Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

Custom plastic forming solutions built for performance.

 

Industrial Custom Products (ICP) manufactures custom thermoformed and vacuum-formed plastic parts for OEMs. As an ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturer with over 70 years of experience, we deliver parts that meet your needs.

From design assistance to final assembly, ICP helps engineering, procurement, and operations teams streamline production, cut lead time, and reduce costs with dependable plastic fabrication.

Why Choose ICP for Thermoforming and Vacuum Forming?

ICP isn’t a parts vendor — we’re a true manufacturing partner, serving your custom needs.

Our consultative approach bridges the gap between design intent and manufacturability, helping you move from concept to production with fewer delays and better outcomes. When you partner with ICP, you get the support you need no matter your role.

  • For Engineers: CAD collaboration, material knowledge & expertise, and DFM feedback.
  • For Procurement: Lower tooling costs, shorter lead times, and consistent supply-chain delivery.
  • For Operations: Reliable fabrication and quality assurance across every production run.

How Thermoforming and Vacuum Forming Work

Thermoforming shapes heated thermoplastic sheets over a mold using vacuum pressure, producing strong, lightweight parts with clean detail and uniform thickness.

ICP offers both thermoforming and vacuum forming — each tailored to your application’s geometry, durability, and volume needs.

We do NOT offer injection molding services, which are better suited for very high volume, small parts.

Injection Molding

❌ Tooling Cost: High

❌ Lead Time: Long

❌ Ideal Run Size: Very High (over 10,000 units)

❌ Part Size: Small

❌ Design Changes: Costly to change

Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

✅ Tooling Cost: Extremely low

✅  Lead Time: Short (weeks)

✅  Ideal Run Size: Singular to Large (up to 10,000 EAU)

✅ Part Size: Medium, Large, or Oversized

✅  Design Changes: Cost and lead time dependent on how in depth the change is. We can help provide recommendations that will keep costs and lead times to a minimum. 

Choose thermoforming when you need large parts, faster turnaround, and lower tooling costs without compromising strength or appearance.

Solving Production Problems

If your current supplier struggles with quality or delivery, ICP can help.

Our engineers specialize in troubleshooting thermoformed parts, correcting warping, thinning, and dimensional issues. We can re-engineer your design or optimize fabrication processes to restore consistency and improve final results.

Troubleshooting Current Production and Fixing Problems with Existing Designs

ICP takes on projects where other vacuum forming companies struggle to deliver quality parts on time. We’ve handled these before, and we’ll do it again for you. Get in touch with us and get your project back on the right track.

Our heavy gauge thermoforming expertise can be used to either re-design the part or optimize the manufacturing process to eliminate defects. If you currently have a vacuum-formed part that is giving you problems, contact us for a free evaluation.
