When your company seeks an effective, affordable medical device manufacturing and packaging solution, consider the advantages of thermoformed pouch trays. They offer numerous benefits to both your business and to end users. If you are unfamiliar with this type of packaging, below is what you need to know.

An Introduction to Thermoformed Pouch Trays

What Are They?

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process in which a plastic sheet or film is heated until pliable. The sheet is then subjected to pressure and formed into a pouch or tray that is custom-shaped to contain and protect a sensitive medical device or other fragile product. The process can be used for purposes as varied as the manufacture of food service products—e.g. disposable cups, lids, trays, blisters, clamshells, etc.—and thicker-gauge parts like vehicle doors, refrigerator liners, and plastic pallets. 

Thin-gauge thermoformed pouch trays are very versatile, and can be designed with a single cavity to contain one item safely, or with multiple cavities to contain a variety of products or a single, disassembled item. 

What Are the Advantages?

They utilize very little plastic and are thus inexpensive to manufacture.   They offer considerable protection, and they are extremely easy to load. Medical device manufacturing workers can simply snap the product into the tray, which keeps the item from impacts and jostling. 

It enables consistent product orientation so the device never deploys prematurely. By holding the product securely, the snap-in tray also prevents the device from breaking the sterile barrier and compromising usability. For these reasons, thermoformed pouch trays are among the most advantageous types of packaging you can choose for your medical device.
