When it comes to packaging, thermoplastic materials are often a top choice. At Indepak, we can design thermoplastic packaging for virtually any product from any industry. If you are searching for packaging solutions, here are a few reasons why we encourage you to consider thermoplastics.
1. Thermoplastic Is Versatile
Thermoforming is the process by which we take a sheet of thermoplastic, heat it up and then mold into the shape of a package, part or product. Obviously, it’s a bit more complicated than that, but one of the key advantages of thermoplastic is that you can create any shape that you might need. For instance, you can create a package for a product with many parts, and this package can feature perfectly shaped cavities that fit each part exactly.
2. Thermoplastic Is Affordable
The affordability factor is another reason why thermoplastics are such an attractive packaging solution. At our facility, we work with a wide range of thermoplastics, including PET, PETG, ABS, PVC, HIPS, PP, HDPE and more. It’s usually easy to find packaging solutions that meet all of your product needs as well as fitting within your budget.
Additionally, because thermoplastics are lightweight, this can help reduce your shipping and transportation costs. We also are able to create packages that fit your product exactly, eliminating the need for excess packaging, which means you can fit more units into shipping boxes and containers.
3. Thermoplastics Protect Products
While the thermoplastics we use might be thin in width, they offer a high level of protection for your products. Thermoplastics are highly impact resistant and moisture resistant. Additionally with heat sealing and RF sealing, we can create packages that are highly tamper-resistant.
4. Thermoplastic Attracts Customers
When customers actually can see a product, they are more likely to select that option over a product that is packaged in a box. Because thermoplastics are clear, consumers are able to get a good look at your product and this can entice them to select your item off the shelf and leave another product behind. In addition to focusing on factors such as strength, weight and cost containment, our design team also strives to make each package aesthetically pleasing to entice customers to select your unique product.
5. Thermoplastic Can Be An Eco-Friendly Choice
Virtually all of the materials we use are recyclable, and materials such as PET, PETG and HDPE are some of the easiest materials on earth to recycle, accepted by virtually all curbside recycling programs in the United States. Our range of packaging solutions also includes thermoplastics with post-consumer content as well as some starch-based bioplastics. We also can create trap blisters or other combination packages that include thermoplastic and paper or pulp.
For half a century, the team at Indepak has been hard at work, creating packaging solutions for a wide range of clients in many industries. In addition to the package design and production, we also offer services such as inventory management and package fulfillment, truly providing each client with a total solution.
