Clear PETG Sheets - Various Sizes
Clear PETG sheets are an excellent choice for buyers looking for a transparent, impact-resistant plastic. They are ideal for protective screens, machine guards, retail displays, packaging, and custom machined components.
It's strength, transparency and weather resistance also make our PETG an ideal choice for glazing indoors (and out). Some customers use it as a popular alternative to glass, for picture framing and for greenhouse glazing.
Key Benefits of PETG:
- Impact resistant: Less prone to cracking than acrylic.
- Easy to fabricate: Suitable for cutting, drilling, CNC machining, heat bending, and thermoforming.
- Clear and lightweight: Provides excellent visibility like glass.
- Moisture resistant: Suitable for many humid environments and routine water exposure.
- Versatile: Available in different thicknesses to suit a range of applications.

What to Consider
Choose the correct sheet thickness for the required strength and stiffness. Best for buyers who need a durable, transparent plastic sheet that is easy to process and offers a practical balance of clarity, toughness, and fabrication flexibility.
Depending on the grade and thickness, PETG can provide light transmission of approximately 85–88% or higher. Actual performance depends on the sheet specification, surface finish and thickness.
This makes clear PETG useful for applications where visibility is essential, including:
- Retail displays and product stands.
- Protective screens and partitions.
- Machine inspection windows.
- Signage and information panels.
- Transparent equipment covers.
- Packaging and display trays.
PETG provides a clean, professional appearance while offering greater impact resistance than many brittle transparent materials. Always verify that the specific PETG grade is suitable for your needs and requirements before proceeding.

PETG FAQs
How does PETG compare to acrylic and polycarbonate?
PETG falls in the middle between acrylic and polycarbonate in terms of strength. It is much stronger than acrylic but not as strong as polycarbonate. For comparison: acrylic is 17× stronger than glass, PETG is 70× stronger than glass, and polycarbonate is 200× stronger than glass.
The standout points for PETG are its FDA approval for food safety and its ease of use. PETG is much easier to work and fabricate with (both DIY and professionally) than polycarbonate.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
