Durable, Traceable Solutions for Demanding Defense Applications
From rugged field units to protective handling trays, defense plastic thermoforming plays a critical role in safeguarding military equipment at every stage of deployment and production. Tru-Form Plastics forms custom plastic components that meet strict specifications for durability, compliance, and full material traceability.
Our team supports both mission-critical applications and internal manufacturing needs. As an ITAR-compliant thermoforming company, we meet the regulatory expectations and process standards required by the Department of Defense and its contractors.
Built for Field Use
Thermoformed military & defense products are often exposed to harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, abrasion, and transport stress. We use flame-retardant substrates and specialty coatings to help ensure long-term performance and MIL-SPEC compliance.
Typical field applications include:
- Portable unit housings and structural panels
- Instrument covers and protective shrouds
- Components finished with anti-reflective or signal-reducing coatings
We support program requirements such as:
- NADCAP-certified special processes
- MIL-STD 186F: Protective finishes
- MIL-STD-130: Identification and marking
Protective Handling Containers
Inside the facility, our thermoformed plastic packaging solutions protect intricate parts throughout assembly, testing, and transit. We form custom containers from materials like polycarbonate and flame-retardant ABS, shaped to match part geometry and prevent movement or damage.
Key features include:
- Secure fit and material integrity
- Fire-resistant plastic options
- Full lot traceability from resin to finished product
Program Support from Concept to Delivery
We deliver custom thermoforming services and solutions for defense projects with a structured, in-house process that includes:
- DFM input and early-stage prototyping
- In-house tooling for thermoforming
