Development and application of thermoformed plastic cups, plates, containers, boxes and lid molds

There is growing demand for thermoformed plastic products in the food packaging, consumer goods and medical industries. Especially in the field of manufacturing molds for thermoformed plastic cups, plates, containers, boxes and lids, innovation continues to drive the industry forward.

1. Innovation and progress of thermoforming technology
Thermoforming is a process in which a plastic film is heated to a specific temperature to make it soft and stretchable to the surface of the mold, and then cooled to form the desired shape. With the continuous innovation of plastic materials and mold manufacturing technology, the accuracy, quality and production efficiency of thermoformed products have been significantly improved. Especially in the production process of plastic cups, plates, containers, boxes, lids and other products, thermoforming technology makes molding faster and cheaper, and can also create more complex and delicate shapes.

2. Green and environmental protection trends drive industry transformation
Globally, the gradual implementation of environmental protection policies has prompted the production of thermoformed plastic products to pay more attention to recyclability and degradability. More and more companies are turning to recyclable plastic materials (such as PET, PS, etc.) to produce thermoformed cups, plates, containers and other products. This not only helps reduce environmental pollution, but also improves the market competitiveness of products and attracts the favor of consumers.

For example, many catering companies are phasing out traditional single-use plastic products and switching to recyclable thermoformed containers and boxes. These products are not only light and strong, but can be easily recycled after use, reducing the company's environmental pressure.

3. Wide application in food industry
Thermoformed plastic products are widely used in the food industry. Thermoformed plastic cups, plates, containers and boxes have become the material of choice for catering takeout and food packaging due to their excellent sealing and high temperature resistance. Many food manufacturers and catering companies use thermoformed containers to package salads, snacks, soups, etc. to ensure the freshness and hygiene of food.

The design of thermoformed plastic boxes and lids not only meets the packaging needs of food, but can also be customized in shape and size according to customers' individual needs, further promoting the development of the customized market.

4. Potential of the medical industry
In addition to the food industry, the application of thermoformed plastic products in the medical industry is also gradually expanding. Thermoformed plastic containers and boxes are widely used in pharmaceutical packaging, storage and transportation of medical devices due to their sterility, convenience and ease of mass production. Many medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies are beginning to use thermoformed containers to ensure the safety and stability of products during transportation.
