In this episode of Wrappy Hour, we sit down once again with Ken Forziati, Thermoforming Product Manager at Harpak-ULMA, to unpack the evolving world of thermoform packaging. With a deep background in packaging films and a sharp eye for solution-driven innovation, Ken shares his perspective on how thermoforming is helping food and medical manufacturers meet modern demands for sustainability, automation, and performance.
From format flexibility and material efficiency to tooling strategies and smart automation, Ken walks us through the advantages of thermoforming—and where it fits in a competitive packaging landscape. Whether you're new to the format or looking to level up your line, this episode is packed with insights into why thermoforming remains a cornerstone for producers navigating cost pressures, labor shortages, and changing consumer expectations.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
