Industrial Transport Packaging

UPPI's manufacturing capabilities is not limited to small, thin gauge product. UPPI's thermoforming equipment is capable of manufacturing formed parts with an overall size of 30" x 40" x 5" with a maximum gauge thickness of .080". If you are considering a heavy gauge application, contact UPPI.

Thermoformed plastic industrial transport packaging options:

• In-house transport trays and lids
• Work-in-process tray and lids
• Material handling trays
• Automation trays
• Returnable tote (Orbis™ & Buckhorn™) insert trays or dividers
• Cushion Packaging (die cut foam alternative)

Many manufacturers are looking for "clean" alternatives to die cut foam and molded pulp material handling trays. UPPI is able to custom design a thermoformed solution that will eliminate the contamination associated with die cut foam and mold pulp products. Clean packaging solutions are particularly important when products are to be painted, printed or assembled. Unit and tool price may be relatively inexpensive for die cut foam or molded pulp products, but the overall cost can be disastrous due to high rework and reject rates caused by contamination.

There are many returnable tote products on the market today. Some totes are collapsible, some are not. However, most totes are just that, totes, empty shells with no inner support or dividers. A heavy gauge, thermoformed insert is one solution to eliminate product movement and damage during shipping and in-plant handling. Additionally, the tote inserts manufactured by UPPI are nest-able, creating a small cube, thus can easily be shipped back to the end user. Many of the national tote manufacturers can support your tote requirements. However, when it comes to thermoformed tote inserts, they usually contact UPPI. Allow UPPI to develop your returnable tote inserts.
