Clear PET Clamshells for Salad, Sushi, Fruit & Berries: Sourcing Guide
Anti-fog treatment: Moist fresh food releases condensation that clouds clear PET. An anti-fog inner coating spreads droplets into a transparent film so consumers can see product quality. Essential for berries, salads and warm bakery.
Ventilation holes: Respiring produce (berries, fruit) needs small vents to release moisture and gases and delay mold; sealed airtight accelerates spoilage.
Hinge and snap closure: A live hinge that opens smoothly and a snap lock that closes securely without cracking.
** Nestable taper**: Efficient nesting lowers shipping volume and cost per unit.
Correct size match to product: Oversized punnets waste material and freight; undersized crush the product.
Berries/grapes: vented, anti-fog, shallow punnets with cushioning ribs.
Salads: deeper clamshell with dressing cup option, anti-fog.
Sushi: rigid compartment trays that hold rolls without shifting.
Cut fruit: sealed or semi-sealed anti-fog containers.
Fresh meat: often MAP-compatible trays with a defined seal flange.
Buying non-anti-fog clamshells for moist produce that fogs on the shelf.
No ventilation for respiring berries, shortening shelf life.
Over-size containers inflating freight.
