Dordan specializes in the design and development of custom thermoformed packaging solutions, like medical packaging, clamshells, blisters, inserts, and dunnage trays. We employ a risk based approach to engineering integrated with design for manufacturing principles to supply high quality packaging that meets the requirements of the customer.
Dordan uses Siemens NX CAD for developing its thermoform packaging designs. Structured by the ISO quality management system, our engineering process is highly documented and thorough to ensure each potential failure scenario has been addressed before developing a design. We provide:
Photorealistic Renderings
Engineering Drawings
3D printed prototypes
3D Model Files
Risk-Based Engineering
Design-For-Manufacturability Evaluations
Final Production Drawing
Clamshells, Blisters, and Insert Trays: Secure, organize, and display consumer products. Designed for visibility, retail presentation, and impact resistance.
Dunnage, Shipping, & Assembly Trays: Durable trays engineered to protect automotive and industrial components. Ideal for shipping, WIP, and robotic assembly integration.
Medical Trays & Packaging: Designed to ensure sterility, compliance, and device integrity. Manufactured in or out of our ISO Class 8 cleanroom
Our thermoform design process includes:
Cross-functional reviews from engineering, production, and quality control determine design risks, performance criteria, and quality control checkpoints.
3D printing and prototyping for rapid validation
After prototype approval, production tooling and components are machined using identical tool paths, minimizing translation errors and ensuring repeatability.
All tooling components — from assist plugs and trim dies to pressure boxes and EOAT — are built and assembled in-house.
We specialize in custom medical thermoform package design for Class I, II, and III devices, offering solutions that support sterile barrier systems, aseptic presentation, and regulatory requirements. Our medical packaging design services include:
Device-Specific Forming Cavities: Tailored to the geometry and handling needs of surgical tools, implants, diagnostic components, and kits.
Aseptic Presentation Considerations: Trays are engineered for intuitive loading and access during sterile field transfer, supporting clinician usability.
Sterile Barrier System Integration: Designs accommodate Tyvek®, film, or foil lidstock to create validated sterile packaging systems.
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 13485:2016 Support: Our design process aligns with key regulatory standards and validation requirements.
Rapid Prototyping & Iteration: Fully integrated design and tooling services allow for quick design and prototype iterations.
Dordan is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified. Our quality management system is the foundation of our design services. We are responsible for full document control and revision tracking, design retention and traceability, and rigorous pre-production review and in-process quality checks.
