Bending and forming
With heat bending the corners stay flat with no whitening - ideal for folding boxes, corner protectors and structural parts.
PET / PETG
Outstanding toughness - bends without cracking and thermoforms with ease.
PET/PETG sheet combines clarity and impact resistance, bends and cuts without cracking, and thermoforms reliably - ideal for printed packaging, thermoformed boxes, display items and clear parts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about PET sheet
What is the difference between PET and PETG?
PET is commonly used for packaging and slitting; PETG is easier to thermoform, bend and bond. The right choice depends on forming depth, printing method and operating environment - send us your drawing and we will advise.
Can PET sheet be used for food contact?
Food-contact grades are available; the end use and applicable test requirements need to be confirmed so we can verify the material certificates.
Can you make semi-finished parts for printing or folding boxes?
Yes. We can supply sheet and provide bending, die-cutting and thermoforming as supporting processes. Send your drawing or sample, quantity and lead time for a quotation.
Can clarity and thickness be customised?
Transparent, translucent and coloured sheets in various thicknesses are available. Tell us the finished dimensions and application and we will recommend a suitable specification.
