Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to packaging, and more particularly to a clamshell package and a method of forming such a package. ' 5 G 10 15 ❹ 20 【Prior Art】 Clamshell packaging is a type of packaging commonly used in retail applications. This type of packaging is used in a variety of different types of projects, including many electronic products, electronic components, batteries, cables, ropes, items, and many other items. Typically, when it is desired to provide a convenient way of selling, it will be packaged in a clamshell package that is easy to fit, easy to attach, and attractive in appearance. The second goal of conventional clamshell packaging is to provide product safety. Clamshell packaging is substantially larger than the product itself, making it difficult to steal. For example, when the ballpoint pen is sold in bulk and housed in a rack storage bin, the thief can easily steal it simply by taking the pen out of the pocket. On the other hand, if the ballpoint pen is placed in a clamshell package, theft becomes a more difficult and dangerous act, and the thief relies on opening the package to remove the contents or conceal the larger package. Due to the seller and manufacturer _ sneak results, most of the developments related to shell-and-shell packaging are directed to provide packaging that is very difficult to open and steal. However, some of the hard-to-open clamshell packages cause consumers to try to open the package. There are more & No (four) Newly opened clamshell packaging is often easy to cause injury 'and often occurs when opening this type of packaging 3 200938436 Hand injury (including tendon and nerve damage). It is easy to obtain the products in the package = and it is necessary to provide a kind of packaging, which not only attracts the ingenious and anti-theft (four) great security, but also makes it possible for the consumer to: [Invention] In an embodiment, The clamshell package comprises: (a) a base having a first side; (b) an outer cover having a second periphery; (c) a pivotal base and an outer cover positioned at the first periphery - Part and second = 1 〇 (4) - a hinge at the portion; and the first non-reusable portion of the returnable base wire cover at the sealing position and positioned at the second portion of the first periphery and the second portion of the second periphery Safety element. In another embodiment, a method of packaging a product in a package comprises: (a) providing a pedestal having a first perimeter; (providing an outer cover having an ear having a second perimeter; and (e) The base and the outer cover are fixed by sealing the first portion of the first periphery and the first portion of the second periphery together.
