ONE PLASTIC supplies clear PET film for printing in rolls and cut sheets for UV offset and screen-printing applications. The available thickness range is 0.12–1.00 mm, with widths from 100 to 1,200 mm. Buyers can specify the material grade, surface treatment, protective film, format, and packing around their press and converting process.
Printing performance depends on the PET surface, ink formulation, curing conditions, and any later cutting or folding. For a useful trial, provide the printing method, ink type, required dimensions, treated side, and downstream process. ONE PLASTIC can prepare a free material sample; the customer pays the freight.

Printing-Grade PET for Converters and Industrial Printers
This printing-grade clear PET film is intended for buyers who need to print and then convert the material into packaging, stationery, display, or identification components. It is not a custom printing-service offer, DTF transfer film, desktop inkjet transparency, latex-printing media, or PET 3D-printing filament.
The same base film can perform differently when the surface, ink, and curing process change. A printing-grade order should therefore identify the printed side and the intended ink system. A representative press trial is required before bulk production, especially when the printed sheet will later be creased, folded, laminated, punched, or die-cut.
PET Film for Printing Specifications
The table lists confirmed supply options, not a promise that every combination is available without review. Final thickness, width, treatment, treated side, protective film, material grade, packing, and test requirements must be recorded in the quotation or approved order specification.
Choose the Surface Treatment by Function
Corona treatment is typically applied to one side of the material. The target is 42 dyne, and the corona effect is checked before shipment. This target should not be presented as a permanent value because surface treatment declines over time.
Printing is normally recommended within three months after corona treatment. Buyers should align the production, delivery, and printing schedule and check the surface again before use, particularly when the material has been stored for an extended period. The order must identify which side will be printed.
Single-Side Anti-Scratch Treatment
Anti-scratch treatment is typically applied to one side when the project needs added surface protection during handling or conversion. The treated face should be identified in the order and in the customer’s artwork and process documents. Anti-scratch treatment does not replace a print-adhesion trial or guarantee resistance to every chemical, abrasion load, or end-use environment.
Double-Side Anti-Static Treatment
Anti-static treatment is typically applied to both sides. It can be selected for processes where static buildup and dust attraction need to be controlled. The required performance and test method should be stated before production; the confirmed option does not establish an unqualified anti-static lifetime or value.
Ink Compatibility by Printing Method
Ink compatibility must be assessed by both the printing process and the ink formulation. This PET film should not be described as universally compatible with UV, eco-solvent, solvent, latex, and water-based inks.
UV Offset Printing
Use PET-specific UV offset ink. General UV compatibility is not enough because the ink must be formulated to wet and adhere to PET under the actual curing conditions. Provide the ink family, press information, printed side, film thickness, and any post-print creasing, folding, or die cutting.
The approval trial should check coverage, adhesion, cure, registration, and appearance after the real downstream operation. If the artwork includes a white backing or transparent window, evaluate the proof over a background similar to the finished application.
Screen Printing
Screen printing offers several possible ink routes, but each has a different boundary. UV screen ink is a stable option when selected for PET. Dedicated eco-solvent screen ink can be used when the surface has a suitable primer or corona treatment. Solvent screen ink is an established route, but the printer must manage VOC exposure and evaluate any corrosive or softening effect on the film.
Dedicated water-based screen ink can be considered when the surface treatment and drying conditions are tightly controlled. Latex is not suitable. In every case, test the production film, ink, deposit, curing or drying settings, and converting process together before approving a bulk run.
Protective Film Handling Before Printing
The product can be supplied with adhesive-free static protective film on one side or both sides. The protective layer helps shield the PET surface during packing, transport, and handling without using a residual adhesive.
Remove the protective film from the printable face before printing. The order and work instructions should state which face is treated, which face is protected, and when each protective layer will be removed. Protective film is a handling option; it does not replace clean storage, surface inspection, or an ink-adhesion test.
Virgin and Reprocessed Material Options
Two material-grade options are available. The 100% virgin option uses virgin PET resin. The 80% virgin option consists of 80% virgin resin and 20% reprocessed PET.
Select the grade according to the buyer’s application, appearance, documentation, and testing requirements. The 80% virgin option should not be described as a specific post-consumer recycled content or certification unless separate product documents confirm that claim.
Typical Applications
Clear printed folding cartons and transparent packaging panels
Packaging windows, sleeves, and printed inserts
Stationery covers, folders, and document components
Retail display graphics and promotional pieces
Clear signs, overlays, and identification parts
Printed components that are later cut, punched, creased, folded, or die-cut
These are material-use examples. The final product design, ink system, processing sequence, and performance requirements remain the buyer’s project specification. If the printed film will be exposed to outdoor weather, chemicals, heavy abrasion, food contact, or regulated use, obtain the relevant evidence and test plan before ordering.
Production, Inspection, and Customization
Each order starts with confirmation of the material grade, thickness, width, surface treatment, treated side, protective-film arrangement, format, quantity, and packing. Orders are normally checked by batch sampling rather than a claimed 100% inspection of every sheet or roll. Corona performance is checked before shipment for corona-treated orders.
The typical lead time for customized printing-grade orders is 7–14 days, depending on the specification and quantity. ONE PLASTIC’s confirmed factory capacity of 5,000 tons per month refers to total PET production across the factory, not the monthly capacity of this product alone.
OEM and ODM support can include custom packaging and the customer’s logo. These details should be approved with the packaging artwork and order documents. Exact packing construction, label content, quantities, and shipping marks must be confirmed for the order.

FAQ About PET Film for Printing
What is PET film for printing?
PET film for printing is clear PET film or sheet prepared for UV offset and screen-printing applications. Buyers can specify thickness, width, material grade, surface treatment, protective film, format, and packing for their printing and converting process.
What thickness and width can ONE PLASTIC supply?
The confirmed thickness range is 0.12–1.00 mm, and the confirmed width range is 100–1,200 mm. Send the required combination, quantity, and roll or sheet format for production review.
What corona level is available?
Single-side corona treatment is typically available with a target of 42 dyne. Corona performance is checked before shipment, but the effect declines over time and should not be treated as a permanent guaranteed value.
How soon should corona-treated PET be printed?
Printing is normally recommended within three months after corona treatment. Coordinate the delivery and printing schedule and check the surface before use, particularly after extended storage.
Which ink should be used for UV offset printing?
Use UV offset ink formulated specifically for PET. Eco-solvent, solvent, and latex inks are not suitable for UV offset on this product, while water-based ink is not recommended.
Which inks can be used for screen printing?
PET-compatible UV screen ink is a stable option. Dedicated eco-solvent screen ink can be used with suitable priming or corona treatment. Solvent screen ink can be used with VOC and film-attack controls. Dedicated water-based screen ink requires suitable treatment and controlled drying. Latex is not suitable.
Is the protective film adhesive-backed?
No. The available protective layer is an adhesive-free static film. It can be applied to one or both sides and must be removed from the printable face before printing.
What does the 80% virgin option mean?
It means 80% virgin PET resin plus 20% reprocessed PET. It should not be interpreted as a specific post-consumer recycled-content claim without supporting documentation.
How is quality checked?
Orders are normally checked by batch sampling. Corona-treated orders also receive a corona-effect check before shipment. No fixed sampling ratio or 100% inspection claim is made on this page.
Can I receive a free sample?
Yes. A material sample is free, and the customer pays the freight. Share the press, ink, dimensions, treatment, and downstream operation so the sample can represent the planned process.
What is the typical lead time?
The typical lead time is 7–14 days for customized printing-grade orders, depending on the specification and quantity. Current timing should be reconfirmed with the quotation.
