What is Clamshell Packaging?
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.
