One-Pellet rPET Solution: Streamlining Color, Functionality & Efficiency

Hi there! I’m Jenna Mathis and I work in Sales at Penn Color.

One of my customers recently came to us with a challenge that I see very often in the world of PCR PET packaging: they were using 100% PCR but struggling with the color. Their material had a gray-green tint, making the final product look dull and unappealing. They wanted a more natural, fresh appearance with a slight blue hint - but without overcomplicating their process.

I knew we could help!

Rather than proposing a multi-step solution with several additives, we created a single-pellet formula that does it all. It combines a frost effect to enhance appearance, a toner to neutralize the yellow-brown tint, and UV protection up to 390nm for added product durability. The result: a seamless, cost-effective, and easy-to-use solution that eliminates dosing errors and delivers the desired color - without any disruption to their manufacturing process.

Now, their product looks better than ever, and they’re thrilled with the simplicity of our approach. Moments like these are why I love what I do at Penn Color - helping customers achieve their vision with smart, efficient solutions!
