Industrial Packaging FAQs
What materials are best for industrial thermoformed trays?
We commonly use HIPS, HDPE, PET, and ABS depending on your requirements for impact resistance, chemical resistance, and cost. Our team will recommend the optimal material for your application.
Can industrial trays be designed for automation?
Yes. All our trays can be engineered for robotic handling, consistent orientation, stackability, and seamless integration with automated assembly lines.
What is the maximum size for custom industrial trays?
We can produce trays up to 30" × 36" with material thickness ranging from 0.015" to 0.060".
Are your industrial packaging solutions reusable?
Absolutely. Many of our trays are designed for repeated use, helping customers reduce waste and lower long-term packaging costs.
