Dangerous Clamshell Packaging
We all know about the problem.
You buy a nice item, usually an electronic gizmo but sometimes a toy, and you can’t open it.
Knives won’t cut it, and you need sharp heavy duty scissors to cut it open. Yet even then, the cut areas won’t bend easily, and the edges of the plastic packaging are sharp, and cut your fingers if you aren’t careful.
Welcome to the wonderful world of clamshell packaging.
You know what I’m talking about: That heavy PVC clear plastic covering that coats the item, keeping it safe from damage if it is dropped, and just large enough to deter shoplifters.
