Your bottle packaging should protect, present, and reinforce your values. Wet‑pressed molded fiber excels on all three. Under heat and pressure, fibers fuse into dense, dimensionally stable parts with consistent wall thickness and soft radii that won’t scuff labels or abrade glass. Share CAD files or sample bottles and our engineers will tune the well diameter, shoulder relief, and base interface for a snug, rattle‑free fit. The hinged design keeps the pair together for faster line loading; we can add finger‑pulls, tie slots, or label flats to streamline retail prep. Prefer an even stronger lock? Request friction tabs or strap‑ready openings that secure the clamshell closed inside your carton.
Operational wins follow quickly. Pulp clamshells nest tightly to maximize pallet density, weigh less than plastic to reduce transport emissions, and arrive with repeatable tolerances that speed packing lines. Branding is integrated—emboss or deboss your logo directly into the lid for an elegant, ink‑free mark—and the natural brown finish looks refined on its own or under a paper sleeve. After unboxing, consumers can recycle the insert where molded fiber is accepted or compost it in suitable facilities, delivering an authentic sustainability story from warehouse to wine rack.

FAQs:
Q1: Will this clamshell fit my specific bottle shapes?
A: Yes. We custom‑tool the wells to your base diameter, shoulder profile, and height for a precise, rattle‑free fit.

Q2: Is the clamshell recyclable and compostable?
A: It’s plastic‑free molded fiber—recyclable in many paper streams and compostable where facilities exist. Check local guidelines.

Q3: How does the lid stay closed?
A: Standard is a friction‑fit clamshell. We can add strap/carry slots, tabs, or recommend a sleeve/band for retail security.

Q4: Can I add branding or choose a different color?
A: Absolutely—embossed/debossed logos and color tints are available to match your label or seasonal program.

Q5: What are the MOQ and typical lead time?
A: MOQ is 5,000 units. Sampling usually takes 7–10 days after design approval; production typically 15–30 business days.
