Thermoforming
Thermoforming is a plastic molding technique that is much less expensive than injection molding. Rolls and/or sheets of plastic are heated and shaped over a mold and the finished product is trimmed and configured to specifications of the in-house or custom tray design, increasing stability and usability.
- Capable of large and small production runs
- Custom and inhouse stock designs are available
- A range of plastic tray materials in stock
