Clamshell Labels

Clamshell labels made for fresh produce packaging.

WD Labels produces custom roll labels for produce clamshells and related fresh-product packaging. Label size, placement and construction should be considered around the plastic container, handling, application method and any cold or moisture exposure.

Custom label applied to produce packaging
Common applications

Produce labels planned around the container and packing workflow.

Clamshell labels can carry product identity, brand and changing information across a range of fresh-produce packages. The right format begins with the package and how it moves through packing and retail.

01

Berry clamshells

Roll labels for berry packaging, planned around the available panel and application method.

02

Cherries, grapes & tomatoes

Produce identification for clamshells and related retail packs used across varied crops and varieties.

03

Fresh-cut produce

Labels for prepared and packaged produce where information, presentation and handling all matter.

04

Specialty produce

Product-specific labels for growers, packers and produce businesses with distinct package formats.

05

Packing-house identification

Labels that support farm, packer, variety, barcode or other changing product information.

Material choice

Choose the construction around the clamshell and environment.

Plastic surface, label size and placement, handling, cold conditions, moisture exposure, appearance and application method all help determine a suitable direction.

Read the material guide
BOPP & film
A practical direction when moisture resistance, durability or a film appearance matters.
Paper
An option for appropriate applications where a paper appearance and use environment align.
Finish
Gloss, matte, varnished and laminated options can support the intended presentation and handling.
Placement
Label dimensions and position should fit the clamshell panel without interfering with package use.
Produce identification & variable data

Brand, identify and carry changing produce information.

A clamshell label may combine fixed artwork with PLU information, codes, grower or packer details, lot information and other changing data. Share those needs before artwork is finalized.

Artwork & proofing

A clear checkpoint before production.

Artwork is reviewed with the finished label and production requirements in mind. The proof then provides a clear approval point before manufacturing begins.

  1. SupplyProvide the current artwork, intended label dimensions and package information.
  2. ReviewWe review the file alongside the clamshell, data and production requirements.
  3. ProofA proof provides the checkpoint for layout, content and representative variable information.
  4. ApproveProduction begins after the proof and specifications are approved.

Production

Typical production: 3 business days after proof approval.

This describes normal production timing after the proof and specifications are approved, not the complete project timeline. Artwork preparation, review and approval happen before production begins.

What we need to quote

Package details help define the right starting point.

Provide what you already know about the clamshell and packing workflow. If material or finish is undecided, describe the environment and application method.
