How to choose the right plastic for your thermoforming packaging？

PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) can also be called polyester. PET has excellent strength, toughness, dimensional stability, transparency and abrasion resistance. PET is fast becoming the material of choice due to its ease of recycling and widespread use in the food and beverage industry. Jiaou supports our partners' green initiatives and offers rPET with up to 100% post-consumer recycled content for custom thermoforming applications. PET can be identified by the #1 recycling symbol.
PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) is similar in properties to PET and is known for its toughness, clarity, versatility and ease of use. The glycol modified form of PET gives the material better impact resistance and is often used in medical applications where EtO and gamma sterilization are required. PETG can be used as an alternative to PVC when RF sealing is required. PETG is also identified by the #1 recycling symbol.
