Custom Plastic Manufacturing You Can Trust
Established more than 25 years ago in Jet Park, Johannesburg, The Plastics Workshop is a family-owned thermoforming and fabrication business dedicated to quality craftsmanship and friendly, reliable service.
Custom Plastic Manufacturing
If You Can Imagine It, We Can Mould It
Every great product starts with an idea — ours is turning that idea into a precisely manufactured reality. We specialise in custom plastic manufacturing using a wide range of signage and engineering-grade plastics, tailored to your exact specifications.
What sets our manufacturing apart:
- 25+ years of family-owned craftsmanship and experience
- Engineering and signage-grade plastic materials
- Substrates like wood, steel, and aluminium incorporated on request
- Fully custom designs, built to your project's exact needs
Whether it's a one-off prototype or a full production run, our team manages your project from concept through to a finished, ready-to-use product.
Vacuum Forming
Shaped by Heat, Perfected by Precision
Vacuum forming is at the heart of what we do. This specialised thermoforming process transforms flat plastic sheeting into precisely shaped, durable components — ideal for signage, displays, packaging, and industrial applications of any complexity.
Why vacuum forming works:
- Creates strong, lightweight, custom-shaped components
- Cost-effective for both small runs and larger production volumes
- Versatile across signage, retail, and industrial uses
- Delivers a clean, professional finish every time
From simple shapes to complex geometries, our vacuum forming process ensures a consistent, high-quality result.
Plastic & Perspex Fabrications
Built to Stand Out, Not Blend In
Our plastic and Perspex fabrication services combine skilled craftsmanship with material versatility. Whether you need a display stand, protective enclosure, or architectural feature, we fabricate products designed to perform and to impress.
Our fabrication capabilities include:
- Custom Perspex and plastic fabrication
- Integration of wood, steel, and aluminium into designs
- Precision assembly for a clean, professional finish
- Solutions for retail, commercial, and industrial applications
We help your product stand apart from generic, off-the-shelf alternatives.
Silkscreen Printing
Your Brand, Printed to Perfection
First impressions matter, and our silkscreen printing ensures your branding, signage, and designs are presented with sharp detail and lasting durability — printed directly onto plastic and Perspex surfaces.
Benefits of our silkscreen printing:
- Vibrant, long-lasting print results
- Durable finish suited to indoor and outdoor use
- Custom branding for signage, displays, and products
- Consistent quality across large or small print runs
Make sure your brand looks as professional as the products it's printed on.
