Consumer & Retail Packaging Design
Retail packaging has to be functional and appealing. Consumer goods like electronics, health and beauty products and sporting goods products need to arrive at the store safe and undamaged — but they also have to look good on the shelf when sitting next to its competitor. Whether you are a B2B or B2C company, Owings Patterns can help design a custom retail package that has the functionality you need and the visual appeal that makes your product stand out.
Food & Beverage Plastic Design
Owings Patterns offers a full line of thermoforming solutions for the food and beverage industry. Plastic is an ideal solution when products have to be sterilized, sanitized and corrosion resistant. It can also be heated and cooled throughout its life cycle without losing its integrity or affecting the way food tastes.
The wine and spirit industry rely on thermoformed clamshell packaging to protect their product. The beverage industry also uses custom thermoformed clamshells for promotional products and marketing purposes. For example, a distillery wants to give their clients two shot glasses with the purchase of a bottle of spirits. Owings Patterns can custom design and thermoform a clamshell package that allows all the products to be incorporated in one package. The packages are typically clear plastic which allow the item to stand out from other products at the point of purchase.

Heavy Truck / Heavy Equipment
Thermoforming interior and exterior components for heavy truck and heavy equipment is fast and efficient compared to other methods. Plastic parts can cut down on weight and offer high durability. These machines are used vigorously and the components need to be able to take a beating. Plastics can withstand sun, rain, mud and many types of chemicals.
Thermoforming is a cost effective way to produce large or small enclosures for construction equipment and over the road trucks. Owings Patterns supplies our clients with low cost tooling on their thermoforming projects. Thermoforming also allows shorter time from concept to completion, and can get you to market faster. Our engineers can guide you every step of the way. From design to production, Owings Patterns creates a custom solution for you.

Mass Transit Thermoforming
From custom made seat backs on an airplane, to thermoformed seats on a subway, Owings Patterns can design a product around your specific needs. In the mass transit industry space, weight and cost are extremely important factors. Thermoformed plastic is lighter weight compared to other fiberglass options, resulting in fuel savings and higher profits.
Budget conscious mass transit companies are always seeking ways to cut costs. Fiberglass manufacturing is usually labor intensive compared to thermoforming plastic. While fiberglass usually requires several tools and many hands to create one product, thermoforming is an automated process with a one time tooling setup, saving on tooling and labor.
Thermoforming also offers shorter lead times. Once the tooling is machined, we can start producing parts right away. Your tooling can be stored for later production runs as well. And thermoformed plastic is durable and reliable, wears well, can be easily cleaned and resists corrosion.
Whether redesigning a fleet or creating an entirely new product, contact Owings Patterns and put our 40 years of thermoforming experience to work for you.
