Custom Clamshell Packaging | Plastiform Dallas TX

THE BENEFITS OF PLASTIFORM’S CUSTOM CLAMSHELL PACKAGING:

Better Product Presentation

It is no secret that consumers prefer to see the item they’re planning to buy over looking at an image on a box. Clamshell packages solve this problem by showing the product’s looks and dimensions as is, making it easier for consumers to decide!

Custom-fit For Your Product

With clamshell packages, you never have to worry about wasted space as clamshells can be molded according to the design of your product. That means you can lower down shipping costs or ship more products so you can sell more. It’s a win-win!

Hassle-Free Packaging

Other packaging solutions require at least 2 more materials, like adhesives and plastic covers, which adds to the cost. Plastiform uses buttons for easy snap-shut capability—lock it and ship it!

Shipping Damage-Resistant

Clamshells solid, plastic construction gives your product protection from drops, shock, vibration, and shipping mishandling keeping your product intact and your packaging free from dents—what consumers always prefer.

Flexible Product Presentations

Clamshell packaging offers you the best of both worlds: You can have tri-fold hinges or ‘plastic feet’ so your product can stand and you can have keyholes for hanging, you don’t have to worry about your products being off the shelves!

Clean and New Presentation

Compared to other packaging solutions, Clamshells make it easy for your products to always look clean and new. Clamshells are easy to clean, all you need to do is wipe off dirt and dust. With its added security features, it’s hard to damage your product directly, making your products always looking ready to sell!

CERTIFICATIONS & AWARDS

TYPES OF
CLAMSHELL PACKAGING

Clamshells are often presented as an alternative to blister packaging. Unlike traditional blister packaging, they don’t have a backing made of cardboard or another material. Instead, they fold on themselves and have a hinge or seal that serves the same purpose.

In general, they offer a variety of useful features, such as an aesthetically pleasing display and an increase in protection for your products when they are in transit or as they are being stored. This last benefit is accomplished with the close fit that clamshell packaging offers items, since it minimizes the shifting that can occur. That’s why it is always a great option since it ensures that the sizing is perfect and exact.

However, if you’d rather not invest in traditional custom clamshell packaging, don’t worry. We offer other forms as well! These include stock clamshells, tri-folds, and mock clamshells.

STOCK CLAMSHELL

There are several stock clamshells that are available. These are not custom-fitted, but they come in various styles, sizes, and shapes. Like our custom products, our stock clamshells have two halves joined by a hinge that is placed either on the side or bottom.

Investing in stock clamshells is a good idea if you want the benefits of a clamshell but don’t have the time or budget for custom sizes. Since these are not custom-sized, they are more affordable. Furthermore, there is no need to wait for them to be manufactured before shipping them out. Additionally, they can be a great option if you need a smaller number of clamshells since they are the more cost-effective choice in this case.

TRI-FOLD CLAMSHELL

Another option is a tri-fold clamshell, which features a design in three parts. This clamshell will be able to be displayed upright, which provides many potential options for retailers to showcase the enclosed products. This is accomplished with the triangular shape, as the extra fold creates a base on which the tri-fold clamshell can stand on its own. These can also be hung up or displayed in other ways.

Tri-folds can be customized to fit the size of your products, just like traditional clamshells. The primary benefit of choosing tri-fold clamshell packaging is that it will allow for your items to be displayed in more ways. This can actually help boost sales since it will potentially set them apart from competitors and help to draw customers’ eyes.

MOCK CLAMSHELL

Mock clamshells are another variety of available clamshell packaging, though technically, they’re a type of blister packaging and not actual clamshells. These are often in two pieces and don’t have a hinge. Instead, they must be stapled or sealed with heat. However, they are also available in one-piece packaging. For these, a sturdier and thicker blister card is necessary since it takes the place of the backing. One-piece mock clamshells will also need to be heat-sealed or stapled.

Mock clamshells are great because they resemble actual clamshells, so the packaging has an elevated look and appears to be more expensive and of the highest quality. However, in this case, this appearance is accomplished while using less plastic overall, which is better for the wallet and the planet.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I found Plastiform when I was in a bind with another vendor. I had been strung along by my original vendor and needed a new vendor as soon as possible. We received our first order on time and the quality of the parts were exactly the same as the samples we had received. I am so thrilled that we found and worked with Plastiform on this project.

Working with the Plastiform team has been a pleasure. Given the amount of time and work spent on our startup company, it has been refreshing to see them operate with a high level of communication. We were impressed by how our custom product turned out and how quickly we received samples to approve. We will keep this in mind as we make decisions on any future packaging needs. Thank you Plastiform!

To agility save time and money, my team and I agreed to buy an off the shelf plastic mold form. We then would create a custom insert to secure our new wrist watch products. I didn’t realize how dumb this was until Operations Manager, Donna Lee talked me off the ledge of “Packing Gone Wrong”. With her patience, insight and professional guidance we were back on track after our first phone call.

From thumbnail sketch to finished custom packing we couldn’t be happier! Plastiform not only saved us time and money! Donna created a production template for our brand extensions
