Why is pet plastic sheet widely used in the food packaging industry?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic sheets are widely used in the food industry as they meet the stringent requirements of food contact applications. These PET plastic sheets are considered safe and suitable for packaging a variety of food products while ensuring the freshness and quality of the packaged items.

Advantage of PET plastic sheet

Here are some key reasons why PET plastic sheets are commonly used in the food industry:

1. Food grade compliance.

PET plastic sheets are manufactured to meet specific food-grade standards and regulations. They are rigorously tested to ensure that they are safe for direct food contact without causing any contamination or health hazards.

2. Non-toxic and non-reactive.

PET plastic sheet is a non-toxic and non-reactive material. It does not release harmful substances into packaged food, nor does it alter its taste, odor or quality. This property ensures the integrity and safety of food during storage and transport.

3. Barrier properties.

PET plastic sheets have excellent barrier properties and act as a protective barrier against moisture, oxygen and other external pollutants. This helps maintain the freshness, flavor and quality of packaged foods, extending their shelf life.

4. Transparency.

PET plastic sheet has high transparency, consumers can easily see the contents of the package. This is especially beneficial for products that rely on visual appeal or require clear visibility, such as fruit, salads, baked goods and delicatessen.

5. Durability and strength.

PET plastic sheets are known for their durability and mechanical strength. They can withstand the rigors of handling, shipping and storage without compromising the integrity of the package or the safety of the food inside.

6. Easy to process.

PET plastic sheets can be easily thermoformed and processed into various shapes and sizes, making them highly versatile for different food packaging requirements. They can be efficiently molded into trays, containers, clamshells and other shapes for specific food products.

7. Light weight.

When the PET plastic sheet protects the packaged food, it does not increase the excessive weight of the product, and the overall transportation cost is reduced.

8. Environmental protection.

PET plastic sheet is recyclable, and used products can be recycled and reused, which not only saves the manufacturer’s cost, but also protects the environment, so it is a product with high economic benefits.
