AB The increased consumption of food requiring thermoformed packaging implies that thepackaging industry demands customized solutions in terms of shapes and sizes to make eachpackaging unique. In particular, food industry increasingly requires more transparent packaging,with greater clarity and a better presentation of the product they contain. However, in turn, thedifferentiation of packaging is sought through its geometry and quality, as well as the arrangement offood inside the packaging. In addition, these types of packaging usually include ribs in the walls toimprove their physical properties. However, these ribs also affect the final aesthetics of the product.In accordance with this, this research study analyses the mechanical properties of different reliefgeometries that can affect not only their aesthetics but also their strength. For this purpose, tensile andcompression tests were carried out using thermoformed PET sheets. The results provide comparativedata on the reliefs studied and show that there are differences in the mechanical properties accordingto shape, size and disposition in the package.
