Packaging Inserts & Protective Packaging

Plastic Tray Inserts (PET/PP Thermoformed)

Thermoformed plastic trays are produced by heating a flat PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene) sheet and vacuum-forming it over a mold. The plastic conforms to the mold contours, creating recessed pockets, channels, and supports sized to the product. PET produces a clear tray with glass-like transparency; PP produces a more flexible tray in natural or pigmented colors.

Thermoformed trays are used in cosmetics, confectionery, medical device packaging, food presentation, and retail display. Clear PET trays are preferred when the insert creates a premium visual impression. PP is preferred for heavier-duty applications or where flexibility is needed for product insertion and removal.

Got Questions?

frequently asked questions

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Boxes and insert cards start at 2,500 units. Poly mailers and pouches run 5,000-10,000 units. Glass and custom bottles sit higher, 5,000-10,000 units, because mold tooling gets expensive below that. Send us your project details and we'll give you an exact MOQ and quote. No back-and-forth guessing games.

What materials do you manufacture in?

Pretty much everything.

Paper (cardstock, corrugated, chipboard, kraft), plastic (PET, HDPE, PP, bioplastics), glass (jars, bottles, vials, droppers), and metal (tin containers, aluminum). If your product needs packaging, we've probably made something like it before.

We also handle all the finishes that make packaging feel worth keeping: foil stamping, embossing, soft-touch lamination, spot UV, custom die cuts, Pantone matching. The stuff that turns a box into an experience (and gets you those unboxing videos).

If you don't see it listed here, ask anyway. What's on our site is honestly just the starting point.

What does it mean that Paking Duck is a "one-stop shop"?

It means you stop juggling vendors.

Boxes, pouches, bottles, jars, tins, stickers, labels, tissue paper, packing paper, poly mailers, freight. All from us. One point of contact, one production timeline, one invoice. That's the whole pitch.

Most brands piece their packaging together across 4 or 5 suppliers, then spend half their time playing project manager between all of them. We've worked with over 1,000 brands and the ones who consolidate with us always say the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner. Less coordination, fewer surprises, and one team that's accountable from concept through delivery.

Where are your manufacturing facilities?

Southern China. We run production through our own facilities and dedicated factory partners in Fuzhou, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, with a team on the ground managing everything.

That means we're not sending specs overseas and hoping for the best. Our people are in the factories overseeing quoting, sampling, and QC in person. We handle DDP shipping straight to your door (or your 3PL), so you don't have to think about freight, customs, or any of that.

‍

The equipment matters too. Our production facilities run printing and finishing machines imported from Germany and Japan. That's how we hit the quality that brands like Madhappy, Tower 28, and Venus et Fleur expect on every run.
