With the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people, more and more products adopt Thermoformed Shell This kind of thing to package their products, the main point is to better display the selling points of their products, to have a higher-grade packaging of the products, which can actually better protect the products. Below, let's look at the custom process of thermoformed shells.

1. Customer needs. Customers need to inform the length, width, and height of the custom thermoformed packaging products, as well as the thickness, color, model, quantity, and production cycle of the materials used.
2. Business quotation. We will base on the length, width, and height of the plastic products, the complexity of plastic molding, the type, thickness, and color of the materials used; the post-processing of plastic products (folding, punching, sealing, etc.), the order quantity, and the order cycle. The quotation will use the customer's samples and descriptions for a preliminary quotation, and the quotation will be given after the sample is made.
3. Confirm quotation. After the customer has no objection to the price and service, the design department pays the sample fee and proceeds with the mold design.
4. Foaming sample. After the customer approves the design draft, the production schedule will determine the mold development method according to the complexity of the thermoformed products. The development cycle is 3-5 days.
5. Confirm sample. After the customer confirms that the sample is correct, we will immediately start mass production.
6. Thermoforming production. Using a fully automatic high-speed thermoforming machine, the roll is pulled into the electric oven and heated until softened, then struck again to the thermoforming mold. The mold is vacuumed upwards, and the softened sheet is adsorbed to the mold surface. At the same time, cooling water is sprayed onto the surface of the formed sheet to harden it. The formed sheet is automatically pulled back to the material storage tank, and the pneumatic cutter separates the formed sheet from the unformed sheet, completing the entire process.
7. Punching processing. Products thermoformed from large sheets need to be processed by a punching machine, using a knife to divide the sheet into individual products. The bottom punching table has a large plastic chopping board, the layout of the formed products on the chopping board, and the knife die is clamped on a single product. Through the up and down movement of the punching, a product is cut out. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the chopping board and knife die are easily damaged, leading to uneven cutting edges. For the high-quality requirements of blister shells, it needs to be processed with cold stamping dies (male die, female die) and a cold stamping machine.
There are thousands of products in our lives, and more and more Thermoformed Shell are being used. To meet market demand, there are thousands of thermoformed shells, corresponding to various industries. Now, thermoformed shells have entered various fields of our lives, such as: machinery, display racks, sports equipment, American container equipment, medical devices, food safety fields, etc. Thermoformed shells refer to materials with a thickness of more than 2mm, all of which are processed through the steps of feeding - heating and softening - reverse blowing and pre-pulling - thermoforming - cooling and molding - demolding, while the principle of thin-sheet thermoformed shells is the same.
