Clamshell containers

What are clamshell containers?

When we talk about clamshell containers, we mean clamshell plastic containers that consist of two halves that are joined together, creating a one-piece clamshell. These can be reused and reclosed. Because of a secure seal, the clamshell container keeps your product safe. Using the thermoforming packaging technique, the clamshell containers are formed in a machine. What the thermoforming machine does, is basically heat a plastic sheet, place this onto a mold with the design you chose, and form with the help of a vacuum and pressurised air. After trimming, your plastic clamshell container is ready to be used.

Why choose plastic clamshell containers?

The fact that the clamshell plastic containers are made out of a single sheet of plastic means there is very little waste. Recycling is also quite easy, since no separation of waste is needed. That alone is reason enough to choose clamshell containers for your product. But what is also very convenient is that the two halves of the plastic clamshell containers are joined together by a hinge area, helping the container come together, so it can properly close and stay closed. Another advantage is that after opening, you cannot lose one of the halves, because they are connected. This ensures that people are always able to reclose it and not risk losing the product inside. They can be used for all kinds of products and can be adjusted to your packaging needs.
