Overview

Clear APET Sheets for Forming & Conversion

AVI Global Plast manufactures APET sheets for thermoforming, blister packaging, boxes, printing and binding applications. Clarity, gloss, stiffness and impact resistance support product presentation and rigid packaging, with finish and treatment options to suit different processes.

Manufactured at our Daman facility, our APET offering includes custom-cut sheets and specialised grades for hot-fill, cold-storage and anti-fog requirements. In-house extrusion, tooling and thermoforming capabilities support customers from material selection through packaging development.

Material Fit

Is APET right for your process?

Thermoforming

For clamshells, punnets and trays requiring clarity, stiffness and forming performance. Discuss draw depth, tooling, processing conditions and closure requirements with AVI's team.

Box & Display Packaging

For transparent windows, display packaging and converted boxes. Custom-cut sheets and surface options can be selected around the pack dimensions, presentation and assembly process.

Printing & Binding

For offset printing, printed panels and document covers. Specify sheet dimensions, finish, masking and surface treatment to suit the printing or binding process.

Food Packaging

For food-packaging applications requiring an appropriate material grade. Discuss food type, filling temperature, storage conditions and the applicable food-contact documentation.

Medical Packaging

For selected applications requiring grade-specific qualification. Contact AVI's team to discuss the material specification and documentation for your intended use.
