A clear fruit clamshell, formed food tray, injection-molded cup and paper cup are not the same production process. Begin with the specific model or drawing and confirm which material and method apply to that item.
State what the pack will hold, whether food contact is intended, the expected temperature, contact time, handling route and destination market. A material name alone does not establish suitability for every application.
For display packaging, specify required clarity, color and surface appearance. PET and rPET may be considered for clear packs, but recycled-content level and visual consistency must be confirmed for the selected sheet and approved sample.
Thickness, cavity depth, ribs, closure and stacking influence how the finished pack behaves. Ask for product-specific material information and documents relevant to the destination and use condition, rather than a generic certificate for the whole catalog.
Provide the selected model or drawing, product dimensions, intended use, target quantity, appearance requirement and destination. If a customer has a written material or compliance specification, attach it before the material route is confirmed.
