Tech/Engineering - Other / type of packaging | | Dutch term or phrase: dieptrek | I've come across the term "thermoforming" but can't track down definitions to know for sure whether it's the same as "dieptrek". Any help welcome! X is a company that produces veal.

| | gethermovormd | Explanation:
Thermoforming is thermovormen. De folie wordt opgewarmd en wordt vervolgens in een matrijs diepgetrokken. In die zin is thermovormen dus hetzelfde als dieptrekken. Alleen spreekt men in een verpakkingsonderneming altijd van thermovormen, zelden van dieptrekken. Gezien de toepassing hier voor de vleesverwerkende industrie is, is ze minder kritisch (behalve op het vlak van hygiene) dan bvb. een blister voor een pacemaker. Een alternatief is "blister". Staat misschien nog beter tussen skinpack en atmosverpakking. |

| Grading comment I think Ballistic has put me on the right track. Thermoforming definitely seems to be the name of the process involved, but "blister", being a type of packaging, seems to fit into the list better. Found this definition of thermoforming: "A process of forming thermoplastic sheet which consists of heating the sheet and forcing it into or over a mold by vacuum or mechanical or air pressure. Used to produce blisters, skin packs and thin-wall containers or components." Tried to double-check with the client, but that only served to alert them to the fact that I'd been given the wrong text to translate!! :-( So although Kate came up with thermoforming, points go to Ballistic as I think in the context some linear thinking was needed. One of the links he gives also mentions the phrase "thermoformed blister packs". Thanks, everyone.
