Kal Plastics specializes in heavy gauge cut sheet thermoforming and contract manufacturing servicing all major markets. The company manufactures an extensive assortment of high-quality material handling containers for a wide variety of applications, available in prime virgin, post-industrial, or post-consumer materials. Kal Plastics offers assistance in manufacturing design and developing product casings for specialized, medium projects. In addition to vacuum forming expertise, the company provides a wide range of secondary operations, including but not limited to die cutting, pop riveting, drilling, hot stamping, pad printing, fabrication, and precision 5-axis CNC trimming/finishing.
Vacuum forming offers processing advantages over competitive processes such as fabrication, blow molding, injection blow molding, rotational molding, and injection molding. The lower tooling costs make it economically feasible for fabricating relatively large parts, making it ideal for prototyping and product development. Additionally, vacuum formed parts often exhibit higher quality and longer lifespan compared to parts made by other processes, especially in cases where the comparison is between vacuum formed and injected molded parts. Vacuum forming is recommended for parts not exceeding a volume of 50,000 units.
