Cost-effective size adjustment and quality measures by replacing with vacuum-formed trays!
We would like to introduce a case where we solved problems by changing metal parts trays from EPS trays to vacuum-formed trays. While using EPS trays for the inter-factory transport of metal parts, we faced the following challenges: - A single lot of parts could not fit into one row of the tray's groove, resulting in unnecessary gaps. - We were troubled by shavings caused by friction between the metal parts and the EPS trays, making it a challenge to change the tray specifications while maintaining transport conditions. [Key Points of Introducing Vacuum-Formed Trays] - By extending the dimensions of the grooves compared to the current trays, we were able to neatly fit one lot of parts into two rows, making quantity management easier. - By molding appropriate materials from various sheet materials that respond to transport conditions, such as wear-resistant materials, we improved transport quality. - For small lots, we produced using resin molds, significantly reducing initial costs compared to EPS. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
Solve the issues with the current parts tray ■ The current EPS tray can only hold about 400 pieces in one row, and when loading a lot of 1,000 pieces, gaps appear. ■ Changing the shape of the EPS tray would incur very high mold costs. ■ A specification that can withstand a weight of approximately 4 kg for the parts is required. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Company information
After 80 years since our founding, we have supported our customers' businesses from various angles, including logistics support, and by continuously incorporating customer feedback and exploring possibilities, we have come to believe that vacuum forming is the most efficient way to support our customers' manufacturing processes. Currently, we perceive three challenges—cost, quality, and proposals—as hurdles preventing the adoption of plastic products in manufacturing. Our company has manufacturing bases not only in Japan but also in Vietnam. To achieve low costs, we primarily focus on mold manufacturing in Vietnam, minimizing cost barriers and enabling us to engage in prototyping and production effectively.
