Wayne Thornton started Thornton Plastics Company in 1948. He was the sole-owner for many years. The first product line consisted of Christmas bells, screwdriver handles, plastic spoons and plastic tumblers. In 1955 a new product line was created. It consisted of clear and amber colored plastic vials and bottles The vials and bottles were sold mainly to pharmacies and hobby stores.

In 1960 the company was incorporated. With a steady increase of bottle and vial sales, the other product lines were dropped. The vial product line grew to a total of 10 different sizes of bottles and vials, both clear and amber colored, ranging from a 3½-dram to a 50-dram vial or bottle (.125 ounces in a dram). In 1997, the amber vials and bottles were dropped from production with focus on the clear transparent bottles and vials.
