Integrated Packaging in Automated Lines

Give us your new product. We`ll give you cost-effective, consistently high quality packaging that integrates with your automated line, protects your product, shows it in its best light, and helps it sell.

Tray-Pak (TPC) is the specialist in the integration of custom thermoformed packaging into your automated process. Expertise in materials, machinery, and automation, as well as in package design, makes TPC the perfect partner for the packaging of mid-to-high volume consumable products, and integrating it into your automated lines.

Also take a fresh look at repackaging existing products. In today`s automated line, thermoformed packaging can be cost-competitive with chipboard and other materials, while enhancing the product`s shelf appeal.

Our expertise extends to automated packaging technology. As unbiased consultants, we can help you determine the best machinery to integrate into your automated line.

I-Pop Image Printing on Plastic

Value Added Services

Bi-color

Create a dramatic setting for your product with packaging of multiple colors or opacities.

Flocking

Nestle your product in the soft look of felt or suede.

Printing

With the capability to preprint, pad print, or label in up to six colors, we can add powerful sales appeal and perceived value to your products.

Design and Development

All vendors may be looking at the same materials. But TPC also sees an opportunity to demonstrate the ability to think.

Our design will reflect the perfect blend of function and aesthetics. It will hold your product safely and securely, and display it beautifully. And the packaging can be seamlessly integrated in your automated line for more efficient production.

We can start with a drawing, prototype or specifications of your product. Working with all thermoformable materials, we`ll customize the design and material to meet your needs. State- of-the-art printing, flocking, and bi-color capabilities can help your packaging take your product to new heights of sales appeal.

By doing so we can deliver a better package at a cost similar or lower than those of lesser materials or other thermoformers. In other words, the best bottom line value you`ll find anywhere.

Our custom design capabilities are complemented by an inventory of over 1000 tools. We can often give customers exactly what they need without new tooling.
