These
box-shaped containers are thermoformed from transparent plastic
and feature a hinged lid with a positive snap closure. They
are re-sealable and reusable and are designed to be hung on
a pegboard display or placed freestanding on a counter (the
ability of a clamshell to stand up depends on the weight distribution
of the product it contains relative to its height and depth).
Our Clamshells also have incorporated
the plastic industries identification symbol into the clamshells
to aid post consumer recycling, as it becomes available for
this type of product.
The program consists initially of over 45 popular sizes, in
stock for quick shipment. A special feature of the program
is the availability of corresponding stock die insert cards
that can be custom printed by HS & Associates to meet
the packager's requirements.
·For insert cards:
Camera ready artwork and/or films.
Numbers
of colors including Pantone Matching System (PMS) numbers
with "C" suffix.
Universal
Product Code (UPC) number or film negative, if needed. A test
scan is recommended to make sure the bar code can be properly
read through the plastic.
·It is always recommended that a secondary sealing method, such as radio
frequency, ultrasonic or heat sealing, pressure sensitive
labels or staples are used to secure clamshells.
