Available for production in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom or standard production facility, our trays are engineered for quality and performance. Medical handling trays made in our cleanroom are ideal for medical device manufacturers, contract packagers, and automation-driven assembly environments.

What Are Medical Handling Trays?


Medical handling trays are rigid thermoformed trays used to organize, protect, and transport medical components throughout assembly, kitting, or shipping operations.

These trays:

  • Ensure device protection during intra-facility or external transport

  • Are designed for stacking, nesting, and robotic handling

  • Support automated assembly line integration

  • Offer particulate control through cleanroom and ESD-compatible materials

Key Features of Thermoformed Medical Handling Trays


  • Stackability & Load-Bearing Design: Engineered to stack and rotate to provide product clearance. Here the weight of the load is supported by the tray perimeter.

  • Tight Form & Cut Tolerances: Designed with automation in mind where tighter-then-standard tolerances ensure performance consistency in high speed environments. 

  • Cleanroom Manufacturing: Medical component handling trays are thermoformed in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom to maintain safety and cleanliness. 

  • ESD-safe materials available for electronic and sensor-containing medical components.

Fully Integrated Tray Design & Manufacturing


Dordan offers end-to-end medical handling tray solutions with in house design, tooling, and cleanroom thermoforming.

In-house services:

  •  NX CAD Engineering: Siemens NX solid modeling of medical handling trays integrates customer priorities with the capabilities of thermoforming for manual and automated part handling operations. 

  • NX CAM CNC Machined Prototype & Production Tooling: Designed and produced in-house by the same team that engineers the handling tray, reducing translation errors and optimizing timelines. 

  • Plastics Thermoforming: 12 thermoforming machines for less critical medical component handling trays.

  • ISO Class 8 Certified Cleanroom Thermoforming: Hard-wall cleanroom monitors particulate levels for contamination-sensitive medical devices and components. 

  • ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016: Dordan's quality management system is the foundation of its packaging design, tooling, and manufacturing processes. These certifications ensure the on-time delivery of defect free medical component handling trays.

Cleanroom Manufacturing for Medical Handling Trays


Dordan is equipped with an ISO Class 8 cleanroom for the production of medical handling trays for particulate-sensitive applications.

Key cleanroom features:

  • Precision Equipment for Complex Geometries: Our ISO Class 8 cleanroom is outfitted with two Keifel thermoformers, capable of forming complex tray designs with consistent wall thickness and tight tolerances.

  • Controlled Airflow & Particulate Monitoring: The facility utilizes a filtered, cascading airflow system and undergoes regular particulate count testing to ensure compliance with ISO Class 8 standards. 

  • Dedicated Zones for Gowning & Material Flow: Separate entry points for personnel and raw materials reduce cross-contamination risk, supporting uninterrupted cleanroom operations.

  • Validated Sanitation & Maintenance Protocols: Routine deep cleans and documented maintenance schedules ensure cleanliness and process integrity between and during production runs.

  • Quality Control: Enhanced inspection, documentation, and CPK studies
