Vacuum Forming

Vacuum Forming

Vacuum forming is a method that is used to form a range of plastics. Vacuum forming is cost effective and high quality.
The benefit of plastic vacuum forming is its versatility. It offers a good price, performance and rate of production. Prototypes can be created promptly and properly. These are used to prove components before full production tooling is needed.
Pressure Forming

Pressure Forming

Pressure forming is an innovative plastic production process. In this method, a plastic sheet is formed into a complex and detailed shape. Pressure forming is an improvement to the vacuum forming process.
With conventional vacuum forming, the components are formed by creating a vacuum on the mould side of the sheet. The air pressure is 14.7 extra pounds per square inch (PSI). This is the theoretical maximum forming stress readily available with vacuum forming.

Our experience of Plastics By Design and their customer service has been outstanding. They have offered innovative design solutions to our demanding low cost packaging requirements. The lead time from concept to the supply of finished product from production tooling was both competitively fast and most importantly on time. Plastics By Design has made us feel like a valued customer and we are confident in their ability to assist/ solve any vacuum formed packaging requirements that we may have in the future. We would happily recommend Plastics By Design as a supplier & intend to use them again for future vacuum formed packaging trays.
