CPET packaging handles -40°F to 420°F and is perfect for freezer-to-oven meals.  Made with special thermoforming tools and processing, it keeps its shape and blocks oxygen, water, and grease.  Recycling is a challenge, but new CPET Light and TPET offer clearer, greener options.  Use CPET for extreme temps; choose alternatives for moderate heat needs.  First […]

PET Packaging Boosts Visibility: Crystal-clear PET packaging enhances product appeal, improves sales, and simplifies inventory management, lowering handling costs.  Extends Shelf Life: PET’s strong oxygen barrier keeps products fresh longer than packaging with lower barrier properties such as paper or polystyrene, reducing waste compared to other materials.  Sustainable & Adaptable: PET has a robust recycling […]

Bio-based doesn’t mean biodegradable — and many don’t break down at all. No one-size-fits-all — your best option depends on product needs and local systems. You’re standing in your office, staring at samples […]

OPS packaging is disappearing from shelves due to limited recyclability, heat sensitivity, and shrinking supply — despite its clarity and low cost. PET took the lead with better durability, barrier properties, and widespread recyclability, making it the go-to for modern food packaging. Sustainability matters: OPS (#6) has little recycling support, while PET (#1) aligns with […]
