The Advantages of Vacuum Forming For Customised Packaging

  • Design Freedom: Vacuum forming transforms flat plastic panels into intricate 3D components, maximising packaging performance
  • Aesthetics: Utilise pre-coloured, textured plastic to achieve a high-quality finish, elevating your brand’s packaging
  • Economical for Large Parts: Vacuum forming is a cost effective solution to moulding large parts
  • Low-cost tooling: Compared to alternative moulding processes, vacuum forming tooling costs can be as low as 10%
  • Swift and Cost-Effective Start-Up: Our approach ensures a quick and efficient start up – from prototyping and low-volume production batches to full scale manufacture
  • Ideal for Small Volume Runs: Even for small production quantities, vacuum forming remains a budget friendly choice for packaging
  • Seamless design transfer: Intricate design features and details can be added directly from the moulding tool, illuminating the requirement for secondary processes
  • No weight restrictions: We can handle components of varying sizes and weights
  • Undercuts possible: Our specialised moulding techniques allow for undercuts in your packaging design
  • Cost-effective alternative: In most cases, plastic vacuum forming provides more-cost effective than injection moulding
