Light Gauge Forming

Light Gauge Forming

Light gauge forming is one of the most widely seen and used thermoforming process. Handling clear, or colored material from .010″ thick to .080″ thick, the wide range of thickness and colors make it a preferred packaging display component. Light gauge forming is commonly mixed up with injection molding, although they’re completely different processes. Due to a number of factors (one of the largest being vastly reduced tooling costs and far lower minimum order requirements) thermoforming is a highly desirable process and works extremely well in most applications. We stock a wide range of materials, all in different thicknesses and colors. Depending on your application we can use stock material or order custom material specifically for your product.

Common product applications that Kiva has worked on include blister packs, clamshells, in-house product handling trays, countertop display packaging, medical device packaging, food packaging, and handling trays.
