Vacuum Forming or thermoforming has become one of our most popular plastic fabrication methods. Vacuum forming is the act of heating sheets of plastic in a frame and pulling it over a mold. Once this is done, the vacuum removes the excess air and the material is formed to the shape of the mold. Vacuum forming will give the product a professional appearance and is very cost effective.
Typically, the tooling or mold costs for vacuum forming are about 75% less expensive than injection molding. This allows our clients to get into their market faster and with less start up costs. An added benefit of our facility is that we can produce molds or tooling in house. Our customers don'?t need to use multiple companies to complete the job. We are a one stop job shop. We have the ability to fabricate tooling from wood, resin, or aluminum.
Our facility houses 3 ovens to meet the needs of our customers. Our 2' x 2' oven is great for smaller products such as clamshell packaging and low profile pieces. The 4' x 4' oven is our most popular unit. Most products are formed in this oven because the height can be adjusted and the formed products can vary in size up to 48". The 4' x 8' oven is generally used for large quantity runs or for oversized products. What ever your vacuum forming needs, we can help.
