Thermoform Packaging

Plastic trays and other thermoformed products offer superior durability over wood or corrugated paper, are easy to manufacture and are cost-effective, making this type of packaging highly popular and budget friendly. Thermoforming trays and other products is much faster than injection molding with a much lower tooling cost as well.

At PreferPack, we use either thin-gauge or heavy-gauge film sheets, and these sheets are placed over a mold, heated and vacuum formed with a burst of reverse air pressure to make the product’s shape. When the shaped film sheet cools, the sheet becomes a solid but flexible (depending on thickness and design) product that can withstand a surprising amount of use.
