Checking Out Options For Thermoformed Packaging

By Lenna Stockwell


It should be safe to say that thermoformed plastics are surely one of the highly recommended substances to use for product packaging. Because thermoformed packages are known to protect products from dampness, dust and scratching or any possible injury it could cause a customer, it can indeed give full satisfaction. There are still several things you can learn about thermoforming and here are some of them.

Companies who are into the manufacture of thermoformed packaging they come up with it through melting or heating thin sheets of plastics which then go through molding. Since there can be different products to package, there are also different types of thermoplastic with properties corresponding to each one. Say you need to keep food products fresh and in good condition upon reaching consumers, the right packaging is either one created out of high-density polyethylene or the low-density polyethylene.

One of the best things about thermoplastic is that this is a type of plastic that can be recycled hundreds of times to create new products. Some thermoforming companies can create your custom packaging using packaging materials that contain recycled content or perhaps bio-based plastic. There are many options for companies that are concerned with sustainability.

There are many types of packaging to consider. Blister packs and clamshell packages are used for a variety of products. You see these types of packaging used to protect all sorts of food products as well as toys, batteries, medications, writing pens and much more. A blister pack often has a waxy piece of cardboard behind it with the product encased in plastic that is attached to the package using a strong adhesive.

As the name suggests, the clamshell package look much like an actual clamshell as it is a piece of thermoplastic which opens at one edge. Bakery goods or produce often are found with this type of packaging although a thicker of this type is being used for non-food products. You bet this type is hard to tamper with which then reduces risks of damages and theft for the products.

Thermoforming companies can give you custom retail packaging and many of them actually give assistance if you need it in every step of the process. They allow you meetings where you can give samples of your products for them to come up with a design for the best customized packaging to fit your needs. They can help you with inventory and perhaps even order fulfillment. Production is easier when all of these services can be provided for you by only one company.
