Vacuum Forming Plastics    
Production facilities throughout the world are learning how to use vacuum formed (thermoformed) packaging effectively.  A multitude of products such as stereos, shoes and auto parts bought from local stores are shipped from manufacturers on pallets.  In addition, many manufacturers ship their unfinished products from one factory to another on plastic pallets.

Place Materials in Vacuum Formed Packaging
Most retailers participate in promotions and special marketing programs with their business partners. These partnerships create packaging challenges for warehouse workers that need to pack T-shirts, flyers and other promotional items into boxes.  Using properly packed plastic containers or totes placed on vacuum formed pallets is the best way to ensure a safe trip for merchandise.   A thermoformed lid can be used in conjunction with seatbelts for securing the entire pack.

New products may require special packaging and unique containers. Some companies use thick plastic packaging on electronics and sensitive parts to ensure safe delivery to retail outlets. The size of the typical product box has increased in recent years due to larger instruction manuals, packaging materials and a wider range of included accessories. Thermoformed pallets are available in many different sizes to accommodate any company’s requirements.  If a standard size doesn’t already exist, top end pallet suppliers can design and prototype any size needed.  Some companies, such as Robinson Industries, have produced pallets as large as 15 by 10 feet.
