PET can safely be filled at 120-140 degrees. Any higher than that will distort the bottle.

No. While there are some "universal liners", most heat induction liners are specifically designed to seal to a particular type of plastic resin. So, a liner that is meant to seal to HDPE may not seal to PET and vice versa. Contact your Berlin Packaging consultant for advice on which liner[s] to test for your specific product and container.
