About PETG

Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, or PETG, is a clear thermoplastic that can be formed into a number of shapes, making it suitable for use in a broad range of applications. PETG is easy to fabricate, heat-bend, and thermoform, making it well-suited to retail display applications. Primarily used in indoor applications, it can also be printed or painted for graphics applications.

PETG falls between acrylic and polycarbonate on the scale of impact resistance, with higher impact resistance than acrylic, but lower resistance than polycarbonate. It also meets FDA requirements for food contact and is available in thin semi-rigid gauges, as well as thicker gauge rigid sheets.
