BRYAN MFG is primarily a custom thermoforming facility, with products that range from simple PVC blisters for packaging, to specialty grades of conductive plastics for electrical component trays.
Our physical plant is located in the heart of New England's manufacturing community, but our customers are located all over the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
Over the course of some 40+ years of manufacturing thermoformed plastics, we have managed to build up a sizable inventory of tools that we are able to offer for general use to any of our current or prospective customers. We have posted both our CLAMSHELL and BLISTER tool inventory, but find our supply of over 400 parts/handling & shipping trays far too extensive to list completely.
TRI-FOLDS
If you are interested in a "stock" tray -- either to assist and organize the in-house assembly process, or to load with parts for bulk shipping -- please contact us and ask for one of our sales engineers to discuss available tray configurations and designs.
Our stock trays have basic cavity shapes, but the majority of the trays we manufacture
have cavities that are custom designed to fit the shape of the part . Many times these designs are intended to "match up" parts, or to separate components of a unit for assembly purposes.
Not all cavity shapes within the tray have to be the same.
Often a tray will also have a snap-on cover.
Cavity depths can range from .010" up to 3.00".
Trays can also have a number of design features, such as indentations on the sides/ends for easy removal from tight fitting shipping boxes, "stacking lugs "so parts will not be touched by the stacking of trays, finger spaces for removal of parts that "snap-in" to the cavity, and areas of the tray that can have identification words or codes/numbers embossed into them.
Our plastic types include basic hi-impact & co-extruded polystyrene ,
a variety of flocked polystyrenes, ABS, PETG, PVC, polypropylene, and some specialty medical and conductive substrates.
Typical applications for a thermoformed tray include
sub-assembling, intra-department handling of sensitive parts, inter-facility transfers, stock inventorying,
bulk shipping, and secondary operation enclosures.
Another version of a tray is referred to as an INSERT. These are basically trays that may hold only one object, or arrange a multiple component item in an organized arrangement for visual effect.
Typically, these trays are "inserted" into folding cartons or rigid presentation boxes.
The plastics selected for these applications are often used to enhance the appearance of the product being promoted. Popular substrates are co-extruded polystyrene with a clear crystal surface layer that produces a
"HIGH GLOSS" effect, FLOCK COATED 
styrene for a simulated velvet
appearance, or simply have an
EMBOSSED surface.
Often the forming tool itself can be cut or machined to give a special effect to the surface of the tray.
The most common users of these presentation trays are cosmetic, jewelry, and toy manufacturers.
Our "other" specialty area is
CLEAR PACKAGING
for the retail market.
Retail outlets, as well as quality conscious consumers, are requiring products be packaged in pilfer-proof, highly visible containers. We have been manufacturing clear PVC Clamshells, Tri-Folds and Blisters since they were first introduced many years ago. We have supplied some of the most recognizable names in retail marketing with high-quality clear packaging for more years than most other forming operations have been in business. It is the lessons learned from this experience that keep those customers coming back to us.
Do you really want to be the "test run" for someone
else's next attempt to see "if this will work" ?
Our technical knowledge of the various sealing methods used for this type of plastic packaging will help you choose the best -- and the most cost effective -- method of presenting your product.
We will provide formed samples for testing and prototyping according to your blueprints or sample parts
free of charge with tooling orders. This will allow you to check the fit of your product, and make minor adjustments and changes, prior to production tooling.
Clamshell with foot
We have no quantity limits for our production orders
whether you are in need of only a few dozen pieces, or want
more than a million over the course of a year !
NO ONE comes close to us for small quantity production order pricing !
Our modern in-house tooling facility, with a full range of machining equipment,
enables us to consider and complement your designed part with secondary operations, including second level die-cutting and trimming,
labeling, and 2nd piece attachments.
Bryan Mfg. has developed a number of different option areas to keep the costs of tooling for your package under control. We have stock frames, insert frames, multi-cavity frames, second-part inserts, standard "locking buttons", and a long list of trick-techniques to assure a clean looking clear package for any product.
Save $$$$$$$$ on blister tooling costs !!!
While Tri-folds and Clamshells require more elaborate tooling and frame structures, blisters and trays remain a relatively simple process. We have used our extensive history and experience building molds and forming these items to develope a system of tooling and machine set-up procedures that give us some of the lowest tooling costs in the industry. This is important to you when you are considering the start-up costs for a new product line, or your production quantities are just in the initial stages of your product's launch.
