Yesterday our team took a break to celebrate the 4th of July with an ice cream social at our facility in Woodstock, Illinois. It was a simple way to enjoy the summer, spend a little time together, and get a sugar-fix.
We’ve included a few photos from the day—nothing fancy, just a glimpse into the people behind the thermoform packaging.
Dordan Manufacturing, a leading ISO 13485:2016 certified medical packaging manufacturer, is proud to announce its participation in MD&M Midwest 2025, taking place October 21-22 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. As the Midwest’s premier trade show for medical device design and manufacturing, MD&M connects engineers, packaging professionals, and device manufacturers focused on innovation, automation, and compliance.
Since 1962, Dordan has proudly designed and manufactured custom thermoformed packaging right here in Chicagoland. Family-owned and operated for over 62 years, our business is built on the same values that define the holiday we celebrate: freedom, resilience, and pride in American ingenuity.
From a small shop to an ISO-certified facility serving some of the most demanding markets—medical, automotive, electronics, and industrial—we’ve evolved, but never outsourced our commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing.
As an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified thermoform packaging manufacturer, Dordan is committed to delivering quality, consistency, and compliance—especially for customers in highly regulated markets like medical devices and automotive.
To meet diverse customer requirements and project scopes, Dordan implements a tiered quality control (QC) system, offering several levels of inspection and validation protocols. These ensure that every package meets critical dimensional, functional, and regulatory benchmarks.
Dordan Manufacturing recently installed a new prototyping press—the Formech HD 1000c-T—as part of our continued investment in packaging development capabilities. This equipment upgrade enhances our ability to support customers, particularly those in the medical device industry, who often require multiple prototype iterations as part of their design and validation process.
Understanding what drives the cost of custom thermoformed medical packaging is essential when evaluating suppliers. While every project Dordan manufactures is custom—meaning pricing is based on specific part requirements—there are consistent cost indicators across all medical packaging quotes.
This guide provides an overview of those key factors to help medical device manufacturers and procurement professionals make informed sourcing decisions.
We’re excited to invite you to attend the upcoming MD&M West conference and Expo in Anaheim, CA, and thrilled to offer you complimentary registration with our special exhibitor code!
