In the modern food packaging industry, clarity and freshness are everything.
When a consumer opens a refrigerator or display shelf, the first impression comes from how clear and appealing the packaging looks.
That’s why anti-fog PET sheet has become one of the most important materials for thermoformed food containers and lids.
What Is Anti-Fog PET Sheet?
Anti-fog PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) sheet is a transparent plastic sheet specially treated to prevent fog or condensation from forming on its surface.
Fog usually appears when warm, moist air contacts a cold surface — such as refrigerated food packaging.
With an anti-fog coating or co-extruded layer, DESU’s PET sheets maintain excellent clarity even under cold or humid conditions.
Main features include:
- Crystal clear transparency
- Permanent or durable anti-fog performance
- High stiffness and impact resistance
- Certified for direct food contact
- Ideal for thermoforming and vacuum forming
Why Is It Important in Food Packaging?
Fogging not only reduces visibility but also affects consumer perception.
Imagine a fruit cup or salad container covered with mist — customers may think it’s “old” or “wet.”
By using anti-fog PET sheet, packaging manufacturers can:
- Keep food visually fresh and appetizing
- Improve shelf presentation and sales appeal
- Enhance brand reputation
- Reduce product waste due to poor appearance
That’s why anti-fog PET is now widely used for:
- Fresh fruit & salad trays
- Dairy and yogurt packaging
- Ready-meal containers
- Dessert and bakery packaging
- Cold display lids and clamshells
Comparison with Other Materials
| Property | PET | PP | PS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transparency | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ |
| Stiffness | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ |
| Barrier (oxygen & moisture) | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ |
| Recyclability | ♻️ Excellent | Moderate | Poor |
| Food Safety | BPA-Free | Good | Good |
PET clearly stands out for clarity, strength, and recyclability.
When combined with anti-fog treatment, it becomes one of the best-performing plastic sheets for food-grade thermoforming.
