CPET Film

CPET film is a high-temperature crystalline PET film engineered for ovenable food trays, frozen ready meals and technical thermoformed parts. CloudFilm’s CPET grades combine heat resistance, impact strength and dimensional stability during both heating and cooling.

  • Oven & Microwave Safe – Withstands around 220°C in conventional ovens and supports microwave reheating, enabling dual-ovenable packaging for ready meals.

  • Designed For CPET Trays – Suitable for deep-drawn and compartment trays used in ready-to-eat meals, airline catering and bakery products.

  • Reliable Barrier Support – Helps protect contents against moisture and oxygen when combined with appropriate lidding films and structures.

  • Recyclable PET Base – PET-based structure supports PET-dominant recycling streams and your sustainability initiatives.

CPET Film Description

CPET film is a crystalline form of polyethylene terephthalate designed for high-temperature environments. Compared with standard flexible PET films, CPET offers a higher softening point and better dimensional stability, making it ideal for thermoforming rigid trays that must survive oven or microwave reheating.

In food packaging, CPET film is widely used as a forming web for ovenable and dual-ovenable trays. These trays can move from freezer or chiller to conventional ovens and microwaves with minimal warpage, helping brand owners deliver convenient ready meals and meal kits. For customers who prefer to buy finished trays, CloudFilm can also supply matching Food Packaging Trays based on CPET, PP or other materials.

Beyond food, CPET film can be considered for medical device trays and technical thermoformed parts where heat resistance, stiffness and impact strength are required. When combined with suitable lidding films such as PET/PE Film or Easy Peel Film, you can build complete tray-and-lid structures from a single supplier.

CloudFilm is a solution-driven manufacturer of PET-based packaging films with more than 20 years of export experience. We help you define the right CPET film grade, support pilot trials and then scale up to regular container-load shipments with stable quality and documentation for your internal approvals.

CloudFilm’s CPET film portfolio is designed for thermoforming trays and technical parts. Instead of offering a single “standard” grade, we work with you to define the right combination of thickness, width and color for each project.

Key specification dimensions:

  • Thickness: Tailored to tray depth, product weight and handling requirements. Thicker gauges support deep trays and heavy products, while thinner gauges can reduce material usage for lighter applications.

  • Width: Supplied in customized widths to match your thermoforming or sheet-cutting lines and minimize edge trim waste.

  • Color: Natural milky white, black or tinted colors can be discussed to meet branding, light-blocking or shelf-appearance needs.

  • Surface: Options for smooth or slightly matt surfaces; printable or slip-optimized surfaces can be evaluated for specific projects.

For regulated applications, we can provide documentation on food-contact compliance and testing results. Share your target application and process, and our team will recommend a practical CPET film specification for your line.

CPET Film Application

1. Ready-to-Eat Meals
CPET film is widely used to thermoform ovenable and dual-ovenable trays for chilled and frozen ready meals.

Trays made from CPET can go from freezer or chiller directly into conventional ovens and microwaves with minimal deformation, helping brand owners deliver safe and convenient meal solutions.

Combined with peelable lidding films such as Easy Peel Film
, you can build easy-open packs that enhance consumer experience.

2. Frozen Food Packaging
CPET trays formed from this film provide mechanical strength and dimensional stability at low temperatures, helping protect frozen meat, seafood and ready meals during transport and storage.

When paired with high-barrier top webs such as PET/PE Film or PVDC-coated PET films, the pack can better resist moisture and oxygen ingress and extend shelf life.

3. Medical Device Trays
CPET film can be considered for thermoforming trays used in medical and healthcare packaging where stiffness and heat resistance are required. Its dimensional stability helps maintain cavity geometry during sterilization and handling, while the PET base supports good optical appearance so that devices remain visible inside the pack.

Final compliance and validation should follow your local regulations and customer requirements.

4. Industrial Thermoforming
For technical parts such as electronics trays, component organizers and industrial logistics trays, CPET film offers a combination of rigidity and impact resistance.

It can be formed into multi-cavity trays that protect components during assembly and transport, while its recyclability supports sustainability initiatives in industrial packaging flows.

FAQ

Is CPET film safe for direct food contact and reheating?

Yes. CPET film supplied by CloudFilm is designed for direct food contact and can withstand typical oven and microwave reheating conditions when used correctly. We can provide food-contact documentation on request, and you should always verify compliance with your local regulations and specific application.

What information do you need to recommend a suitable CPET film grade?

To recommend the right CPET film, we mainly need your application (ready meals, frozen food, medical or industrial), tray size and depth, target thickness, maximum heating temperature and time, and expected demand. With this information, we can suggest a practical specification and sample plan for your thermoforming line.

Can CPET film be customized in thickness, width, color and surface?

Yes. CloudFilm can customize CPET film in terms of thickness, width, color (such as natural, black or tinted) and surface characteristics. We will discuss the exact combination based on your forming conditions, sealing method and branding requirements.

What is the difference between CPET film and APET film?

CPET is a crystalline PET film optimized for higher temperatures and ovenable trays, while APET Film is an amorphous PET film known for its excellent clarity and rigidity at room and chilled temperatures. APET is ideal for clear display trays and clamshells, whereas CPET is preferred when the tray must survive oven or microwave heating.

Can CPET trays go from freezer to oven in the same pack?

In many applications, CPET trays are designed to go directly from freezer or chiller to conventional ovens and microwaves, which is one of the key benefits of CPET. However, the final performance depends on tray design, wall thickness and filling conditions, so we recommend validating your complete pack on the actual line and equipment.

What is the typical MOQ and lead time for CPET film?

The minimum order quantity and lead time depend on the final specification and whether we are running a new grade or a repeat order. In general, CPET projects are planned in industrial quantities suitable for thermoforming lines. Share your forecast and destination port, and we will propose a practical MOQ and lead time for your project.

How do you control the quality and consistency of CPET film?

CloudFilm uses controlled extrusion processes and quality checks for thickness, appearance and mechanical properties. For export projects, we maintain consistent specifications across repeat orders and can provide inspection records or test reports to support your internal approvals.

Can you also supply matching trays or lidding films for CPET packaging?

Yes. Besides CPET film, CloudFilm can supply Food Packaging Trays, PET/PE Film, Easy Peel Film and other PET-based or high-barrier films, allowing you to source tray material and lidding films from one partner.
