FOUR TYPES OF PLASTIC FOR PACKAGING

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.

FOUR TYPES OF PLASTIC FOR PACKAGING

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

4. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

HDPE is recognized as one of the most versatile and durable plastics available. Its high impact resistance and melting point contribute to its widespread use in packaging.

Common Uses: Freezer bags, milk and juice bottles, pouches, and sachets
