DPET? from OCTAL for personal hygiene packaging

 With many global switching to PET because it is one of the best packaging choices for retail applications such as toothbrush holders due to its superior properties, OCTAL has developed solutions to provide packaging companies with its high performance DPET?. According to Joe Barenberg, COO, OCTAL: “the growing preference of DPET? sheet for global packaging is due in part to its ability to run on thermoforming equipment already being used for PVC, HIPS, and OPS with only minor modifications of hardware and processing parameters. This is key because costly additional equipment purchases are not necessary. ” Though proprietary process-control software and hardware, OCTAL delivers a high roll-to-roll uniformity and a typical caliper variation of approximately 1% (lower than other PET sheet options). This enables thermoformers to down-gauge, thereby using less overall material in the final tray. Consequently, manufacturers of personal care products have been able to reduce costs by ordering thinner gauge sheet while knowing exactly how much packaging they can manufacture from the material they buy.
