Custom thermoformed trays for auto parts, electronics, and sensitive components
Design, molds, prototypes, and production all happen under one roof. We build process, logistics, and ESD trays around your part's geometry and the way your production runs.
- Made in Brazil
- No MOQ, from pilot run to production
- ESD protection when needed
- Robot-ready matrix trays
Three industries, one tray engineering team
Automotive
Machined, cast, and stamped parts, gears, hubs, wire harnesses, and electronic modules, from supplier to OEM assembly line.
Electronics
Assembled PCBs (PCBAs), SSDs, memory modules, connectors, power supplies, and SMD components, with ESD protection when needed and precision for automated handling.
Sensitive components
Lenses, sensors, glass, displays, and painted or chrome-plated surfaces that need protection from scratches, particles, and contact.
Four tray types, each with its own job
ESD trays
Conductive or static dissipative, in the appropriate ESD class for your application.
Process and automation trays
Precise part positioning for production lines, robots, and vision systems, including robot-ready matrix trays.
Returnable trays
Built for repeated trips between areas of your plant, or between supplier and customer.
Inserts, lids, and blisters
Layered protection for shipping high-value components.
Functional tray
A tray from Termotray does more than hold a part. It protects the part (including against electrostatic discharge), organizes the line, speeds up counting, and simplifies transport. Every tray is specified for the job it has to do.
- Protects the part
- Organizes the line
- Speeds up counting
- Simplifies transport
From part to volume production in five stages
Discovery
A review of the part, volume, life cycle, and where the tray will be used.
Concept
A 3D design with your part already positioned in the cavity.
Prototype
A physical sample to test fit and handling.
Validation
A pilot run tested in your actual operation before the production mold is made.
Production
Volume production with in-house tooling and consistent dimensions, lot after lot.
Why choose Termotray
Material specified up front
Plastic type, wall thickness, and ESD protection are defined in the design.
Error-proof
With poka-yoke (error-proofing), the cavity won't accept a flipped part or the wrong part.
Less part damage
Parts stay protected, counted, and correctly oriented throughout the process.
Evolves with your part
When your part is revised, we update the tray design.
8% to 33% of product losses in electronics are attributed to static electricity
Source: ESD Association estimate. Much of this damage is latent: the part passes testing and fails later, in the field.
Part damage and rework
Parts without proper support suffer impacts, scratches, and deformation in transit.
Electrostatic discharge
Circuit boards, sensors, and chips can be damaged by discharges too small to see or feel.
Particles and contamination
Cardboard and foam shed fibers. The VDA 19.2 technical cleanliness guideline identifies packaging as a source of contamination.
Wasted space and freight
Generic packaging wastes space, stacks poorly, and makes counting harder.
A good fit if you...
- Need consistent part positioning in every lot.
- Want to cut losses, rework, and checking time.
- Want to replace imported trays with ones designed and made in Brazil.
When Termotray may not be the best fit
Termotray develops custom engineered trays for industrial applications. We don't sell off-the-shelf trays or make food or retail packaging.

No. Not every part needs ESD protection. It depends on the component and the application. In general, exposed components need ESD protection, while encapsulated parts often don't. Before specifying the tray, Termotray assesses what actually needs protection and recommends the most suitable option.
No. Termotray doesn't sell off-the-shelf trays. Every tray is custom-designed around the part's geometry, the cavity layout, and the application, and specified for the job it will do.
Possibly. Termotray will evaluate your existing mold to see whether it can be reused, which would reduce your upfront investment. If you can, send your current tray, or photos of it, along with your part details to speed up the review.
Termotray needs four things to get started. The part: a physical sample, drawing, or 3D CAD file. The volume: quantity per lot and frequency of use. The workflow: where and how the tray will be used. The requirements: ESD protection when needed, technical cleanliness, a standard box or rack, and anything your customer specifies. With this information, Termotray's team reviews your application and prepares an initial tray proposal for your part.
What every tray buyer should know before writing a spec
Functional trays: how to specify by life cycle
How to specify a thermoformed tray: start with its life cycle, and only then define the material, wall thickness, and application requirements.
Conductive or dissipative: how to avoid overpaying
Conductive vs. dissipative ESD trays by application: where insulative material fits, typical resistance ranges, and what to check on incoming material.
Topical or in-resin: which ESD protection lasts as long as you need it
Anti-static packaging can lose its protection before the tray wears out. See how to match topical or in-resin anti-static to the tray's life cycle.
