Thermoforming is one of the most adaptable and cost-effective ways to create high-quality products for today’s manufacturers. This process involves heating a plastic sheet, then laying it down over a mold to create the desired shape. As a result, this manufacturing method can create a variety of packaging products for companies in all kinds of industries. If you’re looking into packaging solutions, you might be wondering if thermoforming products are the best fit for you. In this blog, we’ll highlight the most common types of thermoformed packaging, helping you make the right decision for your needs.
Types of Thermoformed Packaging Products
Blister Packs
Blister packs are commonly used for items like medications, batteries, and small electronics. They have a plastic cavity that holds individual items, which is then held together by a backing. Think of a tray of pills you might pull out of a box of over-the-counter medicine. Each pill is encased in a plastic blister, which protects the product from damage. These are effective at keeping the products in pristine condition until they reach the customer, and provide a convenient way to access them when needed.
Clamshells
A clamshell is a two-part container that hinges together. These are most commonly used for food, toys, and electronics. You might see an example of this type of packaging in the prepared food section of your local supermarket. Items like sandwiches will often be enclosed in this packaging, which can then be opened and resealed by the consumer after purchase.
Trays
Thermoformed trays typically have multiple cavities or compartments to hold different items separately. The cavities may vary in size and depth depending on the tray’s purpose. These are commonly used for food, but might also be used for electronics, medical needs, or retail products.
