Thick-sheet thermoforming offers significant engineering and economic advantages; in the packaging manufacturing industry, unless corrugated cardboard is used as the packaging material, thick‑sheet blister‑forming technology cannot match the performance of other processing methods. The primary advantage of thick‑sheet blister forming lies in its cost‑effectiveness.

Thick‑plate thermoforming, also known as thick‑plate vacuum forming, refers to a process in which the primary raw material used has a thickness exceeding 2 mm. Such parts cannot be produced on a fully automated, intelligent thermoforming machine; instead, they are manufactured using a semi‑automatic thermoforming press specifically designed for producing architectural thick plates.
