What Is PET-G?

PET‑G (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) is a clear, durable thermoplastic prized for:

Glass-like transparency
Excellent impact & chemical resistance
Easy thermoforming, bending, routing
Food-grade safety & recyclability

Common Applications

Retail & POS Displays – Lightweight signage, merchandisers
Protective Shields & Guards – Barriers, sneeze guards
Thermoformed Parts – Vending panels, custom covers
Medical & Food Packaging – FDA/EU compliant, sterilizable
3D Printing Filaments – Prototypes, tooling
Industrial Components – Enclosures, connectors
Architectural/Decor – Kiosk partitions, panels
