Tooling built for thermoformed packaging programs

Dordan develops prototype and production tooling to support package development, validation, and consistent manufacturing. In-house tooling capabilities help reduce handoffs, support design revisions, and keep thermoformed packaging programs aligned from early development through production.

  • Prototype aluminum tooling
  • Form, fit, and function validation support
  • Low-volume production and sampling support
  • Production tooling with required ancillary components
  • Tooling maintenance and revision support
  • Standard and cleanroom tooling programs

Tooling engineered for production performance

Tooling development is coordinated between Dordan’s engineering, tooling, thermoforming, and quality teams. Tool designs are reviewed for manufacturability, dimensional consistency, material performance, and production requirements before moving into forming trials and production launch.

  • Design-for-manufacturability reviews
  • Siemens NX CAD/CAM tooling development
  • CNC-machined prototype and production tooling
  • Engineering change and tooling revision support
  • Qualification and validation support when required
