Cesa Raise modified APET containers are also an alternative to crystallized PET (CPET) as they offer transparency and an increased productivity in the thermoforming process.

In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.
