Tamper-evident openings give easy access to clamshell

摘要

Tear tape has enabled a New York-based packaging firm to create a tamper-evident yet easy-to-open clamshell food pack for lettuce and bakery products. While clamshell packaging has long been used for its appearance, the format has faced criticism that end-users find it hard to open. Now Precision Packaging Products has developed arnno-Knite opening solution using printed tapes from Payne.This has an additional perforated lip that can be pulled open, enabling the clamshell closure to be released. As printing on clamshells is limited, Payne's tapes are applied to the package between the thermoform and the cutting station and indicate where the perforations are.
