What is it

PETG is a clear thermoplastic polyester with a glossy finish.

Design notes

PETG has high Impact strength and is reasonably flexible. It can be formed with and without heat although tight bend radii could result in splitting and stress marks on along the folded edge. It has a low melting point so intricate cutting detail is not recommended. Vector engraving is favored over raster engraving and intricate details are not recommended
