Black PET Film Description
What is Black PET Film?
Black PET film, also known as black polyester film, is a thermoplastic polymer film made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with specialized black pigmentation . This versatile material is part of the polyester family and is known for its excellent strength, durability, and chemical resistance .
The black coloration provides exceptional light-blocking properties while maintaining the beneficial characteristics of standard PET films.
Common types of black PET film include:
-
Standard black opaque PET film
-
Conductive black PET film (with EMI shielding properties)
-
Food-grade black PET film
-
Flame-retardant black PET film
-
White-black combination films (one side black, one side white)

Black PET Film Applications
Food Packaging
Its deep black color enhances the premium feel of packaging while effectively blocking light and oxygen, helping to preserve food flavor and quality.
Medical Packaging
Used for medical devices and supplies, black PET film provides physical protection and light blocking, with its opacity offering additional privacy protection for products.
High-End Cosmetics Packaging
The deep black appearance lends a sense of luxury and sophistication to products, aligning with premium brand positioning, while its durability helps maintain appearance during transportation and display.
Electronics Shielding & Insulation
When used in electronic components, black PET film provides excellent insulation properties, thermal stability, and light blocking capabilities, also used for making light barrier tapes in LCD and backlight modules.
Industrial Tapes & Labels
Serving as a base material for industrial tapes and insulation tapes, black PET film offers high mechanical strength, tear resistance, and dimensional stability.
Special Functional Applications
Used in microelectronics, optical films, and anti-oxidation films, as well as components requiring high light blocking, wear resistance, and temperature stability, such as camera shutters.
FAQ
Our standard black PET film is available with treated surfaces that provide excellent adhesion for most printing, coating and lamination processes. For special inks or coatings, we can recommend the right surface treatment based on your process.
We use controlled pigment masterbatch systems, precise extrusion conditions and continuous online monitoring to keep the deep black color uniform from batch to batch. For long-term outdoor or high-temperature use, we can recommend grades with improved color stability.
In many applications, black PET film can operate continuously in elevated temperatures typical for PET (for example up to around 120–150°C, depending on grade and dwell time). However, the exact allowable temperature and duration depend on your specific structure and process, so please share your conditions and we will confirm with a suitable grade and TDS.
Standard black PET film grades are typically available from 12–200 μm. We supply jumbo rolls and slit rolls in widths compatible with common coating, laminating and slitting lines. Please let us know your required thickness, width and roll diameter so we can check availability or recommend a close equivalent.
Black PET film can be produced in food-contact grades that comply with relevant regulations (for example FDA or EU) when the correct raw materials and structures are selected. If you plan to use black PET film in direct or indirect food contact, please tell us your target market and regulatory requirements so we can recommend a suitable grade and provide the corresponding documentation (such as DoC / COA).
Yes. Many customers use black PET film as a backing for masking tapes, industrial and electrical tapes, nameplates and labels, as well as for insulation and light-blocking films in electronic devices. For applications requiring static control, you can also consider our Anti Static PET Film grades.
Black PET film can be laminated with Aluminized PET Film, PE, CPP and other substrates to build high-barrier or heat-sealable structures. Please send us your current laminate structure or target barrier requirements, and we will suggest a suitable design.
For standard black PET film specifications, the minimum order quantity and lead time are similar to our other PET films. As a guideline, standard orders can often be arranged within a typical PET film MOQ and lead time window, while custom thickness, color or surface treatments may require longer. Share your target specification and annual volume and we will confirm MOQ and delivery time.
