Vacuum Formed Protective Packaging
The safety of the product during transportation is the most significant aspect of protective packaging. We specialise in using the best possible vehicle test machine for our bespoke vacuum-formed plastic protective packaging.
Our professionals in the field ensure each product is given a drop-test on multiple surfaces to comply with all legal requirements and specifications.
The drop-tests we do are to keep all products and items safe from potential transportation damage.
Depending on the vehicle they are travelling in or the number of deliveries they are transported with, it is possible your company products, like electronics, tooling and foods, may get dropped or battered about during the journey.
With our professional team of qualified designers, we are aware of how to design and produce efficient packaging that enhances the stability of your products so that you can guarantee no matter what happens to your packages, the items inside will stay intact or not be distorted.
We do this by using crumple zones that allow for shock absorption alongside plastic thermoforming, a plastic manufacturing method that applies extreme force.
The heat stretches the plastic sheets to create 3-dimensional shapes that perfectly fit your shape item or product, making it immovable during transit.
We must check how your products hold up and whether or not they remain safe during all types of transit, and we do this using numerous methods and techniques that we have learnt over our many years of experience in the vacuum forming field.

What are the advantages of vacuum forming?
Flexibility
Vaccum-formed packaging can be personalised to suit any of your products or any particular product shape. Plastic packaging can be custom-made by our professionals, no matter the shape or size.
We reject the idea of cookie-cutter packaging solutions as anything could happen to your items during the journey when they are put into a standard package.
Whatever your product requires or needs to keep it perfectly in place, we can provide. Many companies across the UK choose to use vacuum-formed packaging due to its extreme versatility; it is ideal for anything you are selling.
Meets Regulations
Food, drug products and industrial machines have numerous safety packaging vacuum regulations to comply with and adhere to to ensure they can sell them to customers on the market.
Whilst vacuum-formed packaging can be used for virtually any product as it is so versatile and high-quality, each package still must meet rigorous regulatory requirements.
Thus our experts design them to suit all varied industries and related products on the market.
More product, less packaging
Proper, compliant packaging suitable for all kinds of products is an exact process.
A single mistake or poor design choice that does not fit the product type could cost us hundreds and potentially thousands in unnecessary materials and result in overall waste, which isn't the best for us, the customers or the environment.
Vacuum-formed packaging has insurance against all potential costly mistakes and allows us to prevent these issues from occurring. Our vacuum-formed packaging can also be recycled easier than other forms of packaging.
Due to the careful packaging tailored to form around your particular product, there is often minimal opportunities for waste or mistakes along the way.
Our methods and techniques of packaging make vacuum-forming a fantastic, cost-effective choice for those searching for a way to deliver products without unnecessary, harmful extra plastic.
Brand recognition
Packaging is a considerable aspect that contributes to advertising and customer appeal.
Suppose you choose to spend significant amounts on print, online adverts and commercials or numerous other types of advertisements.
In that case, these are essential and wise choices that promote your product in practical ways.
However, if you also take time to solidify your brand by making your packaging stand out to be identifiable to your customers, you will likely achieve more sales.
Our vacuum-formed packaging allows you to create a unique shape and packaging for your product so that you can make a fantastic new impression amongst your competition.
Durability
In the modern world, companies can now ship their products and stock worldwide, over vast distances. Choosing a delicate material to package your product in it is a risky move as you could end up damaging it severely and lose out on mediums and money in the long run.
Through the transportation process or during shelving, your product could get badly damaged. The wear and tear on your units that end up on shelves could affect how customers view your product or items and potentially put them off a purchase.
Vaccum-formed plastic packaging is popular as it's incredibly durable during the journey; it maintains its initial shape when put through any extreme conditions.
Through harsh elements and man-handling, your product will stay protected within the vehicle and on shelves. Another great benefit of its durability is its ability to shelter your product and keep it in shape allows it to be more attractive to potential buyers and customers, therefore bringing in much more profit.
