Comic Book Protector

In the world of comic books, protecting the integrity of the item is critical to maintaining its value and ensuring its lifespan for generations to come.

The Challenge

Our client wanted to find a way to store and display higher-value comic books while not breaking the bank. While solutions existed on the market, they were simply too expensive. What their marketing needed was an inexpensive, but still very protective clear plastic container.

The Solution

Visipak’s design team worked with the inventor to create a thermoformed plastic “case” that would hold and protect the comic book, while still allowing both an easy view and easy access to the item. The team started by integrating a series of “support grooves” to give the tray some added rigidity. After this, they employed exterior channels to give the case even more support and accommodated a friction-fit lid.

The Result

In addition to meeting Acumed’s needs for quality, cleanliness and performance, the Visipak design team also worked to integrate branding into the packaging tray by engraving its name within the tooling. The end result was a highly successful thermoformed tray package supplied with consistency and traceability for years to come.
