- Optically clear adhesive (OCA) for bubble-free application
Overview
What Is a PET Screen Protector?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) screen protectors are made of a high-quality polyester film with a scratch-resistant matte or glossy coating. They are the most common and cost-effective choice for basic screen protection on smartphones, tablets, and industrial touchscreens.
PET film offers crystal-clear clarity with high light transmittance, an ultra-thin profile of around 0.1mm that doesn't add bulk or affect touch sensitivity, and effective scratch resistance against everyday hazards like keys, coins, and fingernails — all at a budget-friendly price point.
Ensel die cuts PET protectors to your exact device dimensions, including camera, sensor, and button cutouts, and laminates them with optically clear adhesive for a bubble-free finish.

Our Process
How We Build Your Screen Protector
Material & Coating Selection
We select PET film weight and coating — matte or glossy — based on your device and end-use environment.
Precision Die Cutting
Camera, sensor, and button cutouts are die cut to match your device geometry exactly.
OCA Lamination
Optically clear adhesive is laminated to the film for bubble-free, high-clarity application.
QC & Packaging
Each protector is inspected for clarity, edge quality, and fit before multi-pack or bulk packaging.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PET screen protector?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) screen protectors are made of a high-quality polyester film with a scratch-resistant matte or glossy coating — the most common, cost-effective choice for basic screen protection on smartphones, tablets, and industrial touchscreens.
How does PET compare to tempered glass?
PET film is ultra-thin (~0.1mm), affordable, and preserves touch sensitivity, but offers lower impact protection. Tempered glass is thicker (~0.3mm+) and offers much higher impact protection at a higher price point.
Can you produce custom cutouts for cameras and sensors?
Yes. We die cut PET screen protectors to match your exact device geometry, including camera, sensor, speaker, and button cutouts.
Will a PET protector affect touch sensitivity or display clarity?
No. PET protectors maintain high light transmittance and full touch responsiveness due to their ultra-thin profile and optically clear adhesive.
Is PET the right choice for rugged or curved-screen devices?
PET is best for controlled environments where major drops are unlikely. For rugged use cases, tempered glass offers better impact protection; for heavily curved "waterfall" screens, TPU/hydrogel films conform better to the curve.
