Typical materials: PVC, PET, PP, and various grades of plastic

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely produced synthetic polymers. It is commonly used in making bottles, non-food packaging, food-covering sheets, and bank and membership cards. It is also used in electrical cable insulation, plumbing, imitation leather, signage, flooring, inflatable products, and many other applications.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most commonly used thermoplastic polymer. It is used for clothing, thermoforming for manufacturing, making containers for liquids and foods,  and with glass fiber for engineering resins. It is also used for waterproofing undersea cables and as a substrate in solar cells.

Polypropylene (PP) is another commonly used thermoplastic polymer. Being resistant to fatigue PP is widely used in making plastic hinges, flip-top bottles, and piping systems. It has a high resistance to heat which is why most equipment in laboratories is made of PP. It is also extensively used in making plastic containers as they can be easily molded in any shape and size.

Common MOQ: 50 to 10,000 pcs

Typically, common or standardized parts have higher MOQ. MOQ may be negotiated and customized. However, buyers are advised to be reasonable about the numbers.

Manufacturing method: Vacuum forming

In this method, a plastic sheet is heated to forming temperature, given a specific shape in a mold, and then trimmed according to the client’s specifications. The plastic sheet is heated in an oven to a temperature high enough to allow it to be stretched and molded. Vacuum forming is then used to give it its final shape.

Manufacturing cluster area: Ningbo and Shanghai

Ningbo is a major industrial hub in China and is one of the oldest cities in the country. It is located in the northeast Zhejiang province of China. It is one of the major producers of home electric appliances in China.

Applications: Packaging

Plastic shells or blister packaging are extensively used by many industries. Pharmaceuticals and the food and beverage industry are frontrunners in using plastic shells.

Plastic shells are also used for packaging stationery, electronics, home improvement tools, and more.

Common Issues: Dimensions, surface finish, structural integrity, color

We work closely with Chinese manufacturers to monitor the quality and finish of the products. The factories deploy rigorous quality checks to ensure there is no deviation from global quality standards.
