PET DIE-CUT LIDS
INTRODUCTION
Pre-cut plastic lids made of PET are a popular alternative to aluminium lids. The print quality achievable is higher because the plastic surface is white allowing improved graphic quality and colour definition. When transparent or clear PET with a heat-seal lacquer is used, the consumer can easily visualise the packaged product making it a highly versatile material. Metallised polyester (MET-PET) gives the lid a metallic surface and improved barrier properties.

PET lids are less costly to transport, they travel better and do not tear when peeled. Their high puncture resistance reduces the risk of leakers and product return. Plastic die-cut lids also allow the use of "end of line" metal detection, vital in food production and testing.

Q-LID V
Q-Lid V is a peelable heat-seal film that has been designed specifically for pre-cut lid use within the food and cosmetics sector. It can be manufactured with an anti-static coating to reduce de-nesting issues where the lids stick together.
It seals extremely well to PS, PP, PET, PE, PE lined paper and aluminium forming a strong, smooth peelable bond. It will also seal to PVC and is suitable for being placed in a microwave oven, convention all oven and refrigerated.
Q-Lid V has strong resistance to alcohol, vinegar and is capable of sealing through contaminated pots containing vegetable oils due to its hot-tack characteristics.

Q-Lid 75PET/50HT
Q-Lid 75/50 HT is a special laminate of 75μm PET to a special grade of 50μm CPP. This laminate is formulated to have a very strong peel seal to PP and HDPE containers. This material is steamable, pasteurisable and sterilisable. This laminate will absorb significant abuse from production processes yet will seal through contamination.

Q-LID COMBI
Q-Lid Combi seals to PP, PE, and PS Cups. It is exterior lacquered with a printing primer for improved ink adhesion. This foil is used as lidding foil for blow-moulded or injection moulded cups and containers. It provides a sterile closure in an aseptic filling process. The film is a medium peel and is tamper evident.
Q-Lid Combi can be used in applications that require hot-fill to 50°C and protects well against humidity and micro-organism attack. Optimum seal depends on sealing pressure, time, temperature and container type.

Q-Lid PET CO-EX
INTRODUCTION
Q-Lid Co-Ex lids has a layer of extruded polypropylene that heat-seals to PE & PP containers. Since extrusion coated materials do not use solvents in the heat-seal layer, they can be considered more environmentally friendly than heat-seal lacquered material.
A key advantage of Co-Ex is that they seal within a broad temperature range and do not require as precise temperature control of the heat-seal heads. Seal strengths achieved are extremely strong, a valuable attribute where the finished product may travel at altitude before reaching the consumer.
Where a product requires a long shelf life or is pasteurised or sterilized, Co-Ex PET lids are an ideal solution. Other advantages include the elimination of container warping or panelling when packing hot-fill products.
PET lids with a thick layer of extruded polypropylene lacquer are used for sealing cups containing products which, due to their life cycle, must be pasteurised. Alternatively Q-Lid Co-Ex PET lids are used in situations where an extremely strong seal is required or where the packaged product has a high fat content or contains spices.
Q-Lid Co-Ex has been designed specifically for general purpose use. It seals extremely well to PP, PE, PE lined paper and aluminium forming a strong, smooth peelable bond. It will also seal to glass, PS and PVC and is chillable and ovenable. Q-Lid 50 PET Co-ex has strong resistance to the effects of freezing and is capable of sealing through contaminated pots containing vegetable oils due to its hot-tack characteristics. The printed side is treated with co-polyester for outstanding ink adhesion.
