Don't you love a packaging that gives your customers a magical unboxing experience and shows off your products? Clamshell packaging has the potential to serve this purpose. They not only protect your products like armor but also impress the viewers with their see-through appearance.

You can also keep electronics, toys, cosmetics, and personal care products. We at MyBoxPrinting offer you custom clamshell boxes for all businesses.

Also, we are providing you with custom clamshell packaging in different shapes and sizes. We offer you this packaging in eco-friendly materials like corrugated cardboard, bagesse, and molded pulp.

What is Clamshell Packaging?

Clamshell Packaging consists of two plastic parts that are hinged together to secure a product. The packaging is named so because of its appearance, like a clamshell. You can protect and ship fragile, lightweight, and small items during shipping. 

It is usually made of plastic, but you can also have it in molded pulp, bagasse, and corrugated cardboard.

Advantages of Clamshell Boxes

The clamshell boxes serve many benefits, more than just product protection and storage. Here are some advantages that will make you store and present your products in these boxes:

 Shield For Products

When you deliver or ship a product, your main concern is that it reaches the destination in perfect condition. These boxes protect your products from dust, damage, and hands during shipping.

Space Saving

These boxes have two parts that perfectly fit together, just like two puzzle pieces. They save space on the retail shelves. They look organized and neat on the retail shelves.

Resealable

These cardboard boxes are resealable, which means you can reseal them after opening. But it will not be sealed like it was previously sealed.

Transparent Display

The see-through display makes things visible and makes it easier to market your products. It enhances the overall presentation of your products and captures the customer’s attention.

Tamper-Evident Design

The tamper-evident design ensures enhanced protection of your products. It indicates if the box was opened earlier before delivering the packed product.

Enhanced Shelf Life

These boxes extend the shelf life of your perishable products (products that need to be fresh). So this packaging can be used for storing these products to keep them fresh in retail settings and environments.

Due to these benefits, businesses adopt clamshell boxes for presenting their products. You can estimate its growth from the following facts:

In 2022, the market value of Clamshell boxes was observed at $9.3 billion. But now in 2028, it is expected to grow to $12.6 billion.

Material Options

As a packaging expert, we clearly understand that materials matter a lot for product packaging. A good material convinces consumers to purchase your product, while a bad material can leave a bad impression. For clamshell box packaging, plastic is the most commonly used material because transparency is the main element. But we also offer you eco-friendly material choices.

Plastics

Plastic is a more prevalent type of packaging material for clamshell packaging. It is used in different forms such as PET, biodegradable PLA, and PVC.

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

PET is a strong and lightweight type of plastic. It is mostly used for clamshell packaging due to its clear appearance. It is a transparent material that is a key component in this type of packaging. By thermoforming, it is molded into different shapes.

Polylactic Acid (PLA)

Polylactic acid is a biodegradable type of plastic that is made from renewable resources (cornstarch or sugarcane). If you want a biodegradable alternative to traditional packaging, PLA plastic packaging is the best option. Moreover, it is a sustainable option and can be composted in industrial conditions.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Polyvinyl chloride is one of the widely used plastics for clamshell containers. It offers a clear and transparent view to see the product inside the clamshell. It can be sealed with heat sealing to secure your product.

Plastic is still a reusable and recyclable material, but it is less recommended. On recycling, it may release toxins harmful to the environment.

Styrofoam

Styrofoam is a lightweight and insulating plastic foam. It is made by expanding the polystyrene beads with heat. It is used for packaging, but it is not recommended due to environmental concerns like increased land waste.

Molded Pulp/ Molded Fibre

Molded pulp or fibre is made from combining recycled paper, cardboard, and natural fibres (bagasse, bamboo, or wheat straw). It is then molded into different shapes through the use of molds. It is an eco-friendly choice for your clamshell boxes.

Bagasse

Bagasse is a plant-based material formed as a result of crushing the fibre residues of sugarcane. It is a fibrous material that is a sustainable and biodegradable choice for clamshell packaging. This compostable packaging will not cause harm to the environment.

Corrugated Cardboard

Corrugated cardboard is a three-layered material formed by fluting an inner layer between two cardboard layers. It is considered one of the most sustainable and durable options for paperboard packaging.

Endless Customization Options

Every product is unique, just like every person is unique and has different specifications. Customization can make the packaging more visually appealing. We at MyBoxPrinting offer you limitless customization options:

Endless Finish Options

A perfect finish has the potential to make your packaging stand out. It can upgrade its overall look and make it more visually appealing.
