Tray Sealer -vs- Thermoformer

How do you know it is time to upgrade from a Tray Sealer to a Thermoformer? 

First of all, how are they different?

Tray Sealers 

Tray Sealers are machines that apply plastic film lids to pre-formed trays of various materials, sizes, and depths.

Thermoformers

Thermoformers on the other hand, form the tray and produce a sealed pack from plastic. Rolls of film are formed into shapes using pressure, vacuum, and heat.

Here are 4 reasons it may be time to make the upgrade:

1. When you need more production efficiency:
Thermoformers are capable of producing a higher volume of packaging in a shorter amount of time compared to tray sealers. This means that businesses can get their products out the door faster and increase their overall production efficiency.

2. When the long-term cost savings is important:
Although the initial investment in a thermoforming machine may be higher than a tray sealer, the long-term cost savings can be significant. With less labor required, less materials bought, and overall lower operating costs over time.

3. When you have a wide range of packaging styles:
Thermoformers offer greater versatility in packaging options compared to tray sealers. Instead of being limited to a specific tray size and shape, thermoformers can adapt to a wide range of packaging sizes, shapes, and materials.

4. When your facility is short on storage space: 

Thermoformers produce the trays from a single roll of film as the packaging is being formed. This reduces the need to buy and store multiple sizes of trays for each of your different products.
