PET cups are packaging containers made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through processes like injection molding and thermoforming. As a thermoplastic polyester material, PET features high transparency and environmental recyclability.
PET cups are packaging containers made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through processes like injection molding and thermoforming. As a thermoplastic polyester material, PET features high transparency and environmental recyclability. The PET cups formed after processing are widely applied in the packaging fields of beverages and food, especially suitable for holding cold drinks, fruit juices, milk tea, etc. They are one of the mainstream packaging choices in the modern catering and retail industries.
1.Physical Properties
● High Transparency: With a light transmittance of over 90%, PET material makes the cup crystal clear, clearly displaying the color and texture of beverages, and enhancing visual appeal.
● Strong Impact Resistance: It has good toughness, being drop-resistant and wear-resistant, not easy to break during transportation and use, ensuring packaging integrity.
● Temperature Resistance Characteristics: The short-term temperature resistance range is -20℃~60℃, suitable for holding cold drinks and room-temperature beverages. It is not recommended for high-temperature liquids (such as hot coffee and hot water) to avoid deformation.
2.Safety Performance
● Food-Grade Safety: Complies with international food contact material standards (such as FDA, GB 4806.6, etc.), non-toxic, odorless, and BPA-free, ensuring safety for direct contact with food and beverages.
● Barrier Performance: Has certain barrier properties against oxygen and water vapor, which can delay the oxidation and deterioration of beverages and extend the shelf life, especially suitable for products with gas barrier requirements such as carbonated drinks and fruit juices.
3.Processing Performance
● Diversified Molding: Supports processes like injection molding and blistering, and can be customized in different specifications (such as capacity 150ml~1000ml) and shapes (straight-tube cups, creative special-shaped cups) to meet personalized design needs.
● Printing Adaptability: With a smooth surface, it is easy to carry out processes such as screen printing, thermal transfer printing, and hot stamping. The printed graphics and texts are clear and durable, helping to display the brand image.
| Beverage Packaging | Milk tea cups, fruit juice cups, carbonated drink cups, cold coffee cups, etc |
| Food Packaging | Dessert cups, salad cups, jelly cups, instant food containers, etc |
| Retail and Promotion | Used for packaging co-branded beverages, festival-limited products, enhancing consumer attraction |
● Temperature Limitation: Forbidden to hold high-temperature liquids (exceeding 60℃) to prevent cup deformation or substance release, affecting usage safety.
● Storage Environment: Store in a dry and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight or humid environments, and prevent material aging and transparency degradation.
