Clamshell (container)

A clamshell is a one-piece container consisting of two halves joined by a hinge area which allows the structure to come together to close. Clamshells can be made to be reusable and reclosable, or can be sealed securely, requiring that they be cut open. They are commonly made of thermoformed plastic.
