Clear Plastic Cartons
Shelf-impact clear plastic folding cartons provide excellent product visibility while offering reliable protection. Allowing your customers to see the product clearly on the shelf, while a range of sizes, styles and finishing options can be tailored to suit your requirements.
Supplied flat & assembled by your team
Clear packaging isn't just practical, it's a sales tool.
Our transparent boxes are designed to present and promote products to their full potential across the cosmetics, giftware, food & drink, confectionery and promotional packaging markets. When shoppers can see exactly what they're buying, they buy with confidence.
Widely used across the retail packaging marketplace, our cartons can be supplied in a variety of forms to suit different products and requirements. Every carton is made to order, so the size, style and finish are shaped around your product, not the other way round.
Plinths & inserts
Secure in transit, perfect on the shelf. Where products need extra support during transportation, plinths and inserts can be built into the packaging, keeping your product upright, centred and looking its best when it arrives.
Matching clear RPET
An insert in the same clear material keeps the whole pack transparent, so nothing distracts from the product.
Printed cardboard
Secure positioning plus an extra surface to promote your product, with your logo, colours or key messages.
Integral insert
Where the design allows, the RPET insert can be made as part of the carton itself: one piece, nothing loose.
- Clear plastic cartons and inserts are supplied flat, ready to be assembled by your packing team. That saves storage space until you need them.
Add a Eurohanger for peg and hook display
If your product will hang in store rather than sit on a shelf, cartons can easily be adapted to include a euro hanger. It keeps your product at eye level on busy retail walls and makes the most of peg and hook display space.
It's worth mentioning at the design stage, so the hanger can be built into the pattern from the start rather than added afterwards.
Cartons for every kind of product
Clear cartons earn their place whatever the market. If your product doesn't fit neatly into any of these, don't worry. We make every carton to order, so the best starting point is simply to tell us what you're packing.
Cosmetics
Let the colour and finish of your product do the selling, while a printed insert holds everything in place.
Giftware
A clear carton shows off a gift before it's opened, and foil blocking or embossing adds a premium feel.
Food and drink, and confectionery.
Cartons can be made for direct and indirect food contact, so your chocolates, bakery or treats can be seen and protected at the same time.
Promotional packaging
A carton that stands out on a display, with a euro hanger if it needs to hang.
Printing and finishing
A sleeve can be left completely plain so the product does all the talking, or printed to carry your branding, product information and artwork. Which print method is best depends on your design and quantities.
For an extra premium touch, we can add foil blocking or embossing. A design that prints only part of the sleeve, leaving a clear window over the product, is a popular way to show off what's inside while still carrying your brand.
For high quality print images we offer:
Silkscreen
Most cost-effective for simple designs and small runs.
Litho
Best results for high quality, complicated designs
Flexo
Suits simple designs in high volumes
Gravure
Suits intricate designs in high volumes
