Rigid PET films

Klöckner Pentaplast has partnered with Packaging 2.0 LLC to introduce SmartCycle rigid PET films. Made from recycled plastic beverage bottles and designed to help meet packaging sustainability goals, SmartCycle films are used for general-purpose, food and all-plastic box packaging applications.

SmartCycle PET films offer a range of products with a minimum guaranteed level of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic bottle content. These films comply with all applicable EU regulations and directives for direct food contact, as well as the requirements for recycled plastic materials used in food contact packaging.

Pentaform SmartCycle Films are suitable for general thermoforming applications such as trays, surface-sealed blisters, clamshells and other containers. The films provide good denesting and processing capabilities on standard thermoforming equipment. These films are available in transparent as well as custom opaque colours. As with all Pentaform films, this film offers high optical clarity and toughness for product protection and shelf appeal.

Pentafood SmartCycle Films for food packaging trays and blisters are available in mono- and multi-layer structures to meet barrier and sealing requirements for food packaging. The PET mono film is engineered with good thermoforming properties and is suitable for food packaging applications that do not require enhanced barrier or sealing properties.

Pentafood kpseal SmartCycle (PET/PE) and Pentafood kpbar SmartCycle (PET/EVOH/PE) are designed to provide enhanced sealing characteristics and high barrier performance for form/fill/seal packaging and modified atmosphere packaging. These films provide good sealability, even through contaminants, with a wide range of permanent, peelable, or easy-peel sealant options. Pentafood kpseal SmartCycle and Pentafood kpbar SmartCycle films provide a barrier for moisture, gases and aromas while maintaining food safety and hygiene, and extending product shelf life.
