Thermoformed packaging for retail applications can take several forms. Clamshells, blisters and insert trays are the most popular packaging formats for protecting and selling products at retail.
Popular types of thermoformed retail packaging:
Clamshell Packaging: Hinged containers that encase products completely, offering tamper resistance and clear visibility.
Plastic Blister: Formed cavities sealed with backing materials for practical and aesthetic retail display
Insert Trays: Custom-fitted trays that organize and protect items within outer packaging, perfect for cosmetics, electronics, and gift sets.
Trapped Blisters: Combining thermoformed blisters with printed paperboard for added security and branding opportunities.

We offer a fully integrated approach to custom retail packaging—from concept to production—under one roof. Our in-house capabilities streamline development, reduce lead times, and ensure the highest level of quality control throughout every stage of the process.
Our in house capabilities include:
Custom Package Design: Dordan uses Siemens NX for the development of its retail packaging. Through collaboration with customers, we create designs that optimize the capabilities of thermoforming to allow for the production of high quality retail packaging.
Prototype and Production Tooling: NX CAD/CAM CNC tooling programmed by the same packaging engineers that develop the packaging concept reduces translation errors and optimizes quality control. All prototyping and production tooling is machined out of a solid block of aluminum, and step and repeat programming across the production tooling surface eliminates any cavity inconsistency.
Thermoforming: We have 14 thermoforming lines housed within a 50,000 sq. ft. facility. We are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified, with expertise in plastic materials and retail display strategy.
