Custom Heavy Gauge Trays for Robotic Automation
Blue Ridge Thermoforming (BRT USA) in Greenville, SC makes custom heavy-gauge thermoformed trays with part orientation for robotic pick-and-place.
Automation-ready design means part orientation and pocket design optimized for robotic pick-and-place systems. Blue Ridge Thermoforming designs and manufactures custom heavy gauge thermoformed material handling trays and returnable packaging systems that protect high-value parts and replace disposable packaging with reusable, automation-compatible trays and totes. This is part of our heavy gauge thermoforming work in Greenville, SC.

Trays for manufacturing and automation environments maintain precise part orientation for downstream processes, reduce handling time, and support high-throughput automation and robotic workflows, with protection from impact, abrasion, and vibration.
All material handling trays can be engineered for robotic compatibility, precise part orientation, and integration with automated workflows. Custom trays are engineered around how parts actually move, from production lines to shipping and back again.
Returnable systems are built for reuse, optimized for return logistics and closed-loop systems, and designed to eliminate expendable packaging waste. They are engineered for consistent performance in automotive, industrial, and internal material flow. Materials commonly used are HDPE and HMWPE for impact resistance and longevity, ABS for structural rigidity and surface quality, and PET or PETG where visibility or dimensional stability is needed. The work is done in Greenville, SC, with in-house design, tooling, and 5-axis CNC trimming under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality processes.

FAQs
Can your trays be designed for automation?
Yes. All our material handling trays are engineered for robotic compatibility, precise part orientation, and seamless integration with automated workflows.
What is the advantage of returnable packaging over disposable packaging?
Returnable systems dramatically reduce long-term costs, minimize waste, protect parts better, and improve logistics efficiency over hundreds of cycles.
What materials are best for returnable trays?
HDPE, HMWPE, and ABS are most common for their impact resistance, durability, and ability to withstand repeated use.
