Thermoforming is the process of heating material, commonly thermo-plastic or paper, until it can be molded to the desired form. This is most commonly achieved through pressure forming, vacuum forming, or mechanical forming. The applications of thermoforming are vast and include food, industrial, medical packaging, and e-commerce industries. One of the main draws of thermoforming is that it is very adaptable to a customer's design needs. With a fast turnaround time, it can be used for last-minute shipments or as a quick way to develop a prototype.
