Clamshell Packaging

So often retailers and manufacturers want to conduct promotional periods or sell promotional items, but are limited in the methods of creatively packaging goods outside of their traditional methods. This is usually where clamshell packaging comes in.
Clamshell packaging is completely customizable – if a manufacturer needs a specific shape, or one molded around an unusual object, clamshell packaging is truly their only option, because it is the only process able to meet such flexible demands.
Consider the numerous “bath sets” sold as complete gifts during the holiday seasons. These frequently include a few luxury bath oils, a lovely scrub brush, and a candle or special soap. Traditionally these sets are packaged in a single clear container that allows for easy viewing, and which holds the items in place. This type of packaging is clamshell packaging.
Now imagine the same bath set in a rectangular cardboard box. Then you could understand why creative clamshell packaging is so valuable for selling products.

Imagine a clam’s shell – it is a hinged object, with two halves that fit perfectly together. The shell itself protects its own contents with its durable materials and intelligent design. This is the concept behind modern clamshell packaging. Meant to protect the contents of a package through strong materials formed into the best design, clamshell packaging is used to hold everything from medications to watches.
Clamshell packaging relies on plastic molded to perfectly fit an item, and usually incorporates a pocket of air to serve as a shock absorber, or insulation against heavy blows or dropping. For example, many “pay as you go” and cellular phones are packaged in simple and easy to “see through” clamshell packaging. This allows them to be transported without damage and yet be completely viewable to consumers.
This durability is the reason both fragile and heavy-duty items find a frequent home in clamshell packaging on many department and grocery store shelves.

Thermoforming is a method used for making plastic packaging. Also called clamshell packaging, thermoforming uses plastic stretched over a mold to create specifically shaped packages. The packages use inserts of paper or cardboard to provide a label that can be read from the outside. The package is sealed once the product is inserted and then it cannot be opened until the consumer takes the product home and cuts the package apart. This type of packaging allows the consumer to see what they are buying before they make the purchase. The parts and instructions are kept safely inside. Retailers like this type of packaging because it is easy to set up on hooks and takes up less space than other types of packages. It also deters shoplifting of the products. It is also easy to safely ship this type of package; the items inside are protected from breakage and moisture.

Thermoformed packaging, also known as clamshell packaging, is a type of plastic packaging used for many products. Everyone is familiar with thermoformed packaging, since it is the most common type of packaging used today. You can find it used for products that have several parts or that are sensitive to damage.

The sealed package assures the customer that the product is brand new and has all its parts intact.

American consumers see a number of different kinds of packaging on the store shelves every time they go shopping, from blister packs and thermoformed packaging to those hard-to-open clamshells and the trusty, regular cardboard box. Each package is made in a different way and serves a slightly different purpose. The type of packaging used depends on the needs of the company who makes the product in question. From thermoformed packaging to cold forming, plastic is the most common type of material used in packaging. This is because it is easy to work with and is cheap, which lowers the cost of the product for the consumer. Cardboard is also still a very popular material used in packaging. However, plastic packaging allows customers to get a good look at the actual product they are buying, while the cardboard box generally only allows room for pictures and descriptions.

As many people know, clamshell packaging can sometimes be rather difficult to open. This type of packaging has one (and sometimes two) layers of thick plastic that is soldered around the edge, providing solid packaging that is nearly impenetrable. While some people may find this frustrating, there is a very good reason for this type of package to be used so often: it allows the company and retailers to show off their products– rather than keeping them hidden away in a box or behind a glass case – and it reduces the chance of theft. This will ultimately keep the cost of items down for consumers. Some companies are beginning to make clamshell packaging that is somewhat easier to open for consumers, yet still difficult for shoplifters to open while in a store. This style of packaging is used on a number of retail items, particularly electronics, such as cables, remote controls, and even toothbrushes.
