Advantages of Heavy Gauge thermoforming
(also known as thick sheet vacuum forming)
More cost-effective for smaller volume runs
The price advantage comes from two key benefits of thermoforming: 1) Lower tooling costs, and 2) Flexible tooling and molding setups that make design changes quicker and less labor-intensive.
durable and high quality
Thermoformed products are built to last—unlike metal, they won’t rust, and unlike fiberglass, they won’t crack. They're strong, durable, and made for long-term performance.
Quicker Lead Time
Thermoforming offers much faster lead times and prototyping compared to injection molding. Plus,our in-house facilities allow for greater control over quality and efficiency.
Lower Tooling Cost
Thermoforming uses lower pressure, which means lower tooling costs and simpler equipment. This reduces upfront investment for prototyping and product development. Plus, with our in-house tooling shop, we speed up the entire process.
Lightweight products increase sustainability and efficiency
Lighter than metal, more efficient than fiberglass — our thermoformed parts help cut down logistics costs and improve handling efficiency.
Small or large products are possible
With the possibility to create sheets of varied sizes and countless different molds, thermoforming can create parts big or small.
