Thermoform Design & Manufacturing

Our in-house services include:

• Thermoform Packaging Design: Dordan utilizes Siemens NX for engineering its packaging solutions. Taking a risk-based approach to design while employing design for manufacturing principles, Dordan develops packaging designs optimized for thermoforming, resulting in the manufacture of high quality thermoformed parts.

• Thermoform Tooling: NX CAD/CAM CNC integration reduces translation errors as the same team of packaging engineers who developed the thermoform packaging concept program the CNC tool paths. All tooling is machined out of a single block of aluminum and once the prototypes are approved, the cavities are machined via step and repeat over the dimensions of the production tool, ensuring each cavity is identical to the others. 

• Plastic Thermoforming: Dordan has 14 thin gauge, plastics thermoforming machines capable of converting over 100MM lbs of material annually. Dordan's thermoformers are equipped with heated cutting dies and robotics for stripping and stacking. 

• ISO Class 8 Cleanroom: Dordan's ISO Class 8 cleanroom works to monitor, manage, and mitigate the presence of particulate and bioburden agents in the manufacturing environment. A fully enclosed and complete hardwall space, Dordan's cleanroom is ideal for medical devices that require its packaging to be produced in a controlled environment. 

• Quality Control: Dordan is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified for the design, manufacture, and distribution of custom thermoformed packaging. Our robust quality management system ensures the on-time delivery of defect free products.
