The Lounge

Large roll of plastic in the lounge

For those of you who wonder the roll of plastic is:


A-PET Roll .012” x 40.625” x 2250 linear feet


It's good for thermoforming if you want to make your own clamshell packaging.

What does it retail at so we have a rough idea for donations?

A 12" x 12" sheet of 4 mil Mylar is worth about 50 cents retail. There aren't many listings for A-PET plastic. It seems to be about $2 per 8.5" x 11" page. It's hard to tell what the true value is. The 12x12 size is aimed at the Cricut users. Its also the size we would use for the vacuum former.
