The present invention relates to a sheet comprising polyester, the sheet comprising at least one area (a) wherein the area (a) comprises at least one groove having a depth of >50% with regard to the thickness of the sheet in the area (a), wherein the sheet has a thickness of 200-1000 μm in the area (a). Such sheet provides the ability to snap along the grooves in a predictable manner, whilst providing sufficient rigidity to avoid undesired bending under the influence of its own weight.
