PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a strong, lightweight plastic known for its excellent barrier properties. It protects your product from external influences such as oxygen and moisture. At PouchDirect, we use it in multi-layer laminates to guarantee the freshness and quality of your product. Questions? Feel free to contact us!

PET itself is not sealable. That is why we combine it with an inner layer of, for example, Polyethylene (PE). This creates a "laminate" that provides the strength of PET on the outside and a perfect airtight seal on the inside. Are you looking for the best balance for your product? Give us a call!

Absolutely. PET is highly resistant to fats, oils, and liquids. This makes it a safe and reliable choice for both food (such as sauces) and non-food products (such as cosmetics). Want to know if it matches your product? Our specialists are happy to advise you.

PET stand-up pouches are extremely lightweight, which significantly reduces CO2 emissions during transport compared to glass or tin. Although multi-layer laminates are more challenging to recycle, we are working hard on innovations. Are you looking for a fully recyclable option? Take a look at our range of mono-material pouches.

Yes, we highly recommend it! You can request free samples of all our materials, including the various PET variations such as METPET. This allows you to test the strength and barrier properties with your own product. Request your samples here!
