Description
MY YARD Transparent PET Sheets
Clear, impact-resistant PET sheets made from 80% recycled PET bottles: the MY YARD choice for chocolate moulds, packaging shells and any part that needs to be see-through.
These transparent PET sheets offer high transparency and impact resistance. They are made from 80% recycled PET bottles and are suitable for food-related applications, which makes them a natural partner for 3D-printed chocolate mould masters.
For the best result, form the sheet within three seconds after it reaches the target temperature; overheating turns PET white. A food-grade release agent can also be used as a surface coating.

Using it with 3D-printed moulds
PET captures the surface of a smooth 3D-printed master well. Sand or coat the print to remove layer lines, design in a draft angle above 3° and add 1.5–2 mm vent holes in recesses. In MY YARD's tests a PLA master lasts about 3–5 formings, ABS about 30–50 and resin hundreds.
Questions About Transparent PET Sheets
Can I make chocolate moulds with these PET sheets?
Yes. MY YARD lists chocolate moulds as a main use of these sheets, which are suitable for food-related applications. A food-grade release agent can be used as a surface coating.
Why does my PET turn white after forming?
The sheet was overheated or heated for too long. Lower the temperature slightly and pull the frame down within three seconds of reaching the target temperature.
Which pack fits my FORMART?
300 × 205 mm packs fit the FORMART S, and the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 with their size-switching kit. 500 × 300 mm packs fit the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 only.
Is PET the same as PETG for vacuum forming?
No. These are PET sheets. PETG is a different, related material; it is in the FORMART material database if you want to use third-party PETG sheets.
