Octal APET Sheet

Gauge Control Improves Yield and Productivity

Tighter tolerance delivers better productivity and predictability. Octal's own technology delivers sheet with a consistent and precise thickness. The Octal APET sheet displays a remarkable ±1% thickness tolerance — roll after roll; lot after lot. This level of control dramatically increases your yield and provides opportunities for down-gauging, enabling further savings without fear of thin spots causing product rejects.

Beyond Gauge Control

Beyond its tight gauge tolerances, Octal's APET sheet exhibits high levels of gloss and clarity — qualities that deliver impact where packagers need it — on the store shelf. Octal's APET sheet enhances the ability of the packaging to sell the product by presenting it in the brightest possible light.

Octal APET Sheet

Offers brands and retailers a cost-effective solution to presenting their products in the best possible light.

Is well suited for form-fill-seal applications, and is widely used for clamshells, cups and blister packs — a high growth packaging configuration for consumer products

Is becoming the material of choice in food applications where key barrier properties are needed.
