MATERIAL SELECTION / APPLICATIONS

MATERIALS / APPLICATION FIT

Choose thermoformed packaging materials by application

Compare material behavior, product fit and validation requirements before tooling and sampling begin.

Start with the use, then narrow the material choice

Find a similar use among these five Tonghou product types, then compare temperature, protection and appearance requirements. Use material documentation and samples to make the selection.

Material directions and checks before enquiry
Existing material direction Product use What to confirm first Next detail
PP / Polypropylene Separated support for mooncakes, pastries and other foodSpecify the food type, contact time, loading temperature and any lid or seal so the resin grade and finished-pack tests can be agreed. See PP / Polypropylene →
PETG / Copolyester Positioning for pharmaceutical products, devices and accessoriesConfirm dimensions, cleanliness and whether sterilization is required. If so, specify its method and conditions before reviewing material and pack validation. See PETG / Copolyester →
PS / Antistatic grade Positioning and handling of electronic componentsSpecify the ESD target and use environment, then agree a finished-tray resistance test. Select by test results, not tray colour. See PS / Antistatic grade →
Flock / Formed substrate Gift-box inserts with a soft flocked surfaceConfirm load, product contact and fibre-shedding requirements, then check rubbing, appearance and removal with a sample. See Flock / Formed substrate →
Fabric laminate / PVC Gift-box support for bottles, closures and related partsConfirm bottle shape, weight and box space, then check fabric fit, stretched areas and product removal with a sample. See Fabric laminate / PVC →

01 / COMPARISON GUIDE

Choose material for the product and its use

Narrow the options by use, then compare contact temperature, transport and forming requirements. For food or medical applications, check the relevant documentation and confirm the choice with samples.

01 / PP / Polypropylene

Custom PP Food & Mooncake Trays

Design PP food and mooncake trays around the product, handling method, stacking, denesting and outer-box space.

Selection priorities

  • Review cavities, flanges and pick access around the actual mooncake or food product
  • Treat empty-tray stacking, denesting and box fit as handling conditions
  • Confirm material direction with the actual product, packing route and transport conditions

Application directions

  • Mooncake, bakery and food gift-box inserts
  • Food portioning, presentation and in-process handling
  • Packaging that must control stacking, denesting and case fit

Validate before production

Specify the food type, contact temperature and duration, and destination market, then check the resin grade and food-contact documentation. Use samples to check fit, removal, stacking, denesting and box space.

Project inputs

Product dimensions and weight, direct-contact status, resin direction, use conditions, target market, packing method, outer-box dimensions, acceptance criteria and MOQ assessment inputs.

02 / PETG / Copolyester

Custom PETG Pharmaceutical & Medical Trays

Transparent PETG trays for medical and device applications, balancing visual inspection, formed detail, toughness and precise positioning.

Selection priorities

  • High clarity supports assembly confirmation, foreign-matter observation and visual inspection
  • Good toughness and impact performance can reduce brittle damage during handling
  • Detailed cavities and retention geometry control product contact points and orientation

Application directions

  • Medical-device components and diagnostic consumables
  • Pharmaceutical accessories, reagent assemblies and precision-item handling
  • Trays requiring visibility, protective positioning and assembly inspection

Validate before production

Agree biocompatibility, cleanliness, sterilization, package integrity and destination-market requirements for the intended use, then test finished packs made with the specified grade.

Project inputs

Device geometry and sensitive areas, cleanliness level, sterilization method, assembly flow, regulatory and validation requirements.

03 / PS / Antistatic grade

Custom Antistatic PS Electronics Trays

Antistatic PS thermoformed trays for electronic and precision components; 10⁹–10¹¹ Ω is a target project specification, not a certified or measured batch result.

Selection priorities

  • Target 10⁹–10¹¹ Ω and test finished trays under the agreed conditions
  • Good rigidity helps preserve cavity dimensions, part orientation and array pitch
  • Pick points, clearance zones, retaining ribs and stacking features can support manual or automated loading

Application directions

  • PCBs, connectors, sensors and compact electronic modules
  • Precision hardware, optoelectronic parts and assembly-line handling
  • Production flows requiring positioning, counting, stacking and static-risk control

Validate before production

Agree the method, temperature, humidity and sampling locations before testing. At acceptance, compare results from production-representative finished trays with the target specification.

Project inputs

Component geometry and sensitive leads, resistance target, test method, temperature and humidity, sampling locations, sampling plan, cleanliness, reuse cycles, stacking and automated pick method.

04 / Flock / Formed substrate

Premium flocked tray

A fine flock layer gives the formed insert a soft, low-glare surface for cosmetics, liquor and health-product gift boxes.

Selection priorities

  • A fine flock surface provides a silky, soft hand feel
  • The low-glare finish deepens contours and emphasizes sculpted cavity geometry
  • Color, pile feel, cavities and retention features can be tailored to the product and brand

Application directions

  • Perfume, skincare, color-cosmetic and gift-set inserts
  • Premium liquor bottles, barware combinations and presentation boxes
  • Health-product bottles, nutrition gift sets and premium assortments

Validate before production

Approve color, fiber shedding, abrasion, odor, adhesive system and product-surface compatibility on physical samples. Direct-contact applications require separate material and regulatory review.

Project inputs

Product dimensions and weight, brand color, desired pile feel, visible areas, contact requirements, drop conditions and gift-box assembly.

05 / Fabric laminate / PVC

Fabric-laminated PVC liquor tray

A thermoformed PVC structure faced with textile, designed primarily to locate, support and present liquor bottles and barware in premium boxes.

Selection priorities

  • The formed PVC skeleton supports the bottle body, shoulder and neck
  • A woven facing covers the plastic base and adds a textile texture
  • Bottle lifts, glass cavities and accessory zones make each item easier to remove

Application directions

  • Baijiu, whisky, wine and premium-spirit gift boxes
  • Bottle-and-glass or bottle-and-accessory presentation sets
  • Seasonal and corporate liquor packaging requiring support and textile finish

Validate before production

Validate load support, drop, vibration and box assembly using the actual bottle. Confirm laminate bond, edge treatment, odor and compatibility with bottle coatings and labels.

Project inputs

Bottle 3D dimensions and weight, fragile areas, accessory set, fabric color and texture, box space, shipping and drop requirements.
