Polyester PETG
Looking for a material that is virtually unbreakable yet effortless to fabricate? PETG sheets in our sheet materials portfolio are particularly popular for their outstanding impact toughness and chemical resistance. Whether you are building a protective machine guard or a bespoke advertising display, at our facility in Zlín we will prepare them cut precisely to the millimeter.

PETG is a plate material that can be used in both the exterior and the interior. We offer both clear and opal design. We offer opal designs with a thickness of 3 to 4 mm in dimension.
Extruded PETG boards offer many choices to designers and manufacturers, from simple shapes to the most complex (where they do not lose any of their strength). PETG is easy to mold and does not require drying before processing (unlike other conventional materials), which reduces costs and shortens the time required for molding.
+ This material allows thinner plates to be used for the same purpose than other conventional plastics - another way to save material costs.
PETG material meets hygienic requirements and can be used in direct contact with food. Exceptions are UV Grade boards that are not designed for direct contact with food.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Why is PETG better than standard plexiglass?
PETG is much more impact-resistant and practically does not crack under mechanical stress. While plexiglass can be brittle when cut or drilled, PETG retains its toughness. It serves as a great "golden middle ground" between plexiglass and expensive polycarbonate—giving you top-tier durability at a very reasonable price.
Can I use PETG sheets for food contact?
Yes, that is one of their biggest advantages. PETG is a chemically stable material commonly used in the food and medical industries. If you are manufacturing food dispensers, display racks, or covers in commercial kitchens, this polyester is an ideal choice because it does not release any harmful substances into its surroundings.
What about cold-bending PETG?
This is where PETG truly excels. Unlike other transparent plastics, you can cold-bend it without creating an unsightly white stress line (known as "blushing") or cracking the material. Thanks to this property, it is perfect for various price tag rails, holders, and protective elements with sharp bends.
Can I easily machine PETG sheets at home?
Definitely. PETG cuts, drills, and mills exceptionally well. A standard fine-toothed saw is sufficient for a clean cut, and you don't have to worry about the sheet cracking under your hands while drilling. However, if you want guaranteed perfectly straight edges, it's best to have the material custom-sized directly by us in Zlín to meet your exact needs.
