Custom packaging engineered for manufacturing

Dordan designs custom thermoformed trays, blisters, clamshells, and inserts for medical, electronics, automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. Using Siemens NX CAD, our engineers develop packaging around product dimensions, material selection, part protection, handling, and thermoforming requirements.

Our integrated design process considers forming feasibility, tooling, and production efficiency early in development. For automation and assembly applications, we evaluate part orientation, pick access, repeatability, and tray consistency to support reliable downstream operations.

With design, prototyping, tooling, and thermoforming capabilities in-house, Dordan supports packaging development from initial concept through production. Medical packaging programs are additionally supported by ISO 13485-certified quality systems and ISO Class 8 cleanroom manufacturing.

Packaging design & development process

From engineering review and CAD modeling to in-house tooling and production

Risk-Based Design Review

Cross-functional engineering reviews evaluate product geometry, material distribution, sealing requirements, handling, and manufacturability before design development.

NX CAD Modeling

Using Siemens NX CAD, Dordan develops engineering drawings and 3D packaging models, evaluates tolerances, and prepares engineering documentation to support tooling and production.

Prototype & Production Tooling

Dordan machines prototype and production tooling in-house to support design intent, manufacturability, dimensional accuracy, and consistent formed-part quality.

Custom thermoforming

Thermoforming & Quality Control

Engineered designs transition into thermoforming production with in-process inspections and quality controls to support consistent part dimensions and performance.
