Custom Food Packaging Solutions

With 13 CNC milling machines, three in-house prototype thermoformers, and a dedicated team, we turn prototypes around fast — usually within one week. Our in-house capabilities mean our prototypes are very cost-competitive. Because we make them from the same materials and with the same factory process, they are a close representation of your finished product.

Lacerta designs and makes all our production tools in our dedicated, in-house machine shop.

Our factories house 48 state-of-the-art thermoforming machines capable of producing millions of packages per year, and we continuously invest in the latest thermoforming technology to ensure our customers receive low-cost, consistent, high-quality products. 

Our tools are designed for custom quick change-overs so that we can respond quickly to evolving customer needs and deliver on a timely basis.

Good for the environment, our five extruders allow us to convert FDA-compliant post-consumer recycled material, respond quickly to changing customer needs, and stay a low-cost supplier.

As a leading supplier of printed lids, our in-house printer can print up to four colors. Our dedicated print department works with customers to develop custom print designs that pop on the shelf.

Lacerta’s dedicated quality team and quality systems are the cornerstone of our operations. We begin new projects by identifying essential product performance requirements in collaboration with our customers. Throughout the process, our trained operators monitor production through regular quality inspections.

Our materials and parts are consistently evaluated in our Quality Lab, home to the latest measurement tools, such as a Magna-Mike to measure material distribution, an Optical Comparator to evaluate form consistency, and Sealing Tools to measure lidding film compatibility.
