PET BENEFITS
- 1. - High Mechanical Resistance
- 2. - Shine and Transparency
- 3. - Barrier against CO2 and other gases
- 4. - Good slippage coefficient
- 5. - Light
- 6. - Odorless and flavorless
- 7. - 100 % Recyclable
Compared Advantages: PET vs. Glass Packaging
1. - Lightweight: the weight of a PET container compared to a glass container saves
shipping costs due to its lighter weight, which in turn, allows for more product
quantity to be shipped at less expense.
2. - Safety: The handling of PET packaging is much safer than that of glass
containers since there is no possible breakage involved. This represents a great
advantage in food packaging; the risk of production line breakage is eliminated.
3. - Reduced handling losses, whether on the production line or during transport to
distribution locations.
4. - UV ray resistance additives can be added without affecting food packaging
transparency or functionality
