Flexible, Stylish, Affordable
Plastech’s clear carton range offers a competitive and versatile display & gift packaging solution for everything from food and cosmetics to stationery and gifts.
Our clear cartons are the ideal packaging option if you want a more cost-effective solution because there are no tooling charges and they are shipped flat.
From Cosmetics to Confectionary
Our versatile plastic carton box range caters for a number of industries, including:
- Food and Drink
- Giftware and Household
- Confectionery and Chocolate
- Cosmetics and Toiletries
- Stationery
For cosmetics and other items with unique shapes, we form the clear plastic carton to a shape that matches and ensure the printing does not cover important parts of the product.
Designed for Convenience & Protection
While orders are supplied flat, they can be made to seal with glue or with tabs. Simply fold and tuck to create your chosen container shape. These can open to the short edge, long edge, or just one edge.
As with the rest of our packaging offerings, our cartons are easy to assemble and hard to damage - regardless of whether the carton holds food or beauty items.
Cost-Effective & Attractive
Our transparent folding cartons and plastic box sleeves combine convenience and durability with the ability to print and decorate. The result is a lightweight, attractive, and cost-effective display carton.
We also specialise in bulk orders, further adding to the affordability of our cartons and clear packaging.
Bright and Branded
Not only do we offer sleeves in clear, translucent packaging material, but also do a range of colours. Available materials for your clear packaging sleeves include PP, rPET and APET.
These can be complemented by a number of print finishes to produce vibrant designs and strong branding that gives your products an aesthetic edge.
Eco-Friendly Options
As an environmentally conscious plastic option for clear packaging cartons, rPET is one of our most popular plastics.
The majority of food cartons have been made from cardboard in the past, but our cartons make food packaging reusable and, therefore, more environmentally friendly than before.
Safe Carton Packaging for Food
We can make cartons that are safe to use for food.
Presentation is important when it comes to food, which is why having food packaging that is designed to be safe and aesthetically pleasing is essential.
Our cartons are designed to keep the contents safe, whether it's cupcakes, electronics, or medication.
Only Premium Clear Packaging Materials
PET, PVC, and PP are some of the most widely used plastics for box sleeves and carton packaging because they are versatile, durable, and ultimately, reliable.
We only manufacture packaging using the best plastic materials.
rPET
Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET) plastic is manufactured from recycled plastic packaging that would otherwise have gone to a landfill or been incinerated.
rPET is lightweight, strong, and durable, which makes for versatile see-through cartons.
aPET
APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a strong, lightweight plastic with high clarity that is widely used for packaging food and beverages.
aPET plastic is flexible and suitable for Thermoforming, Silk Screen Printing, and Blister Packaging.
PVC
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a rigid polymer plastic that can withstand harsh impact and extreme temperatures. PVC is flexible, lightweight, cost-effective, tough, and safe.
PVC also offers exceptional clarity, ink adhesion, and chemical resistance.
PP
PP (Polypropylene) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastics.
PP packaging does not react to acids and other chemical residues and is waterproof and resistant to moisture. This makes it perfect for the pharmaceutical sector and for storing liquid products.
Choose a Plastic Carton Style
To ensure that your products are protected and displayed in the best way possible, we offer two types of clear plastic cartons - folding cartons and packaging sleeves.
Both can be ordered in a high quantity with a rapid turnaround time.
Folded Cartons
We can manufacture carton packaging that is food-safe and sterile, customised or standardised — all with our high-quality guarantee. Available in a wide variety of shapes, along with the option to create a custom shape, our carton range is as big as your imagination.
We manufacture these folding cartons in 4 easy-to-fold designs:
- Tuck End Flap
-
Tuck End Flap with Slit Locks
-
Envelope
-
'D' Lock
Our clear packaging cartons with tuck-in flaps and 'D' locks are popular because they are uncomplicated to fold and tuck in during assembly and once products have been inserted. These carton tuck systems make for secure closures.
Packaging Sleeves & Wraps
Whatever doesn't work well with a folding carton, clear sleeve packaging can package to perfection.
We can design a sleeve wrap uniquely designed to fit the shape of your product as a packaging alternative to using a transparent plastic carton or box.
We also create plinths to accompany your plastic box packaging.
Clear Plastic Cartons Made to Order
We manufacture transparent plastic cartons and packaging products in a variety of shapes and styles.
With our extensive industry experience in the manufacturing of clear PET cartons and boxes, we have created many durable and eye-catching solutions that have enhanced gift, retail, or food items.
Whether you want to use them to stock items that need to be visible or for products where the branding is of higher importance, we can create the carton packaging you need.
In-House Clear Carton Designers
Your clear packaging cartons do not have to be plain and forgettable. We offer everything you need to enhance your products' appeal.

- Embossing
- Foil stamping
