  • Affordable and Eco-Friendly: Consumers these days are very concerned with reducing their impact on the environment. The recyclability of clamshell packaging is a big selling point.

The 3 Best Labels for Clamshell Packaging

Below are three ideal product label solutions that fresh food retailers can use on their clamshell packaging:

Clear Film Labels – Reduce material and ink cost. 

Clear film labels are transparent. This allows consumers to see the product without a bulky label getting in the way.  The patterns, graphics, and cutouts on clear film labels are easily visible and can be eye-catching on the shelf. They also reduce material and ink costs. If you combine clear film labels with APR-approved adhesives the package can be recycled without removing the label.

Direct Thermal Labels – ideal solution for variable data labels

With direct thermal labels, you can print variable information on-demand. This includes:

  • code dates
  • pricing
  • product weights
  • nutritional information
  • cooking instructions

Direct thermal labels are an ideal solution for short-term applications such as deli meats, bakery, pasta salads, cheeses, and ready-made meals.

All-Temperature Adhesive Labels

If your food products require refrigeration or freezing then you will need all-temperature adhesive labels are a great solution. These are designed to be kept at cold temperatures and resist moisture.  All-temperature adhesives often have high tack, which works well on clamshell containers and other low surface energy surfaces.
