Thermoforming
Basic thermoforming is available via our Zed. Three different deep draw cavities are installed. Both vacuum and plug assist forming is available with radiant heating.
Our Mactec blister former has been heavily modified to form trays from 1.0" to 2.5" deep. This is designed for contact heating. Films with a 5.0 inch width can be formed here using air and plug assist depending on the tooling. A heated plug assist is also available.

We can also test haze, transmittance, and gloss in-house. However, we do not condition samples beforehand.
