Our roof boxes support a variety of surface finishing options, including screen printing, electroplating, and laser engraving, offering more personalized customization to meet diverse branding and functional needs. This flexibility helps enhance product identity and market competitiveness.
How We make the thermoforming roof box
Design and mold making
Before formal production, we will carry out 3D modeling and design according to the drawings and requirements provided by customers to ensure that the product meets the functionality and production requirements. It mainly involves the following aspects:
Dimension and shape planning: According to the quality standard, thickness range and usage requirements of the product, we will determine the specific dimensions and appearance design of the roof luggage to ensure the structural stability and practicality.
Material selection: Commonly used materials for roof boxes include ABS, HIPS, PP and PVC. We recommend ABS, which has high strength, good impact resistance, and is suitable for most environments.
Mold making and processing: After confirming the design, engineers will use CNC equipment to cut the mold. After completion, trimming and polishing will be carried out according to specific conditions to improve the molding quality and surface finish, so as to optimize the production effect of the final product.
Thermoforming Molding
In the process of blister molding, reasonable heating control is vital to product quality. The main processes include:
Sheet preparation: after selecting suitable materials and surface treatment, plastic sheets of required thickness are produced and cut. Before molding, the sheet is cleaned to minimize the impact of impurities on the final product quality.
Heating and Temperature Control: The plastic sheet is fixed on the equipment, and the engineer adjusts the heating temperature according to the thickness of the material and the molding height to ensure uniform heating so that the sheet reaches a plastic state suitable for stretching.
Cooling and shaping: After molding, the product is cooled and inspected for thickness and surface effect to ensure that the roof box meets the expected molding requirements and quality standards.
Post-processing and Quality Inspection
In order to ensure that the roof box meets the end-use standard, the molded products need to undergo fine processing and strict inspection, the main processes include:
CNC Cutting: 5-axis CNC equipments are used to accurately cut the molded products, remove the excess edges, and ensure that the product dimensions are in line with the design requirements.
Surface treatment and opening: According to the design requirements, the luggage is processed with necessary opening, painting, silk screen and other processes to improve the appearance quality and durability, and make it adapt to different usage environments.
Assembly and Quality Inspection: After completion, carry out the necessary component installation and inspect the appearance, dimensional accuracy and structural strength of the product to ensure compliance with factory standards and customer requirements.

Clean surfaces regularly
Clean the exterior of the luggage compartment using a mild soap solution and warm water, avoiding cleaners with abrasive particles that may scratch the plastic surfaces. A soft sponge or microfiber cloth is recommended to remove dirt and road residue. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water and wipe with a dry soft cloth to prevent water residue from affecting the appearance.
Lubrication of locks and hinges
Apply silicone-based lubricants to locks, hinges and moving parts regularly to maintain smooth opening and closing. Avoid the use of oil-based lubricants that attract dust and dirt. Check locks and hinges for signs of rust or wear. If abnormalities are found, replace or repair them promptly.
Check and tighten the mounting parts
Regularly check the brackets, screws and clamps to ensure that all fasteners are secure and free from looseness. Before each trip, it is recommended to manually check and tighten the bolts to prevent them from loosening during driving. If you find the parts are aged, rusty or loose, you should replace them in time to ensure the stable fixing of the luggage.
