Production Capabilities and Tolerances
Thin Gauge Roll Fed High Speed Custom Thermoforming (Heavy Gauge Sheet Fed Below)
-
Material thickness: 0.005" to 0.080"
-
Maximum form area: 29" x 48" x 7" draw
-
Materials: R-PET, PLA, HIPS, HMWPE, PVC, PP, XLPP and Barrier films for Pharmaceutical applications, anti-static, and other thermoformable materials. Most offered in clear or colours as well as virgin or recycled grades, including 100% post consumer PET (recycled pop bottles).
-
Multi-layer cutting: (i.e. cutouts to feel the product in a package).
-
Match metal punching for very accurate, angel-hair free cutting. This also enables us to cut contours or curved surfaces.
-
Parts for automatic feed applications, with heat seal tooling for most commonly used sealing machines. When we supply both tooling and blisters, we guarantee feed-ability.
-
Parts for radio frequency, sonic, UV gluing and most other tamper proofing methods.
-
Embossing for recycle logos or marketing features.
-
Printed part (via distortion printing or "Contour Printing") prior to forming and trimming (registering print). Available in most materials.
-
Sub assembly such as labelling and unique trimming operations.
-
Standard tolerances of 0.010" form, 0.015" cut size, 0.030" cut registration.
-
Plug assisted forming allowing material to be pushed into areas requiring additional strength or enabling the material thickness to be reduced, decreasing your part cost.
-
In-house CAD-CAM, prototyping and production tools.
Heavy Gauge Sheet Fed Custom Thermoforming
-
Material thickness: 0.020" to 0.500"
-
Maximum form area: 52" x 120" x 36" draw
-
Materials: ABS, HIPS, PE, HMWPE, PP, Acrylics, PVC, PET and others. Most offered in clear or coloured, virgin or recycled grades, weather or heat resistant, and flame retardant capabilities. Some materials are available in chemical resistance form.
-
Trimming: via 5 axis CNC router, 110 ton press die cutting, and other off line techniques.
-
Plug assisted forming allowing material to be pushed into areas requiring additional strength or enabling the material thickness to be reduced, decreasing your part cost.
- Post forming assembly operations.
