What’s it made from? – Plastic … well, plastic is really a generic because PET provides the robust and visually stimulating solution, part of it at least.

PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a mouthful but an invaluable product. It’s a plastic resin and a form of polyester. For you techies out there, polyethylene terephthalate is a polymer that is formed by combining two monomers: modified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid.

Manufacturers use PET plastic to package products because of its strength, thermo-stability and transparency. And customers choose PET because it is inexpensive, lightweight, re-sealable and shatter-resistant.

Here’s an example of the quality of branding and the detailed printing of crucial sales information – specifications, directions for use, safety notices etc.:

Boxes are manufactured, overprinted and supplied flat. Die-cut tongues fold into place as the package is literally and simply squeezed together. The product is enclosed and the top pressed to. The protruding ‘euro-slot’ is ready to hang on euro hooks at the point of display supporting smart, simple merchandising.

In schools, gold stars are out and tokens proudly displayed in clear plastic tubes reflect quiet competition and tell all who's king (or more likely queen) of the class this term.

Sharps, such as drill bits or felting needles are kept safe in their plastic jackets, yet visible for easy selection in their clear plastic coat.
