Dordan Manufacturing specializes in the design and production of thermoformed trays for a wide range of industries, including medical, industrial, automotive, electronics, and consumer. As a fourth-generation, family-owned thermoforming company with over 63 years of experience, Dordan offers end-to-end tray development — from thermoform tray design and tooling to in-house manufacturing and cleanroom thermoforming.
Thermoformed Tray Packaging Solutions
Our custom plastic trays are engineered to protect your products during storage, shipping, handling, assembly, and retail display. We offer:
Thermoformed Dunnage & Assembly Trays: Designed for manual or robotic handling, our dunnage trays are optimized for shipping efficiency and assembly line integration. These trays reduce damage during transit and increase throughput in automated processes. Component handling trays offer precision-fit cavities and locating features that interface with automated equipment.
Thermoformed Medical Trays & Kits: Our medical device and surgical trays ensure the safety and efficacy of medical products.
Plastic Insert Trays for Retail: Custom plastic inserts enhance product presentation and security inside retail packaging.
Complete In-House Design, Tooling & Manufacturing
Dordan offers a fully integrated approach to thermoformed tray production—combining in-house design, tooling, thermoforming, and cleanroom manufacturing under one roof.
-
Custom Tray Design: Using Siemens NX CAD our engineers develop high-performance thermoform tray designs optimized for usability, automation compatibility, and cost-efficiency.
-
Prototype & Production Tooling: NX CAM software is used to program the CNC tool paths for both prototype and production tooling, ensuring accurate translation from digital model to physical form.
-
Tooling Fabrication & Component Assembly: All tooling is CNC-machined in house, including form tools, trim dies, plug assists, and support components—enabling precision tooling and strict quality control.
-
Plastics Thermoforming: We have 14 thermoforming lines with 2 dedicated lines in the cleanroom.
-
ISO Class 8 Cleanroom Manufacturing: For applications requiring particulate-controlled packaging, Dordan offers cleanroom thermoforming certified to ISO Class 8 standards.
Cleanroom Manufacturing for Thermoformed Trays
Our ISO Class 8 cleanroom is designed to meet the cleanliness standards required for medical device packaging.
Key Features of Our Cleanroom Facility:
-
Advanced Thermoforming Equipment: Equipped with Keifel Speedformers, our cleanroom facilitates automated forming, cutting, stripping, and stacking processes, ensuring the production of defect-free products.
-
Environmental Control: The cleanroom maintains strict particulate and bioburden control, with continuous monitoring to comply with ISO Class 8 standards.
-
Material Handling Protocols: Dedicated gowning and material staging areas with controlled air pressure zones prevent cross-contamination during the manufacturing process.
-
Sterilization Procedures: We employ terminal cleaning protocols and use FDA-certified cleaning agents to maintain a contaminant-free environment.
