A thermoforming packaging machine operates by first heating a plastic sheet to the appropriate temperature where it becomes pliable, then using a vacuum or pressure to form it over a mold, creating custom shaped packages. The process begins with placing a flat plastic sheet into the machine, which is subsequently heated until the temperature reaches the softening point. Male and female molds are used to shape the plastic, and vacuum or pressure is used to make sure the plastic is drawn accurately to the mold in question. After cooling and solidifying, the formed package is cut to remove the excess material. Thermoforming packaging machines can produce a wide range of packaging styles, from blister packs for pharmaceuticals and electronics to trays for food products. These machines have the ability to create tailored packaging to snugly fit products, providing excellent protection and presentation, especially during shipping.
