VACUUM FORMING: - BLISTERS AND MORE!
Got a new product? Looking to test the market? Looking to work closely with a company nearer than Shanghai? At Criterion, we work with you every step of the way. From prototype samples to full production runs we can produce vacuum forming tailored to your requirements. With three automated vacuum forming machines, featuring different platen sizes, edge folding machines and heat sealing equipment we can produce many vacuum formed pack types. We can produce blisters for encapsulation, blisters for heat sealing, clamshell blisters, product trays, male and female blister sets and more.
SLIDE BLISTER PACKS.
Our most popular vacuum formed option. We create a cavity to hold your product and then having consulted you on how much area you require for your graphics we formulate your card size requirements and any hanging requirements. Utilising our edge folding equipment (we have both automated and manual machinery) we apply folds to the sides and base so that you can insert your product and lock it in position with your insert cards. A slide blister uses much less plastic than a clamshell and can be easily recycled.
COMBINATION PACKS (VACUUM FORMING / DIGITAL PRINTING / HIGH-FREQUENCY WELDING).
At Criterion your vacuum formed requirements can be enhanced utilising our ancillary equipment. We have already indicated our edge folding options, we can also seal blisters by high-frequency welding, weld blisters to digitally printed vinyl panels or heat seal blisters to coated cards.
IN MATERIALS TO MATCH CLIENT REQUIREMENTS.
We hold stocks on the site of clear rigid vinyl in a variety of gauges, we can also produce products in HIPS and APET even in colours if required.
