11. Competition Foam Clamshell
9 x 9 Foam Clamshell is considered “Large” in this series of products
Foam provides some insulating qualities to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.

Most foam clamshells gap at the sides and leak
Lack of food visibility increases chance of error
All companies offer multiple designs in white and black reflecting different generations, features and prices
Although improvements have been made to foam, these cheap-looking products reduce the value of the food to the consumer

12. Competition Foam Clamshell
Pactiv offers four versions: conventional white, Smartlock in white and black, double tab locks/double laminated (for maximum heat tolerance & strength) in white and double tab lock in black.
