Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic is heated to an optimum temperature, which then allows for stretching over a single-surface mould. 
A vacuum sucks the air out of the machine and allows for the plastic to create a tight fit over the mould, forming the desired shape. 

This process can be used to form many types of plastic into permanent objects such as food or seed trays, to building materials and through to hi-tech applications for use in medical equipment, automotive and aeronautical applications. 
The range of applications suitable for the vacuum forming process is almost limitless. At the Vacform Group, we make a diverse range of parts for motorcycles, garden centres, plumbing and building merchants and wholesalers and retailers of all types.

Many different types of plastic can be used in the process in a wide range of colours, finishes and textures. 
Not every design or shape is suitable for vacuum forming but it remains the most cost effective and efficient method for processing a diverse range of plastic applications.
