PET Film FAQ Common Questions
Q: Is PET Film safe for food contact applications?
A: Yes, PET Film is FDA-compliant and approved for direct food contact when manufactured according to food-grade standards. It doesn't contain plasticizers like phthalates, making it a safer choice compared to some other plastic films. However, always verify that the specific PET Film product you're using has proper food-grade certification for your application.

PET Film FAQ Common Questions
Q: How should PET Film be stored for optimal performance?
A: PET Film should be stored in a cool, dry environment (15-25°C) with relative humidity below 60%. Keep rolls standing vertically on their cores, not lying flat. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. For best results, use the material within 12 months of manufacture and allow it to acclimate to room temperature before use if stored in cold conditions.
