Thin Gauge Thermoforming & Packaging Solutions
Lightweight • Cost-Effective • High-Performance Packaging upto 2mm
Thin gauge thermoforming is the preferred choice for creating lightweight, durable, and cost-effective packaging solutions. Using thermoplastic sheets ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 mm, this process enables intricate designs, high clarity, and reliable protection for food, medical, electronics, and consumer goods. From blister packs and clamshells to ESD trays and disposable containers, thin gauge thermoforming is versatile, scalable, and sustainable.
Key Benefits:
-
🌍 Lightweight & Sustainable – Uses less plastic per part, reducing cost and environmental impact.
-
💰 Cost-Effective Tooling – Molds are faster and cheaper to produce compared to injection molding.
-
⚡ High-Speed Production – Ideal for large-volume packaging runs with consistent quality.
-
🔍 Design Flexibility – Can form complex shapes, fine details, and transparent parts.
-
♻️ Material Versatility – Compatible with PET, PETG, HIPS, PP, PLA, and specialty ESD/antistatic plastics.
-
🛡 Product Protection – Creates strong, tamper-resistant, and hygienic enclosures for sensitive products.
-
🏭 Wide Applications – From food trays and medical packs to retail clamshells and electronic housings.

Thin Gauge Thermoforming Process
01.
Material Selection
Choose optimal thermoplastic sheets (0.2-2.0mm) based on application requirements including temperature resistance and flexibility.
03.
Clamping & Forming
Secure heated sheet in mold using vacuum or mechanical clamping, then form into desired shape using pressure or vacuum.
05.
Trimming & Finishing
Remove excess material and apply finishing processes including surface texturing, printing, or specialized coatings.
02.
Sheet Heating
Precisely heat thermoplastic sheets using infrared or convection methods until they reach optimal forming temperature.
04.
Cooling & Setting
Rapidly cool formed part using air or water cooling systems to solidify and maintain the final shape. Eject the part as it reaches the desired temperature
06.
Quality Control
Comprehensive inspection ensuring dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and compliance with industry standards.
