PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) Thermoformed Transparent PET Sheet

PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) Thermoformed Transparent PET Sheet

Thermoforming is a widely used manufacturing process that uses heat and pressure to shape various materials, including plastics, into the desired form. One popular thermoforming material is transparent PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) sheet.

In the packaging industry, thermoformed PET is a versatile and reliable process that can shape raw materials into excellent packaging solutions. At Wallis, we take pride in providing high-quality PET thermoformed products that exceed industry standards and meet our customers' ever-changing needs.
1. Introduction
Transparent PET thermoformed sheet has many advantages in various industries due to its excellent transparency, strength, and versatility. We will explore the characteristics, advantages, applications, manufacturing process, and other aspects of high-quality thermoformed transparent PET sheet.

2. What is PET thermoforming?

Hot forming is a manufacturing process that involves heating plastic sheets until they become pliable, then shaping them into the desired form using a mold. The process can be divided into three main types: vacuum forming, pressure forming, and dual-sheet forming. Hot forming is an economical and efficient way to produce high-quality plastic products.
What makes PET different?
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the core material in hot forming, known for its transparency, strength, and recyclability. These characteristics make PET an ideal choice for packaging solutions, which not only showcase the contents but also ensure durability and environmental friendliness.

Revealing the PET Thermoforming Sheet Process
Our advanced thermoforming process involves heating PET sheets until they become pliable, shaping them in a mold, and then cooling to form the desired shape. This method allows us to produce complex designs and custom packaging solutions according to your specifications.
3. How is Transparent PET Thermoforming Sheet Film Manufactured?

The manufacturing process of transparent PET sheet film involves several stages:
Material selection: Choosing high-quality PET resin ensures the desired characteristics, such as transparency, strength, and heat resistance.
Extrusion: The PET resin is melted and extruded into thin sheets. This process ensures the uniformity and consistency of the sheet thickness and quality.
Cooling: The extruded sheet is quickly cooled to solidify and improve its dimensional stability.
Winding: The cooled sheet is wound into rolls for convenient storage and transportation.
