Thermoforming Capabilities

Design, Engineering, and Tooling Services

T.O. Plastics design engineers excel at designing thermoformed plastic products that meet customer specifications and bring a product to production. With more than 100 years of combined engineering experience, the T.O. Plastics team is well-positioned to develop custom thermoformed packaging and products that meet our customers’ needs. Our engineering capabilities include:

• Full solid modeling capabilities
• CNC milling
• CAM aided tool manufacture
• Various options of rapid prototyping
• 3D printing

With comprehensive engineering capabilities in-house, our customers are able to explore part design options while still meeting time-to-market deadlines.

Quality and Certifications

Our existence and viability depend on our customers’ satisfaction with our performance. It is our mission to meet and exceed customer expectations with regard to thermoforming quality, service, and delivery — every time.

Value-Add Capabilities

Additional value-add capabilities enable us to provide ease and efficiency in post-production, too. Customers rely on T.O. to complete kitting, labeling and barcoding, inventory management, and lid stock sealing operations. By providing these secondary operations in-house, we can effectively reduce time to market.

Equipment and Trim Methods

Our complete production facilities are outfitted with both in-line and cut sheet capabilities, enabling even greater efficiency and versatility in production options. With state-of-the-art OEM equipment, we’re able to provide numerous trim methods. Our plastic trim capabilities include in-line trim, off-line trim, steel rule die, matched metal die, and 5-axis CNC router. After producing precise parts, when required, we have the capability to verify quality and measure the geometry with one of our high precision coordinate measuring machines. As a result, we provide the best overall process suited to each individual customer’s needs.

Extrusion

Our versatile extrusion capabilities give our customers the edge they need in top-quality, cost-effective product. By extruding our own materials, T.O. Plastics can control the quality of its cut-sheet and roll stock goods while providing significant time and cost savings to our customers. Our coextrusion lines enable us to combine multiple plastics into a single material. This can be done to create plastics with specific characteristics and capabilities. Coextrusion is also beneficial as a cost-reduction tactic by pressing scrap materials into a useable form.

Plastic Thermoforming

Our plastic product design capabilities are unmatched when it comes to thermoforming. Our difference is truly being your partner with everything in-house and both heavy and thin gauge thermoforming. We work with customers who have a fully formed idea drawn out, and we also work with customers who have a bar napkin drawing, or a loose concept of what they’re looking for. Either way, our expert design engineers can bring your concept to a completed CAD file with all your project requirements accounted for. Along with ensuring best-in-class manufacturability recommendations.

Custom Solutions

With our design & engineering capabilities, we take on custom projects of all levels of complexity. Our product and packaging solutions are developed with the combined expertise of T.O. staff who bring decades of experience in their fields. We develop custom thermoformed plastic products for all markets and areas of industry.
