Why you should use PETG:
- Has excellent Bending and Vacuum Form properties
- Has great ease of fabrication
- Excellent impact strength
- Standard material is not UV stabilized
- Tougher than Acrylic, but not quite as tough as Polycarbonate/Makrolon
This materials is…an excellent material for fabrication of Point-of-Purchase (POP) Displays, Forming of 3-d parts, and bending.
- Excellent fabrication
- Low cost material with high impact strength
- Easy to form, punch, rivet and cut
- Paintable, printable, and silk screens well
- Excellent for indoor POP displays (not UV stable)
-
Applications – Frequently used in:

- Point-of-purchase and graphic displays
- Formed, stamped, or punched parts
- High impact parts like shields and guards
- Signage requiring three dimensions, painting or silk screening
- Break resistant displays, shelving, map covers or bent parts
- Router cut, saw cut and laser cut parts
