Frequently asked questions about ordering thermoformed parts with formary
For data of your components and requested thermoformed parts, we need CAD data. We can work with STEP, IGS, DXF, and Parasolid.
Tip: You also have the option to upload your thermoforming data in our DfM software and check it for thermoformability. Simply book a demo and we will analyze your data together with you.
We can check your thermoformed part created in a CAD program for manufacturability
and calculate a quote for you.
We create your concept and thermoformable data based on your request information
in the configurator. We will then send these to you for review and approval.
Should you notice any additional points during your review of the data, we will
incorporate them. Subsequently, the thermoformed part goes into sampling after approval.
formary calculates your unit prices and the tooling based on the parameters of your request as well as other parameters we determine after reviewing your requirements for the thermoformed parts. Calculation data from our database, empirical values, and current market data are decisive for the price.
We use these to design the machine selection, mold surface, and tool structure. Within 24 hours, you will receive the quote, which is manually checked for plausibility by a formary project manager before being sent.
Using formary is free of charge. You can place as many inquiries with us as you like and contact us proactively at any time for development projects. Until you order your thermoformed parts, you will generally incur no costs with us.
After submitting your request, you will receive a summary of the request parameters by email. You can check these again, save them as a PDF, or print them out if necessary. We then automatically calculate the unit costs of your thermoformed part and the tooling.
We match the assignment internally. Immediately after you place your order, the suitable partner is automatically selected based on manufacturing capabilities, machine equipment, material inventory and availability, as well as available production capacity.
We clarify all production-relevant aspects in dialogue with our partner. Since we include our partners' capacities, you can be sure that your delivery times will be reliably met.

Reusable vs. Single-Use: What the EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) Means for Your Packaging
Reusable or single-use? For a long time, this was purely a question of cost. Since 12 August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has had a say as well: from 2030, transport packaging used for transport between a company's own sites and for domestic deliveries must be fully reusable. This article explains how single-use and reusable packaging differ, what their advantages and disadvantages are, and what the PPWR specifically means for thermoformed trays, inlays, blisters and workpiece carriers.
