Choosing the Right Plastic Resin for Your Product Packaging

Selecting the correct plastic resin is crucial to maintaining product stability and extending shelf life. At MK Packaging Solutions, we help you select the ideal material tailored to your product’s specific requirements.

1. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) – Premium Clarity and Protection

PET is highly valued for its appearance and protective qualities. It is an ideal choice for brands that want to showcase their product clearly while maintaining strong defense against environmental factors.

• Key Features: Crystal clear with a premium glass-like finish. It provides excellent mechanical strength and a strong gas barrier to protect contents against oxidation.

• Best Used For: High-purity bottles and jars for the pharmaceutical industry (syrups, supplements) and the cosmetic industry (serums, toners, lotions).

2. PP (Polypropylene) – Heat Resistance and Food Safety

PP is our food-grade specialty. It is engineered to withstand high temperatures and resist chemical reactions, making it the perfect material for food and daily consumables.

• Key Features: Outstanding thermal tolerance, making it highly heat-resistant. It offers excellent moisture barriers, chemical resistance, and fat or lipid compatibility.

• Best Used For: Food packaging solutions, including microwaveable meal containers, rigid cutlery (spoons, forks), and injection-molded tubs for butter, margarine, and dairy.
