Thick Gauge Tray Applications

Thick gauge thermoforming is used where structural integrity, wall thickness, and dimensional repeatability are the primary requirements. FormTight's equipment handles sheets up to 53" x 101", with all trimming handled in-house via 5-axis CNC.

Industrial Dunnage Trays

  • Designed around the specific geometry of the parts they carry, whether a single deep-draw cavity or a multi-part configuration is required
  • Common materials include ABS, HDPE, and HIPS, with selection driven by load requirements
  • Available in returnable or single-use configurations, depending on application requirements

OEM Parts and Large-Format Trays

  • OEM component trays formed to specific part geometry
  • Equipment housings for commercial and industrial applications
  • Large-dimension structural components requiring consistent geometry across production runs

Hydroponic Trays

  • Custom dimensions and channel configurations available
  • Thermoforming can produce consistent geometry in larger formats suited to hydroponic grow tray requirements
