There is a lot to consider when thinking about the package design for a product, which can be a vital part in determining how to best store, distribute, sell and ultimately consume or use your product. Due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness and functionality, many brands and commercial companies turn to thermoforming as an excellent production option for their packaging or application. Whether it’s a clamshell, blister, Virtuweld or a retail display (point-of-sale), commercial or packaging transport tray, here are some key benefits of custom thermoform packaging:
- Branding and Design Flexibility: Thermoforming offers a variety of ways to incorporate custom branding to sell the product or provide more information to the end user / consumer.
- Product Interaction: Because of its pliancy, thermoforming can be molded into place or cut out in various ways that allow customers or users to test, interact or engage with the product.
- Product Protection: Thermoforming is a durable and resilient packaging option that will protect products while in transit, while maintaining its shelf appeal.
- Tamper-Resistance: There are many seal options to consider with thermoforming that range from an easy snap button close to a fully sealed edge, depending on the packaging need.
- Cost-effectiveness: Thermoforming is an efficient option due to the low-cost nature of the materials.
- Production Efficiency & Speedy Turnaround: Whether it’s a small or large volume job, the thermoforming process is considered a low-cost manufacturing option by many brands and companies.
- Sustainable: There are sustainable options for thermoforming, both on the production and materials side of things. Whether the facility has sustainable practices with recycling, or they are using sustainable materials to create your packaging, there are options to consider on the sustainable front.
