Dordan Manufacturing is an ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of custom medical blister packaging for pharmaceutical and healthcare applications. We specialize in thermoformed medical blisters that provide sterile barrier protection for oral drugs, topical medications, and unit-dose formulations—ensuring product safety, integrity, and ease of use.
With over 62 years of experience, Dordan offers in-house design, tooling, thermoforming, and cleanroom manufacturing, delivering high-precision blister packaging trusted by medical device OEM's, pharmaceutical companies, and their supply chain partners.
Medical blisters are low-profile, thermoformed plastic cavities sealed with lidstock (e.g., foil, Tyvek®, or paperboard) to create unit-dose packaging for pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
These Blisters:
Create a sterile barrier system for product safety and efficacy
Offer tamper evidence and extended shelf life
Enable controlled dosing and contamination prevention
Enhance product visibility, organization, and convenience
Engineered for precision, Dordan’s medical blister trays and packaging offer consistent performance from fulfillment to end use:
Tight Tolerances for Repeatability: Formed cavity-to-cavity and form-to-cut specifications are continuously measured, monitored, and recorded during production to ensure consistent quality.
Clean Cut Edges with Heated Steel Dies: Heated stainless-steel cutting dies, paired with automated stripping and stacking modules, eliminate sharp edges and streamline downstream handling.
Optimized Tag Placement: Strategic tag design minimizes edge roughness and improves user safety during product opening.
Efficient, Low-Profile Designs: Locator features in the tooling ensure accurate die alignment for high-speed, high-volume blister production.
