Blister and clamshell packaging products are classified according to their appearance characteristics. The categories are: boxes, trays, clamshells, and covers. Different appearance characteristics suit different uses — choosing the right thermoform packaging form can enhance the perceived quality and value of the product.
Blister Box (吸塑包装盒)
These products feature a flat recessed surface, mostly rectangular or square overall, with hollow center sections and raised edges. Primarily used for digital products and accessories. Blister boxes mostly serve as inner packaging, with outer packaging in thick film or carton form, mainly for protection and presentation.
Blister Tray (吸塑包装托盘)
Trays are also flat-recess products, but unlike blister boxes, trays serve as outer packaging. Their function is to hold and protect products during transport, and they can be stacked. Widely used for electronic components, food, fruits, and other products.
Clamshell Packaging (吸塑泡壳包装)
Clamshells are among the most visually distinctive thermoform packaging products — the product protrudes outward, creating a three-dimensional effect. The thermoform mold follows the product's contour. Mainly used for stationery, jewelry, toys, and similar products, often in hanging retail display form. Clamshells showcase the product's unique characteristics to great effect.
Vacuum Cover (吸塑包装罩)
Vacuum covers are mostly used in sets with a top-and-bottom lid design. Commonly used for toys, cosmetics, electronics, and more. They provide excellent protection during transport while enhancing the perceived quality of the product. Made mostly from transparent material, the product is placed inside and a top cover is added, making the product protrude prominently in the center. The packaging can be rotated 360° for viewing.
Every product can be paired with different packaging — choosing well-suited thermoform packaging adds distinctive value to your product.
