thermoformed
Plastic made pliable
Thermoformed describes something shaped by heating plastic until pliable, then molding it over a form.
The process creates packaging, trays, containers, and automotive parts.
The thermoformed blister pack held the pills securely.
Most disposable plastic containers—from yogurt cups to clamshell cases—are thermoformed.
