Injection Molding
Plastic is injected, under pressure, into a closed cavity mold and cooled to ensure it maintains the exact shape of the mold. This process produces a solid wall, solid core product that exhibits:

• Superior impact resistance
• Accurate and consistent tolerances
• Exceptional strength
• High cleanability
• Lightweight construction

Structural Foam Molding
Plastic and nitrogen gas are injected into a closed cavity mold and cooled to create the exact shape of the mold. The combined use of these materials creates a cellular core that forms a solid skin and exhibits:

• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Reduced deflection
• Accurate and consistent tolerances
• Cleanability
• Superior static load capacity

Thermoforming (Single and Twin Sheet)
In single sheet thermoforming, a sheet of plastic is heated and drawn by vacuum over a mold to create definition to the final product. In twin sheet thermoforming, two sheets of plastic are heated and drawn by vacuum over separate molds and fused together through pressure to form a structural double wall. These processes result in:

• Exceptional flex memory
• Standard static load capacity
• Impact resistance
• Lightweight construction

Extrusion
The act of shaping a material by forcing it through a die by using a screw extruder. Typically used to create divider sheets or slip sheets. Attributes achieved include:

• Rapid customization
• Diverse thicknesses
• Custom screen printing

Compression Molding
Consists of a two-piece mold which provides a cavity having the shape of the desired part. Once the appropriate amount of material is loaded in the lower part of the mold, the two parts of the mold are brought together under pressure. Attributes achieved include:

• High strength to weight ratio
• Reduced deflection
• Dimensional consistency

General Fabrication
Used primarily for the manufacture of dunnage. A variety of foam and corrugated plastic materials are utilized, die cut and assembled using rivets or glue. The assembed dunnage is then integrated in containers, pallets or racks. Attributes achieved include:

• Customization
• Diverse design
• Provides appropriate part protection
