Point of purchase displays, product showcases, signage bases, and custom thin gauge packaging for retail and CPG brands.

Retail display thermoforming puts product front and center — clear clamshells that deter theft while showcasing packaging graphics, formed display bases that lift product on shelf, and custom trays that make unboxing part of the brand experience. Point-of-purchase display thermoforming is a high-volume, fast-turn segment where thin gauge cycle time and tooling economics beat almost every alternative.
Custom packaging thermoform programs for retail typically specify PETG or PVC for clarity, HIPS for cost-sensitive applications, and RF-sealable flanges for form-fill-seal lines. Hang-hole placement, seal flange width, and cavity depth are designed for automated filling and retail peg requirements.
Beyond packaging, thermoformed display stands, bins, and glorifiers organize product on shelf and countertop. PETG clarity and color options support brand graphics; formed shapes guide shopper attention. Seasonal programs benefit from aluminum tooling that can be stored and re-run for annual promotions.
CPG brands are specifying recycled PETG and recyclable mono-material designs to meet retailer and EPR requirements. Early collaboration on flange design, film compatibility, and recycled-content aesthetics prevents launch delays — see our sustainable materials article for qualification guidance.
Custom shape, high clarity, integrated display features, scalable volume, relatively fast tooling for new SKUs.
Very simple folded paperboard or flexible film-only packs where structure and display rigidity are not required.
We run thin gauge blister, clamshell, and custom display programs with sustainable material options.
PETG is the default for clarity and toughness. HIPS is used where cost dominates and opacity is acceptable. Material choice depends on seal method, sustainability targets, and retailer requirements.
Prototype and short-run tools are often ready within a few weeks. Production aluminum cavities for high-volume SKUs typically require several weeks to a few months depending on complexity and cavity count.
Yes — rPETG and rPET grades are increasingly specified. Validate clarity, seal strength, and color with forming trials before committing to a retail launch.
Yes. We support thin gauge clamshells, blisters, trays, and formed display components for retail and CPG brands.
