What is PET Plastic Packaging?

PET plastic packaging refers to packaging made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET or PETE), identified by the resin identification code #1. It's one of the most common, versatile, and recyclable plastics used globally, especially for food, beverage, and consumer goods packaging.

PET Material Characteristics

High transparency: PET plastic packaging boxes have excellent transparency, and their light transmittance can usually reach more than 90%. They can clearly display the products in the packaging, allowing consumers to intuitively see the appearance, color, texture and other details of the goods. They are particularly suitable for industries such as food, cosmetics, and electronic products that need to display product features.

Excellent mechanical properties: PET materials have high strength and toughness, can withstand certain pressure, impact and stretching, are not easy to break or deform, and can effectively protect the items in the package from damage during transportation, storage and sales.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many solvents and doesn't react with food or beverages.

Barrier Properties: Provides a good barrier against moisture, gases (like CO2), and aromas, helping preserve freshness and carbonation (crucial for sodas).

Lightweight and easy to carry: Compared with packaging materials such as glass and metal, PET plastic packaging boxes are light in weight, easy to carry and transport, and can reduce logistics costs.

Environmentally friendly and recyclable: PET plastic is a recyclable material. Recycled PET can be processed and remade into new plastic products, such as fibers, packaging materials, etc., which helps to reduce resource waste and environmental pollution.

PET plastic packaging has many excellent properties and is widely used in various packaging fields.

Food packaging: PET plastic packaging boxes are widely used in the food industry and can be used to package various foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, cakes, candies, etc.

Cosmetic packaging: Many cosmetic brands choose PET plastic packaging boxes to package skin care products, makeup and other products.

Electronic product packaging: In the field of electronic products, PET plastic packaging boxes can be used to package mobile phone accessories, headphones, mobile power supplies and other products.

Pharmaceutical packaging: PET plastic is also used for the packaging of some pharmaceutical products, such as blister packaging of medicines, reagent bottles, etc.
