Vacuum Forming Machine for Plastic Trays and Vacuum Formed Packaging
An industrial vacuum forming machine heats plastic sheet and uses vacuum suction to produce vacuum formed plastic trays, blister packaging, product inserts, fruit trays, egg trays, meat trays and custom packaging parts. The WX-1220 servo direction uses a 1220×710 mm forming area, servo upper/lower mold movement and servo sheet pulling. It is intended for buyers who need repeatable tray positioning, controlled stretching and real factory test evidence, while high-output food containers that require integrated cutting and stacking should be matched with a three-station thermoforming machine instead.
Applications: Blister packaging, Food trays, Fruit boxes, Disposable plates, Egg trays, Plastic inserts, Fresh food trays
When to Choose an Industrial Vacuum Forming Machine
- Choose vacuum forming for plastic trays, blister packaging, inserts and packaging shapes that can be formed clearly by vacuum suction.
- For a 1220×710 mm project, confirm product length, width, depth, sheet material and thickness before mold and cutting design.
- Servo upper/lower mold movement and servo sheet pulling support more accurate positioning and repeatable sheet stretching.
- Compare cutting methods separately because vacuum formed packaging may require hydraulic, die or other downstream trimming equipment.
- For integrated high-output forming, cutting and stacking of food containers, compare a three-station thermoforming machine.
- Plan molds, vacuum pump, air supply, cooling, sheet source and pre-shipment test video as one production system.

Machine Matching
Is This the Right Machine?
Best for blister packaging, inserts, trays, sample parts and formed plastic packaging where vacuum forming is enough for the product shape.
For high-volume food containers with forming, cutting and stacking in one automatic line, compare with a three-station thermoforming machine.

Which Plastic Packaging Machine Should You Choose?
Buyers often search by final product instead of machine name. Use this table to match disposable cups, food containers, blister packaging and sheet production with the correct machine direction.
| Buyer Product | Suitable Machine | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Disposable plastic cups, bowls and yogurt cups | Plastic Cup Making Machine | Best for deep round cup forming with matched cup molds, cutting and automatic stacking. |
| Food containers, trays, lids, clamshell boxes and fruit boxes | Three-Station Thermoforming Machine | Combines forming, cutting and stacking in one automatic line for packaging production. |
| Blister packaging, inserts, sample trays and custom shallow parts | Vacuum Forming Machine | Uses heated sheet and vacuum suction for trays, blister shapes and packaging inserts. |
| PP, PS or PET sheet rolls for cups, containers and trays | Sheet Extrusion Line | Produces upstream thermoforming sheet and helps control material cost and thickness stability. |

Buyer FAQ
What vacuum formed products can this machine make?
It can produce plastic trays, blister packaging, inserts, fruit trays, egg trays, meat trays, disposable plates and custom vacuum formed packaging when product shape and material are suitable.
What is the forming area of the WX-1220 servo machine?
The provided forming area is 1220×710 mm. Final product size, depth, mold layout and trimming allowance still need confirmation before quotation.
Which materials can be vacuum formed?
Depending on the product and machine configuration, PET, PP, PS, PVC, ABS, PC and other thermoformable sheets can be evaluated. Thickness and heating behavior must be confirmed.
Is vacuum forming suitable for food containers?
It can suit trays and simpler food packaging shapes. For high-output containers requiring forming, cutting and stacking in one automatic line, a three-station thermoforming machine is normally more suitable.
Can this machine use sheet from an extrusion line?
Yes. Sheet width, material, thickness and winding quality should be matched between the extrusion line and vacuum forming machine.
Can buyers see a test-run before shipment?
Yes. Test videos can help buyers check sheet feeding, mold movement, vacuum forming and finished tray results before export packing.
