PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 1 lb. vented clamshells ideal for packing berries and other delicate produce?
Yes, these crystal-clear clamshells are specifically designed for strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and other delicate produce. The 1-lb. capacity, built-in ventilation slots, and secure snap-lock lid help prevent moisture buildup, extend shelf life, and keep your fruit looking fresh from field to retail display.
Are the clamshells safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. Each container is manufactured from food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that meets FDA regulations for direct food contact. They are BPA-free, odorless, and resistant to leaching, making them perfectly suited for farm, packinghouse, or grocery applications.
What temperature range can these PET clamshells handle?
These containers perform best between ‑20 °F (-29 °C) and 120 °F (49 °C). They can be stored in standard refrigerators and blast chillers without cracking, but they are not recommended for hot-fill operations or prolonged exposure to temperatures above 120 °F.
Can I freeze produce directly in these clamshells?
Yes, the PET construction maintains its integrity in typical freezer environments down to about ‑20 °F (-29 °C). However, as with most rigid PET packaging, slight brittleness may occur at very low temperatures, so handle with care when frozen.
Are these containers suitable for hot foods or microwave use?
No. PET clamshells are intended for cold or ambient products only. They should not be used for hot fill above 120 °F, oven reheating, or microwave cooking, as elevated temperatures can cause the plastic to deform or release unwanted compounds.
How many clamshells come in a case?
Each master case contains 420 individual 1-lb. clamshells, conveniently packed for high-volume growers, packers, and foodservice operations.
How clear is the plastic for product visibility?
The PET material offers excellent glass-like clarity, allowing shoppers to easily inspect color, ripeness, and overall quality without opening the package, which helps drive impulse sales and reduces shrinkage.
Are these clamshells recyclable or eco-friendly?
Yes. They are made from #1 PET, one of the most widely accepted plastics in curbside recycling programs across North America. After use, simply rinse and place them in your PET recycling stream to support circular-economy initiatives.
