Winning collaboration
When we collaborate with our healthcare customers on a thermoformed trays project, you can count on an unrivalled concept-to-market partnership that leverages our packaging engineering expertise.
During the product development process, from day one to delivery, our customers receive full visibility and can interact with our team at every step in the journey. To help streamline the design and development process, your own packaging team will be in direct contact with Amcor’s design and project engineers.
The journey starts with an initial technical briefing to understand your packaging challenges deeply, whether those are sterility, transit resistance, performance in situ, improving sustainability attributes, or reducing total cost of ownership. We can produce 3D printed design concepts to minimize steel tooling iterations and can apply comprehensive digital and physical testing services to ensure that your packaging is optimized and fit for purpose.

A Partner in Sustainability
Amcor is committed to finding more sustainable packaging solutions. Our thermoformed trays offering includes more sustainable options to support you on your sustainability journey.
To help you achieve your packaging sustainability goals, ASSET™ provides you with a rigorous life-cycle assessment to compare the environmental impact of different packaging options and configurations. An ASSET™ assessment starts with the source of raw materials, factors in the energy used to transform them, water consumption, emissions into the environment, transport, and the packaging's end-of-use.
Certified by the Carbon Trust, our ASSET™ model identifies opportunities for improving environmental performance and helps you make informed, fact-based decisions.
