The Da Vinci Clamshell, a single-use food packaging with a hinged lid that opens and closes just like the two shells of a clam, is an innovation patented by Seda as it is the first rounded paper clamshell of its kind for foodservice applications. Instead of merely adapting a conventional format to paper, Seda redesigned the packaging starting from the shape of the food product and the ways the consumer interacts with the package. The rounded top follows the natural profile of the product, helping to improve its stability and reduce lateral movement inside the package, while the slanted base facilitates grip and extraction. An intuitive opening and closing system further improves ease of use for both foodservice operators and consumers. The design also ensures stackability. The Da Vinci Clamshell is produced using cardboard made by MM Board & Paper.
The award recognizes Seda’s ability to combine structural innovation, industrial performance, and user experience, translating the specific needs of the foodservice industry into a distinctive, scalable, and proprietary paper packaging solution.
