Editing BoPET (section)

=== Flexible packaging and food contact ===
[[File:Seafood Packaging (96-132-17a).jpeg|thumb|right|NASA's Technology Transfer Office at Stennis Space Center worked with a New Orleans seafood packaging company to develop a container to improve the shipping longevity of seafood, primarily frozen and fresh fish, while preserving the taste. A NASA engineer developed metalized heat resistant polybags with thermal foam liners using an enhanced version of the metalized mylar commonly known as "space blanket material," which was produced during the Apollo era.]]
* Laminates containing metallized boPET foil (in technical language called printin{{typo help inline|reason=similar to printing|date=September 2022}} or laminate web substrate) protect food against oxidation and aroma loss, achieving long [[shelf life]]. Examples are coffee "foil" packaging and pouches for convenience foods.
*[[Pop-Tarts]] are sold in pairs wrapped in silver boPET. They were previously wrapped in foil.
* White boPET web substrate is used as lidding for dairy goods such as [[yogurt]].
* Clear boPET web substrate is used as lidding for fresh or frozen ready meals. Due to its excellent heat resistance, it can remain on the package during microwave or oven heating.
* Roasting bags
* [[Metallised film]]s
* Laminated sheet metal (aluminium or steel) used in the manufacture of cans ([[bisphenol A]]-free alternative to lacquers)
