Thermoformed Packaging Calculators
Sheet allocations, trim and production yields.
Thermoforming Sheet Weight
Calculate web GSM, area and mass from sheet dimensions, thickness and an explicitly entered material density.
Thermoformed Part Material Weight
Allocate gross sheet material per formed part from production web width, machine pitch, parts across and sheet GSM.
Thermoforming Scrap Rate
Measure gross-input scrap fraction from weighed sheet input and the actual mass and quantity of good finished parts.
Thermoformed Tray Cost per 1,000
Calculate waste-adjusted resin cost for trays and add optional conversion and order freight allocation.
Thermoforming Resin Requirement
Calculate gross resin input by dividing required good finished material mass by the process yield.
Thermoformed Packaging Quote Comparison
Compare thermoformed packaging supplier quotes by unit, thousand or declared commercial pack. Include order quantities, MOQ, freight, tooling and usable quantity; review tray / cup dimensions and usable capacity, material / sheet structure / actual weight, lid / seal / cavity layout and trim scope, drawing / stacking / performance reference.
Before you start
Begin with the forming sheet specification and actual material allocation per part. Separate recoverable trim from material that is lost, and use the process yield for the particular tray or cup.
Inputs to have ready
The exact inputs depend on the selected tool. Common inputs in this section include:
- Sheet / web width
- Sheet / web length
- Sheet thickness
- Actual or assumed sheet density
- Web width
- Machine pitch
