We also design a wide variety of other clear plastic packaging options, such as clear plastic tubes, pillow boxes, and innovations like the Klearfold® Keeper and InSight® clear packaging systems, and the Klearfold Keeper CR.
Our skilled structural design teams understand how to collaborate closely with customers to develop clear plastic packaging that is creative, functional, and capable of unlocking a brand’s potential.

And for hand-fill applications, Klearfold auto-bottom style clear plastic boxes set up quickly and easily. Time and motion studies have revealed a significant labor cost savings (up to 30%) over standard tuck cartons.
Our Soft Creased Klearfold plastic boxes are the most recommended by automated filling line equipment manufacturers. The precision and uniformity of Soft Creases ensure that Klearfold cartons run efficiently on even the highest speed cartoner equipment.
This results in more uniform creases, with less folding resistance, ensuring that Klearfold clear cartons fold precisely, have clean lines, and maintain their crisp shape.
HLP Klearfold is the world leader in radio frequency (RF) creasing. While other methods produce stiff or fragile scores and sharp edges, our proprietary Soft Crease® scoring technology uses RF energy to cause a controlled displacement of material from the score lines.
Having our own custom extruders and meticulously sourcing our own postconsumer PET waste (water and soda bottle flake) allows us to produce box-grade RPET (postconsumer PET) of unmatched quality, with 30%, or even 100% PCR, with no meaningful loss in quality or performance.
Other manufacturers purchase carton substrates from commercial extruders that predominantly make less demanding plastic grades primarily used for thermoforming applications.
To produce the world’s highest quality printed plastic packaging, we first manufacture the finest box-grade plastics available on our own custom extruders.
Our extruders produce box-grade plastics exclusively, yielding premium-quality substrates that are extremely uniform, crystal clear, and defect free. We are aware of no other plastic carton producer that has invested in such a vertical integration program.
No fossil fuel-derived raw materials are used to #manufacturer the RPET100 substrate, it consumes far less energy to make than virgin PET, and our increased consumption of PCR waste helps to drive the growing PET recycling infrastructure.
The printed graphic design determines how much of the carton is opaque and how much is transparent, allowing brand owners to reveal as much of their package’s contents as desired or allowed. 100% ink coverage results in a completely opaque Klearfold Keeper CR package.
Patented Klearfold Keeper CR cartons are available in two standard sizes and the internal vacuum-formed trays are fully customizable. The clear cartons can be made from durable box-grade PET, or our RPET100 substrate, which contains 100% postconsumer recycled content PET.
Our proprietary Soft Crease® scoring technology produces APET and RPET plastic boxes with uniform creases that fold precisely with less folding resistance, ensuring that Klearfold® plastic boxes perform efficiently on automated filling equipment or in hand-filling applications.
No other clear packaging manufacturer has our experience or global scale. And no company is more committed to technology investments and process innovation to better serve its customers.
Clear vac-trays within clear cartons position the package contents securely, and create exciting aesthetics and the illusion of contents floating within the package.
HLP Klearfold manufactures stand-alone thermoformed packaging, like blisters and clamshells, as well as the vacuum-formed trays that are often used as inserts in Klearfold clear plastic packaging.
