Types of Thermoformed Retail Packaging
We manufacture several types of plastic thermoformed packaging, and the right format depends on your product's size, weight, retail environment, and display requirements.
Clamshell Packaging
Clamshell packaging is ideal for products that require full visibility and added protection. The hinged design opens and closes securely, making them popular for hardware, electronics accessories, personal care items, and consumer goods. We form clamshells in both thin and thick gauge, depending on how much structural support your product needs.
Blister Packs
Blister packaging pairs a formed plastic cavity with a backing card, making it easy to hang products on pegboard retail displays. Trapped blisters seal the plastic between two cards for added security. These are common in pharmaceutical, battery, small tool, and impulse-buy retail categories.
Trays and Insert Trays
Thermoformed trays and insert trays help organize and protect products inside retail boxes or shelf-ready packaging. Custom Inserts keep components secure during shipping while improving presentation and product organization.
High-Volume Production for Manufacturers Ready to Scale
At FormTight, we support both low and high-volume runs, able to optimize tooling, reduce per-unit cost, and maintain consistent output across large orders at scale.
If you're preparing to launch into a major retailer, replenishing seasonal products, or scaling an existing line, our production capacity is set up to keep pace. We work directly with product manufacturers to make sure the packaging we produce fits the product, retail environment, and expected timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of products is thermoformed retail packaging best suited for?
Thermoformed retail packaging works well for a wide range of consumer goods, including hardware, electronic accessories, personal care, small appliances, toys, tools, and more. If your product needs to be visible on the shelf, protected in transit, and presented cleanly at point of sale, thermoforming is worth considering. We can assess your specific product and recommend the right format during the quoting process.
What is the minimum order quantity for retail packaging at FormTight?
We work with both low and high-volume customers, but our production is optimized for orders of 50,000 units or more. At that volume, we can offer better pricing, more efficient tooling runs, and consistent quality across the full order. If your volume is below that threshold, we're still happy to talk through your project and see if there's a fit.
What materials do you use for plastic thermoformed retail packaging?
We work with a variety of sheet plastics, including PET, PETG, PVC, HIPS, and others, based on the needs of your project. Material selection depends on factors like clarity, structural requirements, retail environment, and any compliance requirements relevant to your product category. We'll help you identify the right material during the design and quoting phase.
Can FormTight help with the design of the packaging, or do we need to come in with a finished design? We work with customers at every stage of the packaging process, from concept development and material selection to tooling and production. Whether you have a finished design or need engineering support, our team can help develop the right retail packaging solution.
