Why PETG Excels for Our Cookie Cutters and Fondant Stamps
At Spronkles we're dedicated to creating exceptional baking tools that stand out from the rest. While others might opt for PLA (Polylactic Acid), we've chosen PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) for some excellent reasons:
Durability That Lasts
PETG is built tough. It's more resilient and flexible compared to PLA, ensuring our cookie cutters and fondant stamps maintain their shape even after heavy use. That means gear that goes the distance in your kitchen.
No Compromises on Safety
Safety is paramount. PET is the same plastic used in soft drink bottles, and safe for food contact. Our printers are fitted with stainless steel nozzles that are free of lead and other potential metal nasties. It's peace of mind in every cookie cutter and fondant stamp.
Effortless Maintenance
The smooth surface of PETG ensures precise and clean-cut designs. Plus, unlike some PLA gear that may warp, our PETG products won’t turn to goo in your sink. Cleaning is a breeze, giving you more time to enjoy your delicious creations.
We recommend washing cutters and stamps by hand with warm soapy water, and allow to dry on a flat surface.
If a cutter or stamp takes an accidental detour through the dishwasher or unscheduled long hot soak in the sink, don't fret! PETG can withstand temperatures over 80ºc (for comparison, your average dishwasher runs at around 60ºc). If your cutters or stamps become warped, carefully soak in a cup of warm water for a few minutes, then place under a heavy object, such as a wooden chopping board and allow to cool.
Eco-Friendly Choice
PETG falls under plastics recycling code #1, making it fully recyclable. In Australia, PETG can be conveniently recycled through local council programs, contributing to a sustainable future without compromising quality.
At Spronkles, we're committed to delivering premium baking gear that elevates your kitchen experience. With PETG, we're serious about quality, durability, safety, and sustainability—all wrapped up in one exceptional package.
