PETG Blister Insert
Key Features:
Similar to PET blister plastic, Glycol-modified PET blister plastic is a transparent and highly recyclable material. PETG has a softer feel, is far less brittle, and has excellent heat and electric insulation, making it a popular choice for packaging food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
- Lightweight and durable
- Recyclable
- Popular for packaging food and pharmaceutical products
Overview
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) is a popular thermoplastic polyester that provides notable durability, formability and recyclability. PETG plastic is a form of PET plastic with added glycol. The chemical properties of PETG offer a smoother finish that is far less brittle than your traditional PET plastic box inserts. PETG plastic box inserts are easily vacuum-sealed, making them a popular choice for packaging food and pharmaceuticals. PETG's sturdy properties are well suited for processes such as die-cutting, routing, or bending into any custom shape.
| Plastic Blister Comparison | Density (kg/cm³) | Properties | Available Colors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene (PP) | 0.90 - 0.92 g/cm³ | Semi- rigid, lightweight with non-glossy finish | Clear, or any panton color |
| High Impact Polystyrene Plastic (HIPS) | 0.94 - 0.96 g/cm³ | Stong, semi-rigid and flexible | Natural, Black, or any panton color |
| Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) | 1.04 - 1.23 g/cm³ | Soft and less brittle than PET | Clear |
| Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) | 1.32 - 1.42 g/cm³ | Stong, semi-rigid with glossy finish | Clear, or any panton color |
| Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) | 1.35 - 1.38 g/cm³ | Stong, semi-rigid and lightweight | Clear, Frosted, White, or any panton color |
