Polyester – PET
Available in Gloss, Matte and Satin

 

 

Gloss:  Excellent clarity and gloss; better scuff and scratch resistance than other films.  Also the best film for heat and chemical resistance.

Matte:  The matting agents are dispersed throughout the film and therefore offer much better scuff resistance.  It has a slightly higher gloss when compared to Matte OPP; and the Matte PET tends to make the darker colors appear “Milky” or washed out.

Satin:  A little glossier than the Matte PET; but with less distortion of the colors.  This is the most expensive of the matte films.

Most common applications:  Case bound books, POP displays and pocket folders.  Best for high demand, long-term applications.
