Future of the Global Clamshell Packaging Market 

Though expanding at a moderate CAGR, clamshell packaging could face tough competition from other modern-day and intelligent packaging methods-providing better product tracking, security, and integrity. FMI predicts, in the coming years, many clamshell manufacturers would use of paper or paperboard over plastic due to stringent regulations regarding use of plastic. Moreover, the new H-Loc trapped blister is considered to be a sustainable alternative to clamshell packaging. Products in H-Loc are contained inside a small 'bubble' made of recycled PET material, which further surrounds and traps the bubble with two pieces of recycled corrugated cardboard. H-Loc prevents product tampering and store theft while making the after-purchase opening process easier with reduced wrap rage-which is often the case with clamshell packaging. Customizations on clamshell packaging significantly increases the overall packaging cost.

However, to sustain the market dominance, manufacturer are using PET recycles instead of PET, PVC, PP and other plastic material, to reduce the cost and packaging waste.
