Choosing the right plastic for packaging is essential for product safety and durability. This article highlights four key types of plastic—Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)— each with distinct properties suited for various applications.
1. Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene (PP) is a strong plastic that is less brittle than many alternatives. It can be made either translucent or in vibrant opaque colors. With a high melting point, PP is ideal for food packaging that can be used in microwaves or safely cleaned in dishwashers.
Common Uses: Containers, cups, bottles

2. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
PET is one of the most widely used plastics for food packaging. Renowned for its strength, lightweight nature, and crystal-clear appearance, PET offers a shiny, smooth finish that is both durable and appealing.
Common Uses: Bottles, jars, meal prep covers

3. Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
LDPE is a flexible, transparent plastic utilized in various food packaging applications. It is thinner compared to other resins but boasts excellent heat resistance. LDPE’s durability and adaptability make it a popular choice for film-based products.
Common Uses: Food bags, wraps, squeeze bottles
