Thermoformed Tray

Multi-functional Thermoformed Clear Plastic Tray Saves Mold Costs

VisiPak was approached by a manufacturer of products for critical cleaning devices. The manufacturer's concern was for the handling and packaging of its brush rollers. VisiPak responded with one of its most innovative designs. The brush rollers are now contained in a thermoformed clear plastic tray providing high value to protecting the sensitive product.

Although product protection and minimizing movement of the product is paramount in this concept, the reciprocal snap-perimeter design of the tray is what makes it most effective. The tray actually snaps to itself when placed in an opposing position, forming an excellent seal. The innovative design feature of the clear plastic tray allows for the production of a single tool, thus eliminating thousands of dollars in mold and die costs.

The combined elements of all features results in a plastic shipping tray, which then forms a shipping container keeping the product free of dust and debris. The new plastic tray packaging is formed from eco-friendly .035 PET for a rigid part with a crystal-clear appearance allowing for visible inspection in each phase of the developmental process.
