Can CPET Film Be Laminated to Molded Fiber Packaging?
Yes. CPET (crystallized PET) film withstands oven temperatures, making it the mainstream lamination solution for oven-ready and heatable molded fiber trays.
Why Choose CPET-Laminated Fiber Trays
High-Temperature
Withstands oven heating — ideal for ready meal and baking applications
Wide Temperature Window
From freezer to oven; compatible with chilled, microwave and oven use
Lamination Performance
Softens evenly for good conformity; dimensionally stable after forming
Food Contact Compliance
Supported by EU food contact and FDA documentation (per latest test reports)

FAQ
What is CPET film?
CPET is crystallized PET film. Crystallization greatly improves temperature resistance, enabling oven-ready applications — the mainstream choice for heat-resistant lamination.
CPET vs regular PET?
Regular PET offers good clarity but limited heat resistance; CPET's crystalline structure withstands heating and baking, though with typically lower transparency.
Is CPET right for my tray?
If your application involves heating, baking or a wide temperature range (freezer to oven), CPET is usually the best fit. Try the film selection tool on the homepage for a first assessment.
