Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Expanding Food Packaging Sector
Saudi Arabia is one of the largest food importers and distributors in the Middle East. With increasing demand for safe, hygienic, and sustainable packaging, manufacturers in the region are seeking reliable materials for thermoforming applications.

Why PET for Fruit and Vegetable Trays?
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has become the preferred material for food packaging, especially for fresh produce trays, due to its unique balance of performance and sustainability:
- PET offers superior clarity compared to PP or PS, showcasing fruits and vegetables attractively in retail displays.
- It has excellent barrier properties, extending shelf life by protecting produce from moisture and contamination.
- PET trays are lightweight yet strong, reducing logistics costs without compromising safety.
- Most importantly, PET is recyclable within widely established recycling streams, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s growing focus on sustainable packaging solutions.
By choosing PET sheets from DESU, manufacturers ensure they are investing in a material that supports both functional needs and environmental responsibility.
