Handling Efficiency 

There are many advantages to using vacuum-formed trays to improve your project's productivity and efficiently handle your products or items. 

Light Weight

Vacuum-formed packaging inserts are incredibly lightweight, meaning they do not significantly impact the ease of handling the container or exterior tote nor impact overall safety.

Layers

You can also layer your components within the tote tray to provide further productivity in your industry or company as you increase the number of parts you are moving during a trip or shipping journey. 

Removable Sections

Components can also be easily removed whilst maintaining their overall shape and retaining all contents inside the tray.

Vacuum-formed trays offer fantastic protection suitable for all kinds of specific components or parts. You can also layer outer containers for the same purposes. The design in and of itself means the parts nest when not in use, allowing for more efficient transits and saving storage space.   

Our clients can also effectively mould the vacuum-formed trays we supply. You may add batch numbers or parts to them alongside other necessary or significant information to aid your items on the production line.

Tooling and sampling costs are often much higher than plastic division sets or comparable foam dunnage; however, vacuum-formed trays are ideal for those companies or customers with higher volume requirements due to their low unit costs.

Damage protection Transit tray manufacturing

Damage protection  

One of your priorities when searching for packaging trays and materials is minimising any potential damage that could occur during the shipping process. There are many apparent benefits of reducing the potential for harm when it comes to your products or components.

However, eliminating wastage, minimising the amount of stock that must be replaced, repaired or rejected overall helps you reduce your costs, increase your profit, and positively assist your business reputation. It would be not very good for businesses to receive news that when your package arrived at the store or to a hopeful customer, it wasn't in a useable or good enough condition.

When the quality of your products is at a high standard, more customers are likely to invest.  

The final benefit to consider is that vacuum-formed trays are chemical and water-resistant and easily cleaned due to being manufactured from plastic materials. Such a thing is fantastic for reusability and enhances its level of protection. 

Faulty products can often leak fluids like oils or other substances. In contrast, the vacuum-formed tray keeps all liquids contained, preventing any spillage or contamination of other products or parts inside its container, which is also much better for the environment.

Custom vacuum formed trays

Whilst it is entirely possible to source vacuum-formed trays with standard recesses or pockets, the genuine benefits of vac-formed inserts are in its wide range of available customisation options to choose from. 

Our team of professionals can closely modify the shape of the recesses or pockets to fit any product or a specific part. Such a thing offers further protection by minimising any potential movement as solidified during transit or handling. 

Similarly to this, our experts can alter and adjust any vac-formed packaging recess layout to match any items for optimum efficiency whilst handling the tote or tray.

Vaccum-formed tote trays provide a wide range of personalisation options, including material type, stacking features, numerous colours and many more.

Stacking lugs allow several layers of the product to stay contained in a single tote and nest to free up storage space when they are not constantly used. 

 Our use of multiple different material colours allows you to select vacuum-formed packaging and trays that suit your company or small business branding. It is helpful to forget this stage when investing in 

Our team can partake in the additional moulding of part numbers, labelling or instructions to assist outsiders in distinguishing your industrial products.    

Finally, our qualified professionals can create an anti-static tray using ESD safe products and materials. ESD materials are an excellent solution for secure storage of your machines, electronics and products, and safe handling. They also work incredibly well with GWP's conductive products.
