Let’s Change the World, Together — A Great Alternative to Plastic Clamshells

PM Packaging’s paperboard system replaces traditional plastic clamshells with a sustainable solution built from recycled papers, a biodegradable plastic film, and a collapsible design that reduces logistics costs. Choose FSC/SFI-certified substrates and soy-based inks to improve recyclability and lower emissions—without sacrificing clarity, protection, or shelf appeal.

• Recycled papers: CCNB, CCWB, CCKB, Hi Brite, Bending Chip.
• Biodegradable plastic film: excellent clarity & scratch resistance; high breathability so moisture and gases pass through; reduces degradation from ~350 years to ~2 years.
• Collapsible design: ship more in each case to cut freight—approximately 608 paperboard boxes vs 200 plastic clamshells per corrugated shipper (based on a 5×5×1.614 in clamshell; packed in a 19×12×19 in box).
• Certified papers: select virgin materials certified by FSC or SFI to support responsible fiber sourcing.
• Soy-based inks: more accurate color, easier paper recycling, and reduced air pollution through lower toxic emissions.
