Why Choose Thermoforming?
In today’s fast-moving production world, many businesses need packaging that is not just functional but can help their businesses progress without having to cut costs. Here, we find the answer to be thermoforming – a process that is very quickly becoming the solution for industries spanning from automotive to beauty and everything in between.
So, what exactly are the benefits that are causing more companies to switch to thermoforming? Let us break it down:
💸 1. Lower Tooling Costs: One of the biggest advantages of thermoforming is the low cost of mold production, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. The process of thermoforming begins with an aluminum mold, which when compared to other forms of molding, is significantly less expensive for smaller companies that require custom molds.
🧩 2. Custom Tooling Fits: Whether you are looking for protective trays for automotive parts or packaging for cosmetics materials, Custom Tray can provide for your company’s needs. Using 3D modeling, we can design and machine our tooling in-house with flexibility to create unique shapes, sizes, and branding elements to suit your needs.
🔁 3. Fast Turnaround Time: At Custom Tray, we are known for our quick turnaround time for our customers. With shorter lead times for tooling and setup, we can go from 3D part modeling to production in just 4-6 weeks, as opposed to the 8–14-week lead time in other forming industries. This makes us the perfect company for businesses looking to move quickly in production or to market changes.
🌍 4. Sustainable Options: Many of the materials used to create our custom trays are made of materials that are often reusable and recyclable, making our products not only adaptable to various industries, but also eco-friendly.
Overall, thermoforming provides the perfect balance between cost, quality, and speed for manufacturers in a variety of industries. So, whether you are a small business looking for the best way to begin your production process or a manufacturer that is looking for packaging to accurately reflect your product’s quality, thermoforming with Custom Tray is a reliable and cost-effective solution.
