Thermoforming Packaging Materials Results in a Sleek Finish, and Remarkable Strength

Thermoformed Packaging, Thermoforming Packaging

In developing clamshells, trays and lids, manufacturers use the thermoforming process. In thermoforming, the packaging material made of plastic sheet is unwound from a reel and then subjected to intense heat. Once softened, the material is pushed onto a mold, allowed to cool, and then disengaged. The result is an extremely hard, tamper-proof and water-resistant product that takes the shape of its mold.

This can be further customized to include the product or company logo. Printed inserts can also be used to included to provide informational and design elements to the package.

Thermoformed packaging has been very useful for the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and electronics industries – as it has given birth to the sleek, transparent package that businesses use for fresh produce, medicines, beauty products and gadgets.
