Glass-like performance with
all the benefits of plastic

ThermaSet® is a patented heat-set process that allows PET to be used instead of glass in challenging hot-fill and pasteurization applications. It’s sustainable, lightweight and shatterproof, making it the perfect e-commerce solution.

 

New Possibilities in Packaging

ThermaSet PET as an alternative to glass packaging.

Like glass, ThermaSet PET promotes longer shelf life and offers a clear view of the product packaged within it. It also works with metal lug, metal CT closures, can ends and plastic closures, making it a drop-in solution for most fill lines. As a sustainable, e-commerce-compatible solution, ThermaSet PET can be used to package a variety of food items that undergo high-heat sterilization techniques.
