Clamshell
Packaging refers to a formed plastic package used mainly to encapsulate
and boldly merchandize retail products. It is a folding package that can
be opened and resealed. This is ideal for a product that may need to be
examined before the sale or for a product that may be returned to the
store because the customer purchased the wrong model or style.
Clamshell is a box shaped container that is thermoformed from
transparent plastic with two hinged jaws. The word clamshell hence
indicates that the formed package has one or more hinges. A single
hinged clamshell usually includes a hanger tab that allows the finished
product to hang on a pegboard. A multi-hinged clamshell can offer
additional features such as a freestanding base on the package. By
adding a base to the package it allows the product to stand on its own.
Features
Clamshell packages combine protection with outstanding visibility. The
product is displayed in a blister type function in the front and a clear
back allowing 100% viewing of the product. The packaging is available in
an almost infinite range of size and shape, making them applicable for a
multitude of product types. It offers a cost-effective way to package a
product in small, medium, and large runs.
