Thermoformed automotive trays & packaging

Thermoformed automotive packaging includes custom dunnage trays, work-in-process (WIP) trays, and assembly trays designed to protect, organize, and position automotive components throughout manufacturing, inspection, assembly, storage, and distribution.

Automotive packaging requirements vary based on component geometry, weight, surface sensitivity, and handling processes. Custom thermoformed trays incorporate engineered cavities, retention features, and stackable configurations to minimize part movement, maintain orientation, and support manual or automated manufacturing operations.

For returnable packaging programs, thermoformed dunnage trays can be designed for repeated handling and integration with reusable containers and totes. Material selection and tray design are evaluated based on durability, component protection, and application-specific performance requirements.

Dordan supports automotive packaging programs through integrated package design, in-house CNC-machined tooling, thermoforming, and ISO-certified quality management systems, with PPAP documentation available as required.
