Vacuum Forming And Moulding For High Volume Items

Often display items and commercial projects demand a 'hybrid' approach with a choice of materials which can include vacuum formed components.Our UK-based in-house Vacuum forming capability allows us to manufacture a wide range of high volume items for retail point of sale display and also to manufacture plastic components, trays, inserts and other items for many different industries. By heating plastic and stretching it on a mould then forcing air out through a vacuum, HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) and other materials can be formed into items like containers, display products, trays, shelves and bespoke components.High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) comes in a variety of colours to enable lots of projects to come to life. Once the items are mass produced on a mould over the vacuum forming machines, they are then trimmed back and hand-finished.Blow Moulding is similar to vacuum forming. Through utilising this option, we place plastic in a special frame, then heat it and force air into the frame to form a shape. This way a Sphere or Dome can be formed. Blow Moulded Spheres and Domes are perfect for retail display items or commercial use.
