Dordan Thermoforming


We specialize in custom thermoforming for medical, industrial, and consumer packaging applications—producing everything from sterile medical trays to rugged dunnage and retail clamshells.

Key Benefits of Thermoforming:

  • Custom Fit & Function: Trays, blisters, and clamshells formed to the exact geometry of your product for protection and efficiency.

  • Speed & Scalability: Faster tooling and production setup than injection molding, ideal for both prototyping and high-volume runs.

  • Material Versatility: Wide range of plastics, including PETG, HIPS, HDPE, recycled, and ESD-safe materials.

  • Cleanroom Compatibility: Available in ISO Class 8 environment for sterile and contamination-sensitive packaging.

Thermoforming is ideal for packaging that requires durability, precision, and regulatory compliance—especially for medical device OEMs, industrial suppliers, and consumer brands.

Applications of Thermoforming


Thermoforming is a highly versatile process used to create durable, custom-fit packaging for a wide range of industries and product types. Whether for sterile medical devices or rugged industrial components, thermoformed packaging offers protection, organization, and manufacturing efficiency.

Common Thermoforming Applications Include:

  • Medical Trays and Packaging: Custom trays for implants, surgical kits, and diagnostics—designed for sterile barrier systems and cleanroom compatibility.

  • Automotive Dunnage & Assembly Trays: Disposable, reusable, and returnable trays for transporting and assembling components on production lines or in closed-loop logistics systems.

  • ESD-Safe Electronics Trays: Static-dissipative packaging for sensitive circuit boards, sensors, and modules in industrial electronics.

  • Consumer Product Packaging: Clamshells, blisters, and inserts that enhance shelf appeal, tamper resistance, and brand presentation.

  • Industrial Part Handling: Heavy-duty trays and inserts used for storing, staging, or protecting parts during assembly or shipment.

In-House Thermoforming Services


From thermoform packaging concept to production, our in-house approach ensures faster lead times, tighter process control, and consistent part quality for every custom packaging project.

  • Design to Production Alignment: Our packaging engineers, tooling technicians, and production staff work collaboratively to ensure your thermoformed packaging performs as designed

  • In-House Tooling Fabrication: All prototype and production tooling is built on-site using CNC machining and custom components, including syntactic foam plug assists and heated cutting dies. This eliminates delays, improves precision, and allows for immediate adjustments during development.

  • Prototyping & Sampling: We support early-stage validation with fast-turn prototypes and small-run samples using production-grade tooling and materials—enabling faster design approval and smoother scale-up.

  • Cleanroom & Standard Thermoforming: We offer both ISO Class 8 cleanroom and standard production environments to support a wide range of industries and cleanliness requirements.

  • Material Expertise & Processing: Our thermoforming machines are optimized for PETG, HIPS, HDPE, RPET, ESD-safe polymers, and more—tailored to your part performance, regulatory, and sustainability goals.

  • Forming, Cutting & Stacking Automation: Using high-performance Keifel thermoforming equipment, we ensure consistent forming, accurate trim tolerances, and automated stacking for cleanroom and high-volume production

  • ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 13485 Certification: Supporting traceability, process validation, and regulatory compliance for medical and industrial packaging.

Thermoforming Quality Control


Our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified Quality Management System ensures that each thermoformed product meets quality and performance requirements. These certifications validate our commitment to quality management, traceability, and regulatory compliance for medical device packaging and other high-precision markets.

Key Quality Control Measures:

  • 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 (FAI): 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.
