The Best Places to Buy Metallized PET Sheet Custom Online and In-Store

The Versatile Wonder

The term "polyester" most commonly refers to the polymer polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. For over 30 years, polyester has been the go-to commodity film for many everyday products. It serves as an excellent multipurpose film due to its high mechanical strength, durability, heat tolerance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. Polyester can be found in fabrics, high-quality wooden products, food and beverage containers, and as insulation for cushions and pillows. You may have heard of the brand name Mylar® used generically to describe plastic film, but Mylar® is actually a specific brand of polyester sheets and film.
