Thermoforming Materials

Thermoforming Materials is a class of polymer-based sheet materials that, when heated to a forming temperature, exhibit the structural malleability enabling them to be shaped into blister packaging configurations through application of pressure or vacuum, thereby distinguishing them from other packaging materials by their specific thermoformable properties and functional suitability for hermetic medical and pharmaceutical containment.
