Should You Select PET or PETG?

Learn about the differences and benefits of PET and PETG materials in our comprehensive guide! Whether it's for your next project or for general knowledge, this information will help you make an informed choice. Don't miss out on this valuable resource!

PET and PETG are similar materials, and both are equally easy to recycle, but they do have a few important differences. PET is less affected by UV light than PETG, and PET is highly scratch-resistant. Additionally, PET is an easier material to work with, so if you opt for PETG, you need to find a packaging supplier with a great deal of experience working with PETG plastic, such as KSUN.

Still, PETG can be an excellent choice for many packaging products. It’s more transparent than PET, which means it’s easier for consumers to see your product. PETG is more durable and impact-resistant than PET and it feels softer to the touch, which can appeal to consumers. It’s also highly chemical-resistant, more so than PET.
