CUSTOM THERMOFORMING
Shirley K’s provides world class service to many customers that own their own tooling.
In addition to this, we also provide custom heavy gauge thermoforming for OEM manufacturers. The team makes the plastic parts that manufacturers use to assemble their products such as covers, enclosures, shrouds, bezels, guards, and other components. Beyond individual parts, we also produce reusable packaging for them to efficiently have their other components shipped. Service remains our primary focus in this area – customers love us and stay with us because they know they will get their parts on time, every time. For them to make their product, they have to have ours, and they know they can count on Shirley K's.
