What is Vacuum Formed Plastic Packaging?

Vacuum Forming is an excellent way of making incredible packaging out of rigid plastic. In the vacuum-forming process, a sheet of plastic is heated until it is soft and pliable and then placed over a mold. A vacuum then pulled out the soft sheet into the mold. The sheet is allowed to cool and is then removed from the mold.

Multiple Uses of Vacuum Former

 A vacuum former is used for several purposes like designing plastic parts, custom molds or products by shaping thin sheets of plastic into desired shapes or forms using vacuum pressure. Vacuum forming is the simplest form of plastic thermoforming that only requires mold and plastic to be placed over it. A vacuum former is required in various manufacturing and fabrication processes, including:

· Chocolate Making

· Display Packaging

· Small Business Application

· Automotive Parts

· Aerospace Parts

· Letter & Logos in Signage

· Transit Trays

· Games & Construction Sets

· Toy & Cosmetic Tray Inserts

· Spectacle and Jewellery Case Inserts

· Door Skin Panels and various other products

How Does a Vacuum Forming Machine Work?

A vacuum-forming machine works by shaping plastic sheets into desired shapes or forms using vacuum pressure. Here are the list of processes involved in the vacuum-forming process:

1. Preparing the mold: The first and foremost important step of the vacuum-forming process is preparing the mold or template on which the plastic will be shaped around.

2. Heating the plastic sheet: In the second step, a thin sheet of plastic is heated until it becomes soft and pliable to be shaped into several objects. For this, several techniques can be used including infrared heaters, heating lamps or ovens.

3. Placing the plastic sheet: The heated plastic sheet is then placed over the mold, either manually or using an automated system.

4. Creating the vacuum: Once the plastic sheet is positioned correctly, the air from the space between the plastic sheet and the mold is then removed using a vacuum pump. This helps create a vacuum, which pulls the plastic sheet tightly against the mold and shapes it into the shape or form you desire.

5. Cooling and removing the part: Once the plastic has been shaped, it is allowed to cool and harden into the desired shape or form. Then the vacuum is released and the part is taken out from the mold.

How Vacuum Formed Packaging Can Be Useful?

Vacuum-formed trays, inserts or other components make an ideal packaging solution as it allows to keep the products as it is and also make them look attractive. From chocolate boxes, toys, to packaging toiletries, cosmetics and perfumes, this style of packaging is quite popular among different industries. Trays and inserts can be designed to be stackable for ease of shipping and storage or with handles or embossed information.
