Custom plastic trays
Custom thermoformed trays for the safe transport, handling and storage of components and parts. Designed part by part, manufactured to be an active part of your logistics chain.
Three underlying advantages
Thermoformed plastic allows us to produce trays that fit your product exactly, integrate them into automated systems and reuse them across many loops. None of that is accidental: each tray is designed to achieve it.
01
Precision and customization
Each tray is designed from the 3D of your part. The shape adapts to the exact product geometry, minimizing the risk of damage during transport and handling. Dimensional tolerances suitable for robotic systems.
02
Reusable and recyclable
Manufactured in technical thermoplastic, they withstand multiple use cycles. Also available in versions with recycled material or 100% recyclable at end of life. They reduce environmental impact and the cumulative cost of packaging.
03
Logistics efficiency
The design optimizes product density in transport and the geometry facilitates stacking. Result: more units per pallet, fewer trips, lower cost per part transported. Compatibility with standard storage systems.
What our trays are used for
Thermoformed trays solve four concrete challenges in any supply chain. They work both inside your plant and between your company and your suppliers or customers.
01
Transport and shipping
They move your parts between factories, suppliers and customers with minimum risk of damage. The custom shape holds each component in place throughout the route, including long or international transport.
02
Automated handling
Dimensional precision allows robots, cobots and pick & place systems to work directly on the tray. Each part is exactly where the system expects it. No operator sorting, no downtime.
03
In-plant storage
They optimize space on shelves and stock areas. The stackable geometry makes use of available height, and the custom format eliminates the losses that standard packaging causes when it does not fit well.
04
Reusable systems
When there is a repetitive loop between supplier and customer, the trays travel back and forth multiple times. Each rotation amortizes the initial investment and eliminates the recurring cost of single-use packaging.
The same concept, different gauges.
Every CTE tray is manufactured by thermoforming, but the choice of material and thickness depends on the product weight, frequency of use and the conditions of the logistics environment.
We work with several materials and different gauges according to requirements. We advise on selection from the first technical meeting.
For small parts and high volumes
Reduced thickness, minimum weight. Ideal for lightweight components, consumer electronics, inner packaging and applications where cost per unit is critical. 1-2.5 mm • PETG • PP • HIPS
For general industrial use
The most common. Resistant to multiple use cycles, frequent handling and moderate load. Good balance between cost and durability. 25_5mm • pp , ARS, PE
For large or very fragile parts
Maximum structural rigidity. Withstands high loads, impacts and many rotations without deforming. For automotive components, machinery or high-value products. 5-8 mm • ABS • PC-ABS • technical PE
When you need something more
Materials with additives for electrostatics (electronics), food contact, UV resistance, flame retardancy or color traceability. Combined with any of the gauges above. ESD – FDA • UV • RFID/QR traceability
Same quality, smaller footprint
Available in blends with recycled material (rPET, rPP) when the application allows. Significantly reduces the carbon footprint without penalizing performance. rPET • rPP • recycled content up to 100%
From CAD to the plant, in three steps.
01
CAD Design
We start from the 3D of the part to be packaged and the conditions of the logistics loop. We model the tray with custom geometry, reinforcements where needed and design optimized for stacking.
02
Prototype
We manufacture on a resin or aluminum mold for short validation series. We carry out real tests – drop, vibration, handling – before approving the final production mold.
03
Production
Series thermoforming with material extruded on our own lines. Batch quality control and complete traceability, from sheet to finished product.
