In today’s competitive food packaging industry, visual clarity and freshness presentation play a decisive role in consumer trust. Condensation or “fogging” on packaging surfaces often blurs product visibility and gives the impression of poor quality. To solve this issue, anti-fog PET plastic sheet has become an increasingly popular material for thermoformed trays, salad lids, bakery clamshells, and ready-meal packaging.
Anti-fog PET sheet for food packaging
Anti-fog PET sheet is a transparent polyester plastic sheet that has been specially treated to prevent fogging on its surface.
At DESU Plastic, we specialize in producing high-performance PET, APET, RPET, GAG, and anti-fog PET sheets designed specifically for thermoforming food packaging.
Thickness: 0.18mm – 1.7mm
Width: 250 -1400mm
Color: Transparent, customized
Food Grade Certification: FDA, SGS, EU Approved
What Is Anti-fog PET Sheet?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is widely recognized for its excellent transparency, toughness, and recyclability. When treated with a specialized anti-fog coating or additive, the PET sheet gains the ability to prevent moisture condensation on the surface. This anti-fog PET sheet ensures that the inside of the package remains clear, even when exposed to temperature differences between storage and display.
The anti-fog effect is achieved by modifying the sheet’s surface tension. Instead of forming water droplets, the moisture spreads evenly into a transparent layer. This simple yet effective mechanism allows packaged food to stay visually appealing—critical for fresh fruits, vegetables, chilled desserts, and ready-to-eat meals.

Benefits of Using Anti-fog PET Plastic Sheet in Food Packaging
- Crystal-clear visibility – Enhances product presentation and consumer confidence.
- Improved shelf life – Reduces condensation that can lead to microbial growth.
- Food safety compliance – PET materials are non-toxic, odorless, and compliant with FDA and EU food contact standards.
- Sustainability – 100% recyclable, aligning with global trends toward eco-friendly packaging.
- Thermoforming compatibility – Suitable for both high-speed vacuum forming and automatic sealing lines.
Because of these advantages, anti-fog PET plastic sheet is increasingly replacing PVC and PS in the global food packaging market. It offers not only superior optical performance but also better environmental responsibility.
Applications in the Food Industry
Anti-fog PET sheets are particularly ideal for packaging applications such as:
- Fresh produce trays and lids
- Salad bowls and clamshell containers
- Bakery and dessert packaging
- Cold-cut and dairy trays
- Ready-meal and microwaveable packaging
Whether for chilled or heated products, PET’s high impact strength and thermal stability ensure reliable performance during both forming and sealing.
