PET is a highly durable and versatile film used extensively in packaging, especially for beverages, food products, and medical packaging. Its high clarity, strength, and barrier properties make it one of the most used packaging materials in various industries.

  • High clarity for enhanced product visibility
  • Strong and durable with good impact resistance
  • High stiffness and dimensional stability
  • Excellent resistance to moisture
  • Can be easily thermoformed

• Beverage bottles (water, soft drinks, etc.) • Food containers (e.g., trays, bowls) • Medical packaging • Consumer goods (e.g., cosmetics, cleaning products)
