Here's why PETG is the right choice for a beer crate, and PLA is a poor choice

PLA is unsuitable for beer crates because

  • Becomes brittle and fragile in freezing temperatures in the garage or car in winter
  • Becomes soft and loses shape at temperatures above 60°C (hot car in summer)
  • Breaks easily on impact or if the crate is dropped due to the material's brittleness
  • Degrades from moisture from cold cans and bottles due to condensation
  • Deforms over time under the weight of beer bottles (creep)
  • Is sensitive to UV light from the sun

PETG is the right choice because

  • Retains its properties from freezing temperatures to 80°C
  • Is impact resistant and can withstand bumps and falls
  • Bends instead of breaking under overload
  • Is resistant to moisture and condensation
  • Has minimal creep under constant load
  • Is UV-resistant
  • Is "food safe" (same material as soda bottles)

In short: PETG gives you a durable beer crate that can be used all year round in the Danish climate, while a PLA crate will likely break within a shorter period
