Introduction
What is Thermoforming ?
Thermoforming is a process of heating a thermoplastic sheet to its softening point. The sheet is stretched across a single-sided mold and then manipulated. Then, it cools into the desired shape.
Thermoforming describes the process of heating a thermoplastic sheet to its softening point, stretching it over or into a single-sided mold, and holding it in place while it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. The thermoplastic sheet is clamped into a holding device and heated by an oven using either convection or radiant heat until it is softened. The sheet is then held horizontally over a mold and pressed into or stretched over the mold using vacuum pressure, air pressure, or mechanical force. The softened sheet conforms to the shape of the mold and is held in place until it cools. The excess material is then trimmed away and the formed part is released. Excess material can be reground, mixed with unused plastic, and reformed into thermoplastic sheets.
Examples of Thermoforming Products
Thermoform Applications
The thermoforming process can be used in a wide variety of applications as well. Some of the most common ones include but are not limited to:
- Retail clamshell packaging
- Packaging blisters
- Pick and place trays
- Material and handling trays and covers
- Shipping trays
- Medical packaging
- Pop displays
- Packaging inserts
Advantages of thermoforming
Thermoforming holds many advantages that make it a favorable process over other types of molding. Some of these advantages include:
Benefits of Thermoforming
Primary Material
PP (Polypropylene)
This material has excellent chemical resistance. It is rigid and has good impact strength. It is good at higher temperatures but dimensionally is not as stable as other materials.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
This material is commonly used food packaging. It is clear and has a low cost. It can be FDA certified if needed.
PC (Polycarbonate)
This material has an incredibly high impact strength. It is clear and has a high-temperature resistance.
