Dordan Manufacturing is a 63 year-old custom thermoformer of medical packaging, dunnage trays, clamshells, blisters, and insert trays. Serving a range of industries from consumer to industrial, Dordan's thermoformed packaging is designed, tooled, and manufactured onsite because it allows for better quality, condensed timelines, and cost control.
Thermoforming takes malleable plastic sheet, forms it on a tool, and then die cuts the package from the plastic web.
Non Sterile Medical Packaging: Medical and healthcare packaging that does not require production in a cleanroom.
Automotive Dunnage & Assembly Trays: Designed for disposal, reuse, or return, thermoformed automotive dunnage trays protect products throughout the supply chain and facilitate automated assembly operations.
ESD-Safe Electronics Trays: Anti-stat, ESD, and conductive thermoformed packaging for sensitive industrial and consumer electronics and components.
Consumer Product Packaging: Clamshells, blisters, and inserts that enhance shelf appeal, offer tamper resistance, and enhance brand presentation.
Industrial Part Handling Trays: Heavy-duty dunnage and shipping trays used for storing, staging, or protecting parts during assembly or shipment.
Siemens NX CAD: Our packaging engineers utilize Siemens NX CAD for developing package designs. We employ a risk based approach to engineering with design for manufacturing principles. The result is high quality thermoformed packaging consistently manufactured to spec. Dordan's engineering department provides model files, engineering drawings, 3D printed parts, and prototypes.
NX CAD/CAM In-House Tooling: All aluminum prototype and production tooling is built on-site using CNC machining and custom components, including syntactic foam plug assists and heated cutting dies. The same designer who develops the packaging concept also programs the CNC tool paths, reducing translation errors for optimized quality control.
Prototyping & Sampling: We support early-stage validation with fast-turn prototypes and small-run samples using production-grade tooling and materials. Our prototype tooling is machined from a single block of aluminum. Once approved, the geometry is replicated over the surface of the production tool via step and repeat, eliminating inconsistencies in cavity dimensions.
ISO Class 8 Cleanroom: Our ISO Class 8 cleanroom is a controlled environment where the level of particulate and bioburden agents are minimized. This is ideal for medical devices that require sterility.
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 13485 Certification: Supporting traceability, process validation, and regulatory compliance for medical, automotive, and industrial packaging.
Our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified Quality Management System ensures that each thermoformed product meets the quality and performance requirements of the customer. These certifications validate our commitment to quality management, traceability, and regulatory compliance for medical device packaging and other high-precision markets.
The key quality control measures include:
Pre-Production Inspections: We conduct thorough inspections of incoming materials to verify quality and traceability, ensuring that only compliant materials enter the production process.
First Article Inspection & Validation: Initial samples are evaluated to confirm that they meet all design and functional requirements before full-scale production begins.
In-Process Monitoring: We monitor critical parameters throughout the thermoforming process to maintain consistency and detect any deviations in real-time.
Process Capability Analysis (CPK): Our thermoforming is designed to achieve a CPK of 1.33 or higher, indicating a high level of process capability and product consistency.
Post-Production Quality Assurance: Finished products undergo final inspections to verify that they meet all specified requirements before packaging and shipment.
