Dordan Manufacturing designs and manufactures high-quality thermoformed consumer packaging to help brands protect and showcase their products on the retail shelf. From plastic clamshells to insert trays and blisters, our solutions are engineered for visibility, security, and cost-efficiency.
With over 62 years of experience, Dordan is a trusted retail packaging supplier offering in-house thermoform design, tooling, thermoforming, and cleanroom manufacturing under ISO-certified quality systems.
Thermoformed retail packaging is a manufacturing process that transforms flat plastic sheets into custom-molded packaging solutions using heat, vacuum, and pressure. This technique produces durable, lightweight, and visually appealing packaging formats such as clamshells, blisters, insert trays, and point-of-purchase (POP) displays, all designed to enhance product visibility and protection on retail shelves
Enhanced Product Visibility: Clear thermoformed plastics allow consumers to view products directly, building trust and aiding purchasing decisions.
Custom Fit & Protection: Tailored molds ensure each product is securely housed, minimizing movement and potential damage during transit and display.
Cost-Effective Production: Thermoforming offers a balance between high-quality presentation and economical manufacturing, especially beneficial for large production runs.
Versatile Display Options: Suitable for various retail display methods, including hanging, shelving, or pegboard arrangements.
Clamshell Packaging: Hinged containers that encase products completely, offering tamper resistance and clear visibility—ideal for electronics, tools, and accessories.
Blister Packs: Formed cavities sealed with backing materials, commonly used for pharmaceuticals, toys, and small consumer goods.
Insert Trays: Custom-fitted trays that organize and protect items within outer packaging, perfect for cosmetics, electronics, and gift sets.
Trapped Blisters: Combining thermoformed blisters with printed paperboard for added security and branding opportunities.
POP Display Trays: Designed for point-of-purchase displays, these trays showcase products effectively while maintaining organization.
