3D Print surface that "flexes"

I am printing a large amount of small parts; is there a piece I can add to my glass that when done will flex, allowing the parts to "pop" off into a box?

If you're printing in PLA, just let the glass cool and your parts should pop off easily.

Using PETG at the moment; I have seen some people recommends PEI; will that work for what I need?

Zebra plate. It's flexible.
Keep in mind, it might introduce a slight leveling issue that you need to be aware of how to fix - you can actually bend these, and you need to make sure they are as flat as possible (and clamped down) to use them.

PEI also releases fairly easily once it is cool, but you might still have to pry them up a bit to get them started. It stays flat.
