Clam Shell Packaging
Clam shell packaging is used to protect toys and other gadgets, especially those that need protection in transport. This packaging is not only difficult to open – it is known to cause injuries – it is also environmentally dangerous since it uses a lot of plastic.
Meadwestvaco has a solution to the problems of clam shell packaging. They have come out with an innovation which used 50-60% less plastic and is made from laminated recyclable paperboard. This is reinforced with APET or RPET thermoform which is clear so you can see the product.
Nutralock packaging can be opened with a pair of scissors quite safely. An added feature is that it sounds an alarm if the packaging has been tampered with. Sony, Microsoft and Sandisk are among the big names which are using this packaging.
It also has bonus: using this packaging which is lighter in weight reduces warehousing, transportation and shipping costs. It is easy to seal and reduces the use of manual labor.
