Explore our extensive line of high-performance functional films and GAG/PETG decorative structures engineered for flat paste processing and laminating machinery.
Uncompromising optical clarity, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance for critical industrial environments.
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) sheets in 1 mm thickness represent the sweet spot between structural rigidity and flexible manipulation. Unlike acrylic (PMMA) which is prone to shattering, or polycarbonate (PC) which can be cost-prohibitive, 1 mm transparent PET sheets provide an optimal balance of impact resistance, high clarity, and thermoforming capabilities.
As a leading ODM partner, Ganzhou Zhongyou Film Material Co., Ltd. processes virgin PET resins via high-precision co-extrusion technology. This ensures the omission of black spots, gel particles, and fish-eyes, delivering an ultra-clean optical surface suitable for protective face shields, pharmaceutical packaging blister trays, industrial safety windows, and custom structural components.
Whether you require corona treatment for UV printing, anti-fog coatings for medical environments, or anti-static (ESD) protection for cleanroom electronics assembly, our modern extrusion lines allow customized additives to be integrated directly into the polymer matrix.
A trusted Top 10 innovator in China's high-performance PET/PETG functional film manufacturing sector.
Spanning 60,000 m² of state-of-the-art industrial layout, our manufacturing center accommodates automated extrusion lines, precision slitting units, and secondary thermal coating chambers.
Our class 100,000 purification workshops ensure that functional protective films and optical 1 mm PET sheets are manufactured without microscopic contamination, meeting strict food & medical standards.
Operating over 300 units of production machinery, including German-engineered multi-layer flat die extruders, offline slitting systems, and electronic surface tension treaters.
Established with a foundation tracing back through twenty years of technical development in coating engineering, and formalized at our Ganzhou site in 2017, Zhongyou Film Material has secured its position as a high-density, functional plastic supply partner. We focus on the entire manufacturing spectrum: from polymer masterbatch formulation, sheet extrusion, and inline corona processing, to precision functional coating and custom slitting.
This vertical integration allows us to supply consistent quality globally, ensuring that whether a client purchases customized PETG decorative films for furniture wallboards or high-durability 1 mm transparent PET sheets, the dimensional tolerances, optical parameters, and thermal-forming results remain identical across production runs.
Understanding supply chains, quality requirements, and target markets for 1 mm Transparent PET Sheets.
In the international procurement landscape, industrial buyers require transparent PET sheets that conform to rigid chemical and mechanical standards. Common commercial demands include:
High-volume buyers sourcing premium 1 mm sheets for medical device trays and electronic component packaging.
Manufacturers looking for robust window inserts, equipment shielding screens, and structural protective barriers.
Marketing firms using rigid transparent sheets for POS setups, lightboxes, and printed signage.

Integrating clear barrier technology and premium surface film finishes in diverse industrial spheres.
For whole-house customization enterprises and industrial builders, Ganzhou Zhongyou Film Material provides complete surface solutions. Our product suite bridges the gap between raw functional plastics and architectural styling elements.
In home design environments, panels finished with our PETG furniture decorative films deliver premium, ultra-matte or mirror-gloss finishes that rival authentic wood veneer or stone slabs. These surfaces are bonded using high-efficiency PUR flat paste machines, providing strong moisture defense and environmental safety.
Parallelly, for commercial structures and device packaging, our 1 mm transparent PET sheet functions as a robust barrier. It prevents physical abrasion, repels industrial liquids, and maintains shape under ambient temperature swings, offering a complete design-to-protection system.
Each roll or stack of transparent PET sheets is subjected to automatic inline optical scan detection to catch pinholes and contamination before packing.
Full trace-back capability on all feedstock runs.
How engineering innovations are reshaping the transparency, sustainability, and structural characteristics of PET substrates.
By sandwiching a cost-effective APET core layer between thin exterior skins of glycol-modified PETG, co-extrusion technology yields GAG sheets. This hybrid structural material achieves the thermoforming versatility of PETG at a price point closer to basic APET, eliminating edge brittleness.
Modern production techniques involve inline plasma surface processing to permanently modify chemical bonding sites. Unlike liquid corona chemicals that degrade over time, plasma modifications sustain high surface energy for months, facilitating extended storage before printing.
Moving toward fully circular products, our development group is exploring bio-derived glycols (Bio-PET) to reduce dependency on fossil hydrocarbons, without sacrificing light transmittance or structural performance.
Our commitment to regulatory transparency is backed by internationally recognized testing frameworks.
Operational procedures at our Ganzhou plant align with international environmental directives. The 1 mm transparent PET sheets and functional laminates undergo routine compliance runs to verify limits of heavy metals, plasticizers, and dangerous compounds.
For electronic OEMs, our sheets comply with the RoHS 3 Directive (2015/863/EU), ensuring no polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or phthalates interfere with device chassis applications. Our food-grade grades align with European Commission Regulation No 10/2011 on plastic materials intended to come into contact with food.
In-depth, technical clarifications regarding 1 mm PET sheet processing, ordering, and material traits.
The primary difference lies in thermal properties and ease of processing. APET (Amorphous PET) is highly transparent and economical, but it undergoes crystallization when heated excessively, leading to brittleness and haziness. PETG (glycol-modified) resists crystallization, enabling deep thermoforming, vacuum forming, and laser-cutting without edge cracking. However, PETG has a slightly lower surface hardness compared to APET.
Yes. We apply inline corona treatment during the extrusion phase to elevate the surface tension of our sheets to ≥38-42 dynes. This makes the surface receptive to standard UV digital, offset, and screen-printing inks. For specialized runs, we recommend testing ink compatibility or requesting our customized pre-treated samples.
Our ODM solutions encompass customized dimensions (both rolls and sheets), thickness alterations from 0.2 mm up to 3 mm, specialized color tints (translucent blue, bronze, smoked, etc.), and functional coating variants. These coatings include Anti-Static (electrostatic discharge shielding), Anti-Fog (medical visor applications), and custom UV-stabilized layers for outdoor usage.
We source only 100% virgin polymer resin from verified chemical suppliers. Feedstock is dried in automated desiccant hoppers prior to processing to avoid moisture-induced degradation (which causes hydrolytic bubbling). Every lot undergoes density and melt flow index (MFI) verification before entering the extruder screw.
All transparent sheets are protected by thin polyethylene (PE) masking film or paper lining on both sides. Sheets are flat-packed onto heavy-duty fumigated wooden pallets, wrapped with stretch film, and bound securely with steel banding. For rolls, core plugs and foam padding protect edge structures during maritime transport.
