  Thermoforming is a plastic processing technology. Its main principle is to heat and soften a flat plastic sheet, then use vacuum suction to adhere it to the surface of a mold, and cool it to form the shape. Thermoforming Process It is widely used in the plastics packaging, lighting, advertising, and decoration industries.


  The main advantages of thermoformed packaging are saving raw materials, light weight, convenient transportation, good sealing performance, and meeting the requirements of environmentally friendly green packaging; it can package any irregularly shaped products, and no additional cushioning materials are needed for packing; the packaged products are transparent and visible, beautiful in appearance, easy to sell, and suitable for mechanized and automated packaging, facilitating modern management, saving manpower, and improving efficiency.

  Thermoformed Packaging


  Thermoformed packaging products mainly include: blister packs, trays, and thermoformed boxes. Synonyms include: vacuum covers, blister packs, etc. Thermoforming process


  Blister Pack


  Using thermoforming technology, transparent plastic sheets are made into transparent plastics with specific raised shapes, covering the surface of the product to protect and beautify the product. Also known as blister packs, vacuum covers, and plastic face shields. According to the different forms of blister packs, they can be divided into: single blister packs, double blister packs, insert card blister packs, and suction card blister packs.


  Thermoformed Box


  This is a type of thermoformed product with a lid and a bottom. Those with the bottom and lid connected are called folding thermoformed boxes, while those with separate bottoms and lids are called top and bottom thermoformed boxes. Thermoforming process


  Thermoformed Tray


  Also known as a plastic inner tray, it uses thermoforming technology to make plastic with specific concave grooves from plastic sheets, placing the product in the grooves to protect and beautify the product. Thermoforming process


  Flocked Tray


  This is a thermoformed tray using special materials, with a layer of velvet material glued to the surface of an ordinary plastic sheet, giving the tray surface a velvety feel to enhance the packaging grade.


  Anti-static Tray


  This is a thermoformed tray using special materials with a surface resistance of less than 10 to the power of 11 ohms. It is mainly used for thermoformed trays of electronic and IT products. Thermoforming process


  Thermoforming Mold


  Molds used in thermoforming production. Plaster molds are relatively low in cost, followed by electroplated copper molds, and aluminum molds are more expensive. The molds are drilled with small holes for vacuum suction of the heated sheet to form thermoformed products.
