TRICO Technologies (retail packaging)

How JP innovated retail packaging and reduced pack-out costs

TRICO Technologies approached Jamestown Plastics to create a retail clamshell for their windshield wiper product line. They challenged us to eliminate all the traditional methods of keeping a clamshell closed such as plastic welding, snap locks, glue, and overwrap sleeves. Plus, they demanded that the package also be restockable at retail if the consumer returned the product, as product returns were becoming very costly.

Our solution was to create a custom Clamtainer to meet all of these requirements! The TRICO team members now need only to place the wiper blades and a pack of components into the custom Clamtainer and click the package shut, something they can do with her eyes closed! Pack-out time and cost plummeted and the Clamtainers have also made it incredibly easy for retailers to restock returned product!
