PET Clamshell Packaging for Fruits & Snacks | Secure, Transparent Design

PET clamshells are hinged, two-piece packaging units made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate), a strong, transparent plastic, designed to enclose, protect, and display products. The clamshell structure consists of a base that holds the product and a lid connected by a hinge, allowing the unit to open and close easily, with a secure closure—often snaps or friction fits—to keep the contents safely enclosed. The transparency of PET provides clear visibility of the product inside, making these clamshells ideal for items where visual appeal is key, such as fresh fruits, baked goods, jewelry, or small electronics. When used for food, PET clamshells are made from food-grade, BPA-free PET, ensuring safety for direct contact with edibles and compliance with food safety regulations. They come in various sizes and shapes, customizable to fit specific products, from small clamshells for berries or candies to larger ones for sandwiches or gadgets. Many include features like ventilation holes (for perishables) to promote air circulation and maintain freshness. PET clamshells are lightweight, stackable, and recyclable in many regions, aligning with practical and sustainability goals. Widely used in retail, food service, and manufacturing, PET clamshells offer a versatile, protective, and visually striking packaging solution.
