PVC
PVC is a versatile and cost-effective workhorse in thermoforming, known for its excellent clarity, rigidity, and ability to be easily printed or laminated. It is commonly used for durable clamshell packaging, point-of-purchase displays, and protective trays for consumer goods. While offering good dimensional stability, material selection should consider its environmental profile and specific regulatory approvals for intended use.

PET
Often referred to as PETG in sheet form, this material is prized for its exceptional toughness, high clarity, and inherent chemical resistance. It is the ideal choice for packaging requiring drop resistance (like tool cases), medical device trays needing autoclave compatibility, and any application where visual appeal and durability are paramount. PETG also offers good formability for deeper draws.

PP
Polypropylene stands out for its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and favorable fatigue resistance, making it suitable for living hinge applications. It is a lightweight, food-safe choice for containers, lids, and laboratory equipment trays. While naturally opaque, it can be produced in translucent or colored variants and offers good impact strength at a low cost.

APET
ABS is an engineering-grade thermoplastic valued for its high impact strength, rigidity, and superior surface finish with a glossy appearance. It is the material of choice for durable, structural parts like automotive interior components, protective equipment cases, and high-end appliance housings where aesthetics and toughness are critical.

PS
General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) is a low-cost, crystal-clear material with high rigidity but inherent brittleness. It is typically used for disposable food containers, clear lids, and low-stress display packaging where extreme clarity is needed but high impact resistance is not.

PLA
PLA allows brands to make a strong environmental statement. Ideal for premium food trays, clear windows in cartons, and compostable blister packs, it bridges performance with sustainability. We provide guidance on its unique processing requirements to ensure optimal results for your green initiatives.

CPET
Crystallized-PET is engineered for high-temperature resistance, maintaining rigidity in microwave and conventional ovens up to 220°C. It is the standard material for dual-ovenable food trays, ready-meal packaging, and any application requiring thermal stability. CPET is typically opaque white but can be colored, offering excellent barrier properties and dimensional stability under heat.

ABS
ABS is an engineering-grade thermoplastic prized for its exceptional impact strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability. It combines the hardness of acrylonitrile and styrene with the toughness of polybutadiene, resulting in a material that withstands significant stress. This makes it the premier choice for demanding applications such as automotive interior trim, protective electronic enclosures, rugged tool cases, and durable luggage shells where structural integrity is non-negotiable. Beyond durability, ABS offers a smooth, glossy surface finish suitable for painting or plating, enhancing both function and aesthetic
