An Introduction Thermoformed Plastic Pallets

A major mainstay of the returnable plastic packaging industry is heavy gauge thermoforming.

Although it does not usually produce cutting edge design, it can be counted on for durability and dependability. Although it has been around for a long time, thermoforming of plastic pallets and trays is still often misunderstood. It is hard to understand why some people are reluctant to try this long lasting and reasonably priced returnable packaging.

One reason may be that people assume that plastic pallets and trays that have been produced using heavy gauge thermoforming may carry the heavy price tag for tooling associated with injection molding. People may also thing that thermoforming takes as long to produce as injection molding, which is not the case. There is usually a very moderate price tag associated with returnable plastic pallets and trays tooling, often less than $7500. As for time, you can usually get your thermoformed plastic pallets or trays within four weeks, depending on your design.
