Thermoforming is a precise and efficient way to mold plastic into a desired and usable form. To create a product, we use heat, vacuum, and air pressure to shape plastic into the product you need. Mercury Plastics MD offers a wide variety of thermoform options, including light and heavy gauge thermoforming (thin and thick plastics), hand thermoforming, and fabrication. View our full range of in-house thermoforming applications.

At Mercury Plastics MD, we are here to make your ideas take flight. Thermoforming can offer you a few distinct advantages to alternatives like injection molding or metal forming. These advantages include:

• Lower tooling costs
• Faster turnaround time
• Flexibility in design and easy accommodation of adjustments
• Variety of color, material, and texture options
• Speedy and adaptable product development and prototyping

If you need more guidance as you weigh options for creating your product, contact one of our experts.

Our team of designers and engineers will happily work with you to identify the most efficient and effective pathway. While absolutely love working with a client from concept through prototype and execution, we know that a more extensive process might not be the best avenue to make your idea take flight!

The best way to get started is to view our products and connect with our team. Tell us about your thermoform application and let’s take it from there!

First, our team of materials engineers will work closely with you to determine the optimal material for your concept. Together, we will analyze the end-use you have in mind for the product. Often, identifying the key features of the final product will guide us to the perfect material or combination. We weigh everything from flame resistance, attractiveness, durability, exposure to elements, and more.
