Thermoformed Dunnage & Assembly Trays 

Dordan Manufacturing is a dunnage tray designer and manufacturer with over 63 years of custom thermoforming experience. 

Dunnage trays are designed to protect products, improve automation compatibility, and streamline shipping and assembly workflows. They are robust packaging solutions used in industries such as automotive, industrial, medical device manufacturing, and electronics for part staging, protection, and logistics.

Dunnage Tray Benefits

• Custom-Engineered Cavities: Prevent movement, damage, or misalignment during transport or automation.

• Disposable, Reusable, Returnable: Dunnage trays are built for single use, reuse, or return, engineered to withstand different levels of stress in industrial environments.

• Stackable: Designed to stack-and-rotate for product clearance or engineered to nest, dunnage trays facilitate easy stacking and storage. 

• Automated Assembly: Engineered with locators to position the assembly tray in the work cell, dunnage trays integrate with conveyor systems and robotic handling operations
