Popular in food and retail, they look clean, are durable and lightweight, and perfectly showcase the product inside. Whether you’re packing bakery, fresh produce, or small retail items, these containers are an excellent choice for protecting your goods while making them look attractive and tempting.

Clear Clamshell Container Features
High Transparency and Visibility
Clear clamshell containers are made from high-quality PET material, offering a “crystal-clear” view that showcases fresh ingredients and enhances shelf appeal.
Convenience and Stackability
Clear clamshell containers safeguard products from crushing, handling damage, and contamination. These containers are easy to use, carry, and often resealable. Their stackable design also helps save space.
Tamper-Evidence and Food Safety
Some clear clamshell containers feature secure snap locks, perimeter seals, or tamper-resistant elements that provide added reassurance. For food businesses, this is essential because being “safe and sealed” is not just an option but a fundamental requirement.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable
Clear clamshell containers are made from #1 PET plastic, one of the most widely recycled plastics. You can recycle these containers through local programmes.
Customizable
Clear clamshell containers can be customized to showcase your brand, company, or event. They come in various sizes, including round, square, and rectangular, and are available in clamshell, hinged, or separate-lid/base styles.
