RPET/CPET/POF Film

Introduction to rPET/cPET/POF Film

RPET (recycled PET), CPET (crystalline PET), and POF (Polyolefin) films are versatile, sustainable packaging materials used across various industries.

RPET Film is made from recycled PET plastics, offering eco-friendly packaging with good clarity, strength, and printability. It supports sustainability goals while maintaining high performance.
CPET Film is heat-resistant and ideal for applications requiring thermal stability, such as ovenable or microwaveable packaging. It has excellent stiffness and barrier properties.
POF Film is a flexible, multi-layer shrink film known for its strong seal strength, clarity, and durability. It’s widely used for wrapping consumer goods, food, and electronics.

Hardvogue is a specialized manufacturer of packaging films more than 27years, we even a variety of shrink films for you to choose from.It can also be customized to any of your needs.

Product Varieties

RPET/CPET/POF Film film is available in several types to cater to diverse applications

●RPETG Film:RPET (recycled PET) film is an environmentally friendly packaging material made from post-consumer recycled plastic. It offers excellent clarity, printability, and mechanical strength while supporting sustainability and circular economy goals. Ideal for labels, thermoforming, and flexible packaging, rPET film combines performance with reduced environmental impact.

●CPETG Film: CPET (crystalline PET) film is a high-temperature-resistant polyester film with excellent dimensional stability and stiffness. Designed for applications such as heat-sealable trays, ovenable packaging, and lidding films, cPET maintains integrity under extreme heat, making it ideal for food and industrial use.

●POF Film: POF (Polyolefin) shrink film is a high-clarity, durable packaging material widely used for wrapping products of all shapes and sizes. Known for its strong seals, high shrink rate, and puncture resistance, POF film is ideal for food, cosmetics, toys, and retail goods, offering both protection and shelf appeal.

●Each film serves different purposes:

RPET : focuses on sustainability and clarity.

CPET: is chosen for heat resistance.

POF : excels in shrink performance and flexibility.
