful for the business!!
Overwhelming as it can be at times, we are more than happy and very pleased to work even harder to bring all customers our products with exceptional customer service and follow up.
Right now we are working on 3 different colored orders- all in beige and tan colors (must be the color of the year). The guys in the warehouse love to produce colors, it’s fun and it’s different from the everyday white and black we usually run.
Don’t forget we have Tyroc, (flooring) and Slat Savers (hog confinement) which are products we manufacture specifically for B-Jet and Wahoo Concrete. If you are interested, click the links for more on these products in on the partners page on our website.
Of course we have inventory of all the Plastic Sheeting goods in black or white, so order, order, order- we will be happy to assist you.
We look forward to continuing relationships and starting new ones in 2010!

Sandhill Plastics works hard to keep competitive with the trucking companies to get the lowest rate possible, allowing
our customers to receive product without breaking the bank. Starting Jan 1, 2010 most of the freight companies increased their shipping rates 5%.
We are still at an 85% discount with our 2 main companies, Estes Freight, and Con-way Trucking that we use regularly.
If you need a quote ahead of ordering, call us and we will be glad to assist you in getting the best rate.
Pricing is done by the pound and the distance traveled.
Feel free to use your own methods of pickup if you like. We accommodate the customer in any way we can.
Looking forward to getting some freight moved!
Let us explain the process of “closing the loop”
Plastic is recycled at local facilities from the general public (post-consumer), or it can be from rejected or scrap material from industries who use or make plastic, not intending to reuse that scrap (post-industrial).
Then, the plastic is taken from recycling facilities and made into bales or ground up in flakes and put into huge gaylord boxes (appx 1200 lbs) for shipping.
It arrives in truckload quantities to Sandhill Plastics and weighed.
It’s put into a washline with a hopper and washed clean and dried to prep for the extrusion process.
Now it’s ready for the extrusion process.
It’s put in the hopper of the extruder along with granules of dye to make the color for the sheets. Black usually doesn’t need any color added, white and other colors do.
We have a saw made as it comes down the line to cut to size. We are able to make up to 5′ wide sheets from a 1/16″ to 1/4″ thick. We can make the length as long as you like.
Let it cool overnight and it’s ready for shipment!
HDPE (do’s and don’ts) Did you know???
Needs to be fastened with a screw, plastic rivet, or nail
Cannot be glued, as there is expansion and contraction- this will break away from the plastic and not stick
Cannot be painted, for the same reason listed above
Very slick- shouldn’t walk on
Can be used as a dry erase board
Will color match any color desired
Extreme temperatures will not make the plastic crack or break
Very rigid, but not brittle
Thinner sizes are flexible
Okay for food areas and processing
Solid sheet- no fillers
100% recycled, thus doing our part to “COMPLETE THE LOOP”
There is no set use for HDPE sheets, you can use it for bird boxes to concrete forms to skateboard ramps to hog pens. It is a very universal product.
Can be cut as wood or drilled as wood
