Clamshell Labeling Machine

Clamshell labeling machines are installed by the industries for labeling the clamshell containers. Clamshell containers are created by joining two half containers by a hinged joint and these containers are enclosable and reusable. Clamshell containers are made from plastic, paper, or thermoformed material. Clamshell containers used for food packaging are mostly transparent and these containers are labeled from the outside.
