Foam Clamshell
• 9 x 9 Foam Clamshell is considered “Large” in this
series of products
• Foam provides some insulating qualities to keep hot
foods hot and cold foods cold.
• Reworked closing tabs in current designs still pop
open
• Most foam clamshells gap at the sides and leak
• Lack of food visibility increases chance of error
• All companies offer multiple designs in white and
black reflecting different generations, features and
prices
• Although improvements have been made to foam,
these cheap-looking products reduce the value of
the food to the consumer
Competition
Foam Clamshell
• Pactiv offers four versions: conventional white,
Smartlock in white and black, double tab
locks/double laminated (for maximum heat
tolerance & strength) in white and double tab lock
in black.

standard and reduced cube versions in white or
black
