Clamshell Packaging
Clamshells and clamshell packaging are extremely popular forms of packaging for retail use. Structured like the marine mollusk clam, this packaging type is hinged with two jaws that open to access product. Clamshell packaging is typically made from either PVC or RPET. Clamshell packaging has the capability of being sealed with traditional methods, such as snap closure, or more technical procedures such as heat or ultrasonic sealing.
Aftermarket automotive, cellular, cosmetic, electronics, food, and hardware industries are some of the industries that often utilize clamshell packaging. If desired, identification labels can be adhered to the top, sides, and bottom of the package's structure or informative inserts can be placed within the clamshell package.
