Plastic thermoformingin the Philippines,mastered.
We heat, form and finish plastic sheet into precise trays, housings and casings — from a ~10,000 m² plant in Batangas that extrudes its own sheet, with molds cut in-house and ISO-certified quality behind every run.
Thermoforming plastic sheet is simple in principle: heat it until pliable, then form it over a mold with vacuum or pressure. For large parts and complex shapes, it delivers the finished quality you need — at a fraction of the tooling cost of injection molding, and far faster to first parts.
Alcami is a contract manufacturer for plastic thermoforming in the Philippines — forming for demanding brands since 2001 from Alcami Industries (Philippines) Inc. in Batangas, where thermoforming and sheet extrusion run in the same building, with molds cut in-house by the group.
Why it wins
Excellent for mass production
A single mold turns out large numbers of identical parts. The mold is the main upfront cost — after that, your cost per part is very low.
Low scrap rates
Forming leaves very little post-production scrap — sheet offcuts can typically be reground and recycled into future runs, in line with our ISO 14001 commitment.
Detailed design capabilities
Fine detail imprints cleanly, and the process leaves real design freedom — why thermoforming suits such a wide variety of parts and products.
Thermoforming vs. injection molding
Choose the right process — honestly.
Most plastic thermoforming manufacturers only form. We run both thermoforming and injection molding in-house. Tell us your part and volume, and we will point you to the process that actually fits — not the one that is easiest to sell.
Thermoforming
Choose thermoforming when…
Larger, lighter parts — fast and affordable to tool.
Parts are large or deep — trays, housings, panels, covers
The part is sheet-based — uniform walls, no ribs or bosses
You need tooling quickly and affordably
The design may still change between runs
You want light, durable parts in PET, PP, ABS or PVC
Injection molding
Choose injection molding when…
Small, intricate parts — at very high volume.
Parts are small and highly detailed
Volumes are very high and stable
Tight, repeatable tolerances are critical
Geometry needs ribs, bosses or molded-in threads
Per-part cost matters more than tooling cost
Not sure which way to go? We do both — send your part and we will tell you which is right for you.
What we form
Parts thermoforming does best.
From retail packaging to cleanroom medical trays, plastic thermoforming shapes the large, light, durable parts that other processes struggle to make affordably.
Packaging & trays
Trays, clamshells and blister packs that protect the product and show it off — in clear, rigid, recyclable plastics.
Retail · Food-grade · POS displays
Medical & laboratory
Device trays, instrument trays and sterile-ready packaging, formed in cleanroom to ISO and NEBB standards.
Cleanroom · Sterile-ready · Device trays
Electronics enclosures
Housings, covers and ESD handling trays that protect precision electronics through assembly and transport.
Enclosures · ESD trays · Covers
Automotive & industrial
Panels, covers and structural components — light, durable and cost-effective at the volumes these lines run.
Panels · Covers · Fixtures
Consumer products
Casings, covers and durable formed parts for everyday products — finished, assembled and ready to ship.
Housings · Covers · Casings
Material handling & automation
Custom dunnage, KLT inserts and automation trays — one automation-tray project lifted a customer line's output by 20%.

Trimming, assembly & DI washingCNC trimming, sub-assembly, testing and ultra-pure deionized cleaning to finish the part.
Turnkey sourcing & logisticsSourcing, warehousing and transport, so parts arrive at your dock — not just our loading bay.
Materials
The right plastic for the job.
We form the plastics thermoforming is built for — matched to your strength, clarity, temperature and food- or medical-contact requirements.
We also thermoform specialty sustainable materials — bio-based, biodegradable and recycled grades. Working to a spec, food-contact or medical grade? Send it over — we will match the material and gauge to your part.
How it works
From sheet to delivered part.
01
Send your part
Share a drawing, a sample or just the idea. We will tell you honestly whether thermoforming is the right call.
02
CAD & DFM review
Our engineers review your CAD model — or design one for you — check draft angles, wall thickness and undercuts, then come back with a clear quotation.
03
Tooling & sheet
Molds machined and sheet extruded in-house — tight tolerances, fast iterations, one accountable timeline.
04
Form, finish & deliver
Vacuum or pressure forming, then trimming, cleanroom finishing, QC, warehousing and transport.
Inside one forming cycle
01Heat
The plastic sheet is heated until pliable and moved into position over the mold.
02Form
Vacuum or pressure stretches the heated sheet tight against the mold.
03Cool & eject
The part cools and holds its shape; demolding air releases it from the mold.
04Trim
Formed parts are trimmed and separated from the sheet, ready for finishing.
A customer invested in automation for their line and turned to us for the formed trays that feed it — increasing output by 20% while using fewer operators.
Established and patented in 2004, Scraperite is a line of plastic razor blades and holders for cleaning and scraping surfaces where metal blades would cause damage. After its 2019 rebrand, Scraperite chose Alcami as its turnkey manufacturer — from CAD and mold making to production molding, packing and palletized delivery.

What is plastic thermoforming?
Thermoforming heats a plastic sheet until it is pliable, then forms it over a mold using vacuum or pressure. It is ideal for large parts and complex shapes — with far lower tooling cost than injection molding, and faster to first parts.
Do you do plastic thermoforming in the Philippines?
Yes. Thermoforming is the core process at Alcami Industries (Philippines) Inc., our plant at Lot 1-A Block 9 Millennium Drive in the LISP III Special Economic Zone, San Rafael 4234, Santo Tomas, Batangas. It runs about 10,000 m² of factory floor with a team of around 200 people, and also handles sheet extrusion, film conversion, DI washing and assembly.
Thermoforming or injection molding — which is right for my part?
As a rule of thumb, thermoforming wins for larger parts and faster, cheaper tooling; injection molding wins for small, high-precision parts at very high volumes. We run both inside the group, so we recommend the process that genuinely fits your part and volume — not just the one we would like to sell.
Which forming methods and materials do you offer?
We offer vacuum forming and pressure forming, in materials including PET/APET, PS/HIPS, PP, HDPE, ABS, PVC and polycarbonate — including food-contact, medical-grade and sustainable bio-based or recycled materials.
Do you make your own sheet and molds?
Yes. Our Philippine plant extrudes its own plastic sheet on site, and the group fabricates molds in-house with CNC machining — which means tighter tolerances, faster iterations and one accountable partner from sheet to finished part.
Can you thermoform in a cleanroom for medical or electronics parts?
Yes. Alcami runs onsite cleanroom manufacturing — NEBB certified and rated up to Class 100,000 — for medical, laboratory and electronics parts that require it, including device trays, housings and sterile-ready packaging. Tell us the cleanliness requirement and we will confirm which plant would run your part.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQs are variable by the scope and complexity of the parts you need manufactured — volumes for food packaging run far higher than for precision industrial parts. Share your part and target volume and we will quote accordingly.
Which certifications do you hold?
We are certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 22000 (food safety), and our cleanroom manufacturing is NEBB certified. We share current certificates for your supplier qualification file on request.
How fast will I get a quote?
We reply to quote requests within 1 business day — usually with clarifying questions or a budgetary quotation.
