metallized pet film

Compare factory replies for metallized pet film on the same thickness, optical-density question, quantity and document set. PET Film Sourcing does not publish a metal-coat thickness or a barrier percentage of its own. A price gap that hides treatment, color or the applicable ASTM standard is not yet a comparison.

Same-basis path for a metallized pet film offer

  1. Name the coat

    Ask whether the factory is quoting aluminum or another metal, and on one side or both. Leave optical density as a factory-confirmed field.

  2. Match the web

    Thickness, width and roll length must match the request. A cheaper roll that is narrower is a different line.

  3. Match the documents

    The lot file has to name the quoted metallized web. A plant ISO poster does not stand in.

  4. Match the money basis

    Incoterms, packing and quantity sit next to the figure. We will not recast a different Incoterm as a percentage saving.

Scope differences that usually explain a price gap

Treatment

Corona, chemical primer or no treatment. A metallized face is not automatically printable on the opposite face.

Ask

Which face is treated

Color and coat

Silver, tinted or patterned coats are different goods even when the polyester base is the same gauge.

Ask

Coat description on the invoice

ASTM or equivalent

If the inspector will run a named method, the report should cite that method. A brochure class is not enough.

Ask

Method and condition

Roles on the comparison, not partner badges

0% Published saving against an unnamed market price
3 Offers we try to keep on one basis
Re-quote Required when thickness, coat or quantity moves

If the specification moves, the previous number is an archive line. Send the changed axes as a new request so later batches can be compared with the approved item. Read the companion article on reading quotes.

Two trade-offs that change a metallized pet film number

Recycled-content polyester bases can support a brand PCR target, but metal-coat adhesion and haze can move when the melt is less stable. A virgin base usually holds optical density more tightly; it does not automatically win a carbon-file argument. Write the PCR percentage as a question, not as a saving story.

Food-contact or barrier claims belong to a named lot. A plant ISO file or a generic “metallized PET” brochure does not prove the coat thickness or the tensile strength in MPa or psi of the roll on this offer. If the inspector will run ASTM D882 or a barrier method, the report must cite that method and condition.
