Finding Custom Packaging Solutions For Businesses

By Lenna Stockwell


If you have a product to sell, you definitely need some type of custom product packaging and there are many reasons why customer thermoform packaging might be the best solution for your product. Here are a few reasons why it's wise to contact a thermoforming company and get the design process started.

Thermoforming is a process of heating some types of plastic up to a particular temperature after which this is then molded into a specific shape. This can be for producing blister packs for some products or clamshell packaging or any type, size and style of packaging that you want. Thermoforming companies like Indepak can produce these types of thermoform mold or practically any type that will fit your needs.

There are many advantages to using plastic thermoforming to create your packages. For one thing, plastic is a sturdy material that protects your product while at the same time, it is quite lightweight. When you reduce weight, you automatically reduce the cost of shipping, which can have a very positive effect on your bottom line.

Another advantage is that with thermoform packaging, you can have the exact fit for your products, thus you can also have the streamlined packs and with less waste. Plastic is clear and with this, prospective customers can see what they are buying. If the product you are selling is a toy, the blister pack will not only protect this product but also customers can look at this, thus, children as well as the parents can get induced to buy.

Thermoform packaging is a good idea and another reason why this is good is its sustainability. All thermoform plastics can be recycled and this can be done again and again, thus you don't have to worry about plastics not being environmentally friendly because these can be recycled. You can have plastic packaging with recycled contents because your thermoforming company can give you many options. You can also have the bio-degradable plastic packaging or other plastic bio-based materials.

Two choices that are most easily recycled are polyethylene terephthalate and high-density polyethylene. These are identified with resin codes of 1 and 2, respectively. Most cities in the United States that have curbside recycling programs will accept any plastic with these two codes. The first, polyethylene terephthalate or PETE or PET is the most commonly accepted plastic for recycling. However, all thermoformed plastics can be recycled and more and more cities are widening their programs to accept a larger selection of plastics.
