Thin-film thermoforming
This technique is applied to semi-finished thermoplastics such as films, sheets and plates, to transform them into 3D objects. The use of this process results from the behavior of thermoplastic materials, which take on a rubbery consistency above their transition temperature and can therefore be easily formed and frozen in this state by cooling.
Choosing the right thermoforming method depends on :
- Deformation to be imposed
- The shape of the object to be manufactured
- The nature of transformed matter
- The thickness of this material
- Economic resources: machines, molds, number of series…

The benefits of plastics in packaging
- Sterility: Our medical solutions are manufactured in ISO 7 & ISO 8 cleanrooms certified to ISO 13 485.
- Safety: Our solutions offer reliable and secure cushioning, ensuring optimum protection for medical devices throughout their use and transportation.
- Lightweight: Plastic packaging is lighter in weight than other materials such as glass, and above all, it consumes less energy.
- Transparency: Many plastics are transparent and translucent, giving a high-quality image while ensuring product visibility, such as APET and polycarbonate.
- Inalterability: Plastics are highly resistant to external aggressions (humidity, microorganisms, etc.).
- Design & ergonomics:
The infinite variety of shapes, attractive appearance and colors make it possible to create the most attractive packaging for all kinds of needs. - Impermeability:
even in thin layers, plastics are a serious barrier to moisture and gases. The combination of different lids (PGL, tyvek, etc.) reinforces this function. - Natural asepsis:
during processing, plastics are heated to between 110°C and 190°C. This temperature, combined with ISO 7 & ISO 8 production environments, limits packaging contamination. Recyclability: All plastic materials are recyclable, and some are recycled.
