Design

Your success from our creativity.

Design work begins with your specifications regarding fit, function, price point and stylistic preferences. We then use our imagination and experience to design a custom clamshell, tray or blister package that will set your product apart from your competition.

Our designers have years of experience wrapping thermoformed plastic around everything from spinal catheters to screwdrivers to tomatoes. We are confident we can find an excellent presentation for your product.

FormTight designers use the SolidWorks Office Suite as a primary design tool. We have the capability to transmit and receive files in a multitude of formats to ensure easy communication with both you, our customer, and our tool-making partners.

Through the use of the Solidworks Office Suite we have the ability to provide you with a 3-dimensional interactive model of your custom thermoformed package. This allows anyone with a computer to view, zoom, spin, and animate your thermoformed packaging. This is an excellent way to collaborate with others and ensure proper design elements before we approach the prototyping phase. Please download a sample file of a stock clamshell  for a demonstration of this powerful tool.

Additionally, we have recently added a 3-axis vertical milling machine and the MasterCam X4 software package to our design studio. This allows us to respond to your design needs even faster than before. MasterCam is the premier CAD/CAM software available. Bolstered by it's harmonious relationship with SolidWorks, we are able to give you a thermoformed package that matches your expectations.
