A two dimensional image will not match the multiple planes of a contoured shape if it is spread over that shape. The name comes from the process of configuring an image to a three dimensional surface. It will allow for a graphically intense, full color image to be formed over a three dimensional mold, for a final product that can be prominently displayed as a retail display or marquee. This method will give an end result that has a WOW factor like nothing else. Distortion Print Thermoforming follows the same process as Standard Vacuum Thermoforming, the difference being the look of the final product. It is then either draped or drawn over a mold to create a specific shape.

That plastic is brought up to a temperature hot enough to make it formable. Thermoforming is a simple process that starts with a flat sheet of extruded plastic as its raw material.
