Thermoplastic Sheets from New England Plastic Corp.

While most companies buy Thermoplastic Sheets from outside their organization, New England Plastics specializes in plastic fabrication and maintains its own in-house extrusion operation to convert raw resin to sheet for through Thermoplastic Sheet Fabrication.  This vertical integration achieves optimum raw material quality and cost control that we pass on to you, the client.

New England Plastics works with state-of-the-art equipment when it comes to fabricating the Thermoplastic Sheets you need to do your job.  This includes using UL approved flame retardants, semi-conductive polyefins, anti-stat materials, and FDA approved resins.  Our Thermoplastic Sheet Fabrication has the following advantages:

  • When compared to injection molds, thermoforming can dramatically save on time and cost. A typical lead time for our Custom Plastic Molds at NEP is six to eight weeks, as compared to the usual 12 weeks for injection molds.
  • Parity in piece cost: Advances in thermoforming technology and Thermoplastic Sheet Fabrication have brought per-piece costs of thermoformed parts close to cost with injection molded parts.
  • Small production runs: Extremely low tool investments make Thermoplastic Sheets ideal for smaller production runs. Tool payback is faster with Custom Plastic Sheets, new product start ups are less risky, and frequent model changes are more feasible.
  • Margin of error: Unlike injection molds, Thermoplastic Sheets and thermoforming tools offer more flexibility of design.
