What materials do you use for vacuum formed packaging?

We primarily use High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and PETG for vacuum formed packaging. HIPS provides excellent rigidity and cost-efficiency for opaque or colored trays, while PETG offers superior clarity for transparent blister packs and clamshells.

Can you manufacture high-volume caps and closures?

Yes. We utilize high-cavitation injection molding (up to 64 cavities) with hot runner systems to produce millions of HDPE and PP caps, lids, and closures annually. Our H13 tool steel molds guarantee over 1,000,000 shots.

How do you ensure food safety compliance?

We source food-contact grade resins from certified global chemical producers. We provide full material traceability and Certificates of Analysis (CoA) with every shipment to support your compliance requirements.

Do you offer sustainable packaging options?

Absolutely. We offer closed-loop regrind integration for non-food-contact packaging, allowing you to incorporate up to 30% post-industrial recycled material to meet UK Plastic Packaging Tax and EU ESG mandates.

FMCG Packaging Solutions

In the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, packaging must balance structural integrity, shelf appeal, and aggressive unit cost targets. As a global custom molding company, we provide end-to-end packaging manufacturing utilizing both vacuum forming and high-speed injection molding.

Our South African facility operates high-throughput thermoforming lines optimized for large runs of HIPS and PETG trays, clamshells, and blister packs. For rigid closures, our injection molding department utilizes multi-cavity hot runner systems to produce millions of defect-free HDPE caps annually.

Core Packaging Capabilities

Vacuum Formed Trays & Blisters

Utilizing high-speed roll-fed thermoforming machines, we produce custom insert trays, point-of-sale displays, and protective blister packaging. We process HIPS for opaque applications and PETG for high-clarity retail display, ensuring tight tolerances for automated pick-and-place assembly lines.

Caps & Closures (HDPE/PP)

For rigid packaging, we design and build 16, 32, and 64-cavity H13 tool steel molds equipped with advanced hot runner systems. This allows for sub-10-second cycle times when molding threaded caps, snap-on lids, and living-hinge closures from HDPE and Polypropylene.

ESG Compliance & Sustainability

Meeting the requirements of the UK Plastic Packaging Tax and the EU Circular Economy Action Plan is critical for modern FMCG brands. We offer industrial plastic recycling solutions, seamlessly blending up to 30% post-industrial regrind back into non-food-contact packaging streams to achieve immediate ESG compliance while reducing raw material expenditures.
