Thermoformers and Tray Lidding

Thermoformers are used to form the "base"w of the packaging into a tray using semi rigid materials or a flexible structure which then have a lidding film applied and sealed to the top of them.

Tray lidding is where a preformed tray is lidded with film or a skin film is vacuumed down onto the product.
