Packaging production demands speed, efficiency, and synchronized automation. But you must also adapt to the market’s changing ebbs and flows in terms of sustainability, materials, and total cost of ownership (TCO). Harpak-ULMA’s thermoforming packaging solutions have the versatility to help you stay fast, flexible, and on-target when it matters most.
Our thermoforming systems offer the capabilities to produce many different package styles, sizes, and applications all on the same equipment. Each of our TFS models utilizes a variety of materials, forming, and sealing technologies during operation, supporting many different needs with minimal downtime. Working with us, you choose the size and format that’s right for you and get the reliability and sustainability you need to scale your production right.
