Industrial PETG Trays: When to Use Custom Vacuum Formed Solutions
PETG trays are ideal for projects requiring repeatable cavity fit, stable stacking, and reliable part separation—such as machine internals, component kitting, electronics handling, and OEM assembly lines. PETG is selected for its impact strength, clarity, and dimensional stability. These trays are not suitable for continuous use above 70°C or for certified food/medical contact unless specifically requested and certified.
Cavity Size, Depth, and Product Fit: Key Confirmation Points
To ensure the tray matches your needs, provide a drawing or sample specifying cavity dimensions, part orientation, and required clearance. Confirm the number of cavities, tray depth, stacking height, and whether the tray will be fixed, removable, or used with automated pickers. For ESD-sensitive environments, anti-static or conductive materials are available.
Material and Thickness: Optimizing Rigidity and Handling
PETG thickness ranges from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, with thicker sheets for heavy or large trays. Thinner trays suit lightweight or disposable use. Color can be clear, black, or custom. Surface finish options include smooth, textured, or matte. For trays exposed to solvents or high heat, consider ABS or PC alternatives.
Inspection Priorities: Cavity Accuracy and Stacking Stability
Sample approval should verify cavity accuracy, wall thickness uniformity, clean edge trimming, and stacking stability. Stack multiple trays to check for warping or interference. Surface quality—especially for clear trays—should be free from scratches or haze. Pickup clearance must allow easy removal of parts without jamming. The product photo must show cavity layout, depth, and stacking behavior for project approval.
RFQ Preparation: Information Required for Tray Projects
- Drawing, sample photo, or reference size showing cavity layout and tray dimensions
- Material type, color, and required thickness
- Quantity per order and delivery schedule
- Stacking, packing, and labeling requirements
- Any special needs: anti-static, conductive, or cleanroom packing
- Photo evidence showing cavity layout, depth, and stacking behavior
Packing for Export: Preventing Deformation and Surface Damage
Trays are nested with protective interleaves or PE film, then packed in cartons or crates. For heavy trays, reinforced cartons are used. For cleanroom or ESD use, specify anti-static bags or dust-free packing. Packing method and stack height are documented for repeat orders to ensure consistent protection.
FAQ – PETG Tray Fit and Customization
- Can tray layout and features be customized? Yes. Cavity count, depth, thickness, color, and finish are all tailored to your drawing or sample.
- What details are needed for quotation? Provide the application, part size, tray quantity, material, stacking, and packing method. Drawings or samples improve accuracy.
- Why is a product photo important? The photo proves cavity layout, depth, and stacking fit, reducing risk in quoting and production.
