What is Tooling?
For BMG, tooling is the process of custom-designing, engineering and creating the precise and durable molds and cutting tools that are necessary to mass-produce parts or products with thermoforming or paper forming machines. Some of the products that use our tooling are berry baskets, condiment packs, food trays, blister packs, cups, flower pots, sinks, numbers, automotive panels, kayaks, coolers and so much more.
