In today’s retail market, the consumer desires to see the product prior to purchasing. To do so, we create thermoformed plastic containment. This comes in the form of clamshells, trays and plastic inserts. Clamshells are a common form of retail packaging, which when accompanied by folding carton art cards, creating an excellent display of the product to the consumer. Many are heat sealed along the edges to counteract pilferage and some are simply snap sealed. This allows the consumer to open the clamshell for purposes of touching the product and feeling the materials; ensuring it is the proper choice for purchase.
