Utilizing FDA-approved and ISO-certified production processes, we create lightweight yet heavy-duty trays with anti-static, UV-resistant, and temperature-tolerant properties (-40°C to 120°C). Benefit from rapid prototyping services, bulk production capacities (50,000+ units/month), and eco-conscious PET/PP/rPET material options. Partner with us to optimize your packaging logistics with stackable, nestable designs that reduce shipping costs by up to 35%. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies, our end-to-end service ensures compliance with ISO 13485, BRCGS, and FDA 21 CFR standards.

What is Cut Sheet Thermoforming?

Cut Sheet Thermoforming is a specialized manufacturing process that involves heating pre-cut plastic sheets to a malleable state and forming them into desired shapes using molds and vacuum or pressure techniques. This method is ideal for producing a wide range of products, from thin-gauge disposable items to heavy-gauge industrial components

Key Advantages

High Detail and Precision: Cut Sheet Thermoforming allows for sharp, crisp lines and intricate details, making it ideal for products requiring high cosmetic standards.

Cost-Effective: Compared to injection molding, thermoforming offers significant cost savings in tooling and production, especially for medium to large-sized parts.

Versatility: Our process supports a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from thin-gauge sheets for disposable packaging to heavy-gauge sheets for durable industrial components.

Quick Turnaround: Faster production times and flexibility in design adjustments make Cut Sheet Thermoforming an efficient choice for both prototyping and full-scale production
