This 8-inch clear hinged bakery clamshell is designed for a whole small pizza, flatbread or similar round baked item. The 230 × 227 mm exterior surrounds an approximately 200 × 200 mm interior reference, while the 56 mm closed height provides space above the crust and toppings.
A circular ribbed cavity supports a centered presentation inside the outer handling frame. Clear PET/rPET provides full product visibility, the attached hinge simplifies packing, and the formed perimeter closure helps the container remain closed during normal refrigerated or ambient retail handling after product-specific trials.

QUNLU introduces the 1.5L Clear PET Hinged Berry Clamshell with Top-Vented Lid (GHW-800), a practical, well-engineered packaging option built for modern produce distribution and sustainable fruit packaging goals. Combining precise thermoforming techniques with clear food-grade resin, this PET hinged berry clamshell brings dependable strength and excellent clarity to fruit displays.
Product Overview and Key Features
Molded from high-clarity PET resin, the 1.5L capacity container highlights the natural color and freshness of the fruit inside. The built-in hinged closure snaps together easily, making packing faster for crew members and opening simpler for shoppers while keeping fruit secure during transport. The top-vented berry container design strikes the right balance between airflow and protection, letting trapped heat escape and moisture buildup without leaving fruit exposed to rough handling.
Food Safety and Quality Assurance
Manufactured by QUNLU using precision German and Japanese thermoforming equipment, this container meets strict global food contact guidelines. Backed by FDA, BRC, and ISO quality management certifications, every PET hinged berry clamshell is produced under controlled, sanitary shop conditions. This manufacturing approach aligns directly with current food-safe clamshell trends, focusing on clean material handling and odor-free storage, food-safe plastics that keep produce clean from farm to table.
Innovative Top-Vented Lid Design
The defining feature of the GHW-800 is its ventilated lid system. By placing slim openings along the top face, the top-vented berry container allows air to circulate naturally through the pack. This steady passive ventilation prevents condensation drops from forming under the lid, keeping berries dry and preventing surface rot during transit and display. The vents are sized carefully—large enough to let the fruit breathe naturally, yet tight enough to block dust and dirt
Versatility for Multiple Fruit Types
Whether it is packed with table grapes or fragile mixed berries, this PET hinged berry clamshell adapts easily to different harvests. The 1.5L volume matches standard retail family portion sizes, while the crystal-clear plastic gives produce maximum shelf presence in supermarket aisles. Compared to over-packed bags or rigid boxes, the rigid walls of this top-vented berry container protect delicate skins from crushing and bruising
Retail Display and Branding Opportunities
High-transparency PET puts the fresh produce front and center on display shelves. Smooth outer faces and a flat lid make it easy to apply price stickers, barcode labels, or custom branding bands. For growers looking to stand out in the produce aisle, QUNLU offers custom printing and embossing on the container body. Through flexible OEM/ODM options, the underlying PET hinged berry clamshell can be adapted with distinct vent configurations or custom outer dimensions to fit specific retailer display cases.
Logistics and Supply Chain Benefits
Sturdy construction makes a big difference when loading crates and pallets. The lightweight design cuts down on shipping weight, while the rigid structure protects delicate contents when stacked. The integrated hinge eliminates the hassle of matching separate lids to bases on busy packing lines. By helping fresh berries stay firm and mold-free longer, this top-vented berry container helps lower return rates and spoilage losses for wholesale shippers and grocery chains alike.
Technical Advantages and Manufacturing Excellence
QUNLU’s advanced thermoforming lines deliver clean cuts, smooth hinges, and consistent wall thickness batch after batch. Precision tooling ensures that lid snaps engage firmly every time and vents remain clean and unobstructed. In-line quality checks verify clarity and impact resistance before containers leave the factory, ensuring that every PET hinged berry clamshell aligns with current food-safe clamshell trends

The circular cavity is sized around an 8-inch pizza reference and surrounded by a wider handling frame. Radial forms in the base and ribbed sidewalls increase stiffness, while the raised lid creates clearance above typical crust and topping profiles.
The integrated hinge keeps the lid registered with the base, and the formed rim engagement supports fast manual closing. Fit, closure retention and stacking should be validated with actual pizza diameter, thickness, temperature, topping load, labels and case pattern.
Production is managed in a Class 100,000 clean-room environment using KIEFEL and ASANO thermoforming equipment. Options include rPET content review, custom tint, label-area planning, embossed identification subject to tooling and export-carton configuration.

Q1: Does the container fit an 8-inch whole pizza?
It is designed around an approximately 200 × 200 mm interior reference. Confirm the finished pizza diameter, crust profile, topping height and cutting method with a sample.
Q2: Is this a hinged or two-piece package?
It is a one-piece hinged clamshell. The lid remains attached to the base, reducing component handling and keeping the closure aligned during packing.
Q3: Is rPET available?
Yes. Specify the target recycled-content percentage, clarity requirement and destination market so availability, forming performance and supporting documentation can be reviewed before sampling.
Q4: Can we add a logo or retail label?
Label-area planning and embossed identification can be evaluated. Provide artwork dimensions, placement, barcode needs and application method so visibility and closure areas remain unobstructed.
Q5: Is the clamshell suitable for hot pizza?
PET/rPET temperature performance must be validated. Cool the pizza to the approved packing temperature and test deformation, condensation, closure retention and food quality before commercial use.
Q6: What are the sampling and mass-production lead times?
Standard sampling is 3–7 business days. Mass production is typically 15–20 business days after sample, material, artwork and purchase-order approval.
Q7: What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide quantity, annual demand, finished pizza diameter and height, packing temperature, PET or rPET target, label plan, destination port and preferred carton configuration.
