Thermoforming

What is Thermoforming?

Thermoforming is a process of transformation of a plain plastic foil into a three-dimensional shape through the application of heat, vacuum, and air pressure.

It is an inexpensive method that allows the production of single-use plastic parts with a wide variety of uses.

For example, the packaging of a product or auxiliary carrying supports such as trays used in industrial production.

Why use Thermoforming?

• The cost of machinery and technology is minimum so Thermoforming is cost-effective in high and low productions.
• You can use various materials, PET, PVC, PC, PS, PP, etc.
• May replace the injection technique for a certain type of parts.
• The moulds are economic, compared with other technologies.
• Production times are short.
• Is ideal for the manufacture of single-use packaging.
• It is a suitable process for the manufacture of prototypes.

In which applications can be used?

• Trays for transporting parts in industrial applications.
• Support trays for the horticultural industry.
• Cases and trays for the food industry.
