Thermoform Packaging Design Capabilities


Thermoform package design combines engineering precision with manufacturability to ensure your packaging performs as intended. From initial concept to production-ready design, Dordan’s in-house team delivers thermoform packaging solutions that balance form, fit, and performance. 

Using Siemens NX Solid Modeling software, Dordan’s packaging engineers develop custom thermoformed solutions tailored to product protection, manufacturing efficiency, and functionality. Whether reverse engineering physical samples, working from customer-supplied CAD files, or designing from scratch, our team delivers accurate, production-ready designs.

We Provide:

  • Photorealistic Renderings

  • Engineering Drawings

  • 3D printed prototypes

  • 3D Model Files

  • Prototypes formed on machined tooling 

  • Risk-Based Engineering

  • Design-For-Manufacturability Evaluations

  • Final Production Drawing

Thermoform Design Process


 Integrated Engineering Workflow:

  • Before engineering begins, cross-functional reviews from engineering, production, and quality control determine design risks, performance criteria, and quality control checkpoints.

  • Dordan uses Siemens NX CAD Solid Modeling for custom thermoform part design

  • 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, polished, and assembled in-house.

Medical Thermoform Package Design


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.
