Arrowhead specializes in manufacturing high-quality, custom vacuum formed plastic storage trays designed for demanding high-volume assembly line environments. These trays—also referred to as thermoformed dunnage trays or plastic material handling containers—are engineered to hold and protect parts throughout the various stages of manufacturing, storage, and transportation.

Each vacuum formed plastic storage tray is custom molded to fit the contours of the product it holds, ensuring secure placement and reducing the risk of damage or misalignment during handling. In fast-paced assembly operations, proper part orientation is crucial. These form-fitting trays keep components in their correct positions as they move down the line, improving production efficiency and consistency.

Beyond in-line production use, our trays also serve as reusable storage and transport solutions before, during, and after assembly. Unlike disposable materials like cardboard or foam inserts, our trays are made from durable thermoplastics that can withstand repeated use without degrading. This results in long-term cost savings and a significant reduction in waste.

By switching to a vacuum formed plastic storage tray, manufacturers gain a cleaner, more organized way to manage parts throughout their process. These trays help streamline product flow, support lean manufacturing principles, and improve workplace safety by reducing clutter and confusion on the line.

Arrowhead offers a variety of material options, including ABS, HIPS, and other engineered thermoplastics, with configurations customized to your specific part geometry and handling needs. Whether you’re launching a new product or improving an existing workflow, our team can help design and produce a reliable tray solution that meets your exact requirements.
