Why Choose Clear PET
Clear PET — Transparent Rigid Packaging for Full Product Visibility
Clear PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging is the material for applications where full product transparency is the primary packaging objective. Unlike windowed paperboard packaging that provides a partial view, clear PET creates completely transparent structures — the packaging disappears and only the product is visible. This total transparency is the strongest possible purchase-confidence tool for visually appealing products.
We produce clear PET packaging in folded box formats (clamshell, tuck-clear, and sleeve formats) and rigid thermoformed formats (trays, inserts, and blister components). The optical clarity of virgin PET is exceptional — comparable to glass at a fraction of the weight.
Clear PET Packaging Formats
Folded clear PET boxes — also called acetate boxes — are produced by die-cutting clear PET sheet and folding with a paperboard base or header card. Clamshell PET packaging uses two thermoformed halves that snap together. Tuck-clear format uses a clear body with a paperboard header for hanging display. Blister packaging uses a thermoformed PET cavity sealed to a printed backer card. Each format serves different product types and retail display requirements.
PET vs PVC for Clear Packaging
PET has largely replaced PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in clear packaging applications because PET is recyclable in standard #1 plastic streams while PVC is not readily recyclable and contains chlorine chemistry that complicates recycling. PET provides comparable optical clarity, rigidity, and food-safety to PVC while offering significantly better environmental profile. We use PET exclusively for clear packaging — we do not produce PVC packaging.
Custom Packaging for Hawaii Businesses
Hawaii's economy is shaped by tourism, specialty agriculture, and a strong local retail culture. Packaging for Hawaii brands must communicate the islands' natural beauty, authentic culture, and premium quality. Branded Boxes serves Hawaii businesses with packaging that captures the aloha spirit.
Hawaii Tourism and Gift Packaging
Tourism is Hawaii's largest industry, and gift packaging for the souvenirs, specialty foods, and artisan products visitors purchase must communicate authentic Hawaii brand values. Premium gift packaging that sells itself on retail shelves in Waikiki and resort shops requires bold, beautiful design and premium materials.
Hawaii Specialty Food Packaging
Hawaii's specialty agricultural products — Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, pineapple, Maui onions, and artisan food products — command premium pricing in mainland and international markets when packaged to communicate Hawaii provenance authentically. We produce specialty food packaging for Hawaii brands.
Honolulu and Statewide Packaging Solutions
Honolulu serves as Hawaii's commercial hub and hosts the majority of Hawaii's retail, technology, and business service companies. We serve Honolulu businesses and ship to all Hawaiian islands including Maui, Hawaii Island, Kauai, and Molokai.

Clear PET Packaging in Hawaii — FAQs
Is clear PET packaging food-safe?
Yes. PET (identified by the #1 recycling symbol) is an FDA-approved food contact material used globally for beverage bottles, food trays, and food packaging. Food-grade PET for direct food contact is specified with appropriate additive-free formulations.
Can clear PET packaging be recycled?
Yes. PET is recyclable in standard #1 plastic recycling streams available in most US municipalities. Pure PET packaging without added paperboard components achieves the highest recyclability rates.
Can printing be applied to clear PET packaging?
Yes. Screen printing, UV digital printing, and hot stamping can be applied to clear PET surfaces. Combined with a printed paperboard base or header, clear PET packaging achieves brand communication while maintaining product transparency.
What is the difference between clear PET and acetate?
