Storage trays manufactured by Toolcraft Plastics of Swindon can now carry a vacuum formed message on that they are "reusable".
Over the years, Toolcraft have helped a number of companies to change from in-house to sub contract moulding, relieving them of burdens such as legislative changes and expenses and enabling them to concentrate on their more profitable core activities.

With over 40 machines from 10 - 180 ton, including 20 suited to insert, encapsulation and two colour overmoulding, coupled with experience of wide range of plastics including thermoplastic rubbers and elastomers, their is ample capacity for more tools.
