Increasing Product Protection with Injection Molding Capabilities

Oct 19, 2023

In the dynamic landscape of manufacturing and product packaging, the need for robust and versatile solutions is more critical than ever. Peninsula Plastics stands at the forefront of innovation by combining our thermoforming and injection molding capabilities to develop customized packaging solutions. Custom injection molding can be used in combination with thermoformed trays, pallets, and lids by using inserts designed to protect fragile and sensitive components.

The Power of TPU, PP and HDPE Inserts

Peninsula Plastics understands that when it comes to safeguarding sensitive surfaces, one size does not fit all. Our team of veteran manufacturing experts will analyze the product we are creating packaging for and determine the proper design and material type for the necessary insert. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a material known for its exceptional resistance to abrasion, excellent flexibility, and remarkable shock absorption properties. Polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) are excellent material choices for products that demand an extra layer of durability and security. Whether you are packaging electronics, medical equipment, or automotive parts, injection molded inserts can offer the ideal balance of protection and support.

Diving into Custom Injection Molding

We are a leader in custom injection molding for thermoformed packaging, harnessing a wide range of materials to offer protection and support for your products. The injection molding process allows for precision and adaptability, making it suitable for numerous applications across diverse industries.

1. Various Materials

Peninsula Plastics is not bound by a singular material choice. In addition to thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polypropylene (PP), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) Peninsula Plastics has the capability to use additional materials, ensuring that your product’s unique needs are met with precision. Our unique design and material selection make TUFF DUNNAGE® inserts the go-to solution for safeguarding delicate products.

Once installed in thermoformed trays, pallets or lids, they offer an added layer of safeguarding for fragile and sensitive components.
