CareClear-PP (PET/PE is a economical general use clear polyester based barrier material. The combination of Polyethylene Terephthalate and PE in the form of LLDPE provides strength and clarity in a heat sealable printable film. All while providing a economical price point.
Barrier Properties
The barrier properties of PET/PE are suitable form many applications and fall squarely in the mid-range of barrier films. CareClear-PP can provide sufficient barrier to keep many products fresh for the full shelf life expectancy.
Some applications not suitable for PET/PE would involve the requirement for light barrier, as PET/PE is a clear film, that even when printed will not prevent light exposure.
Note: The performance of any film will be influenced by a number of factors and testing must always be performed to ensure the film meets the use.
Oxygen Barrier
Moisture Barrier
Light Barrier
STrength
Heat Resistance
Freezer Storage
Customer Profile
PET/PE was a good candidate for this use.
The customer required a bag which could be printed with logos and graphics, but allowed the product inside to be seen by the consumer. The high clarity of PET/PE allowed the viewing window to built into the art.
Film Specifications
Transparent lamination of PET and LLDPE for use in a wide variety of packaging applications.
