Plastic clamshells are an ideal packaging choice for many retail and specialty food products, as well as medical kits and products. If you’re in the market for packaging, the option to buy clamshell packaging is a solid choice for many reasons.
1. Versatility In Design
With thermoform plastics, we can create virtually any size or shape of packaging you might need, and this includes complicated designs that protect every inch or your product.
Not only is design versatility a huge factor, clear plastics allow consumers to see your product and that’s huge. In fact, there have been several studies that have shown that when consumers actually can see a product, they are far more likely to purchase that item over another item that cannot be seen.
Consumers make many of their choices based upon the appearance of the product and package. Combine an attractive product with attractive, eye-catching package design and you can entice customers and set yourself apart from the competition.
2. Plastic Keeps Costs Down
In general, plastics are some of the most affordable packaging materials available. Additionally, the light weight of plastic and our ability to design smaller packages allows you to transport more units in a single shipment, and this reduces your overall shipping and transportation costs.
Of course, plastic also is highly impact resistant which reduces the potential for product damage and sealed clamshell packaging lessens the risk of tampering and theft, all of which make a positive impact on your budget.
3. Protection & Theft-Prevention
While blister packaging can be an excellent option for many products, if you want an ultimate level of protection from tampering and moisture, a sealed clamshell is your best option.
Additionally, with specialty food packaging, there’s also the option to provide you with modified atmosphere packaging. With this type of packaging, you can preserve foods for longer than ever before, reducing food waste and helping you expand your market.
