Incaser® Clamshell Packs:
Cost-effective, stackable, returnable for large heavy assemblies.

Use When

  • The content needs total enclosure
  • Product cannot bare weight
  • Ideal for family of items
  • Multiple packs stack high for storage or shipping
  • A closed-loop system or premium packaging for a high-value product is required
  • Existing or planned disposable packaging or steel racking cost exceeds $500,000 annually

Features and Options

  • Twinsheet shells for maximum strength
  • Four-way entry for easy access
  • Interlocking legs secure stack, require less overall height in stack
  • Adjustable position product hold-downs and seat belts to accomodate payloads of varying size in a single pack
  • Product view ports, label areas, serial numbers
  • Latching hardware, handles, lifting lugs
  • Colors or color stripes for identification
  • Drain holes

Size and Weight Limits

Incasers can be made in any size up to 9.5' long by 5.5' wide; each shell can be 3.5' high for a total height of 7'. Maximum product dimensions 9' by 5' by 6' high. Maximum weight of contents 2,500 pounds. Maximum overall stack weight 10,000 pounds

Hampel's Incaser is a design style applicable to many different packaging needs. There are no standard sizes - every application is custom designed for a product or product family. Incasers are best used when your product needs total enclosure, and your product cannot bare the weight of multiple packs stacked above. Incasers are very cost effective in a closed-loop system (i.e. factory-to-dealer) or the product is of such high value, premium packaging cost are of minimal consequence. Incasers provide value to you because they are returnable thus eliminating the cost of disposable packaging and all of its associated costs, materials, assembly, labor
                                                              and disposal.
Incasers are typically twinsheet molded to provide the requisite stacking and part holding requirements. See more on twinsheet below. Often, the top and bottom shell are the same, molded using the same tool - or slight variations resulting from different finishing operations. In most instances, Incasers are designed so that none or very little of the weight of the product stacked above it is borne by the product itself. IncaserŐs interlocking legs secure the stacks and reduce the overall stack height allowing for more to fit into a truck.

Incasers are viable and cost effective if present or planned expendable packaging costs for the product exceed $500,000 annually. Most projects have a payback in 6 to 18 months and are viable with as little as one product turn per year.

Twinsheet molding is a processing method yielding a finished part that is double walled řinner and outer with varying amount of space between them. The two sheets are married in the press and completely sealed together in an invisible unbreakable seam around the perimeter and in various other areas advantageous to the application. The advantages of twinsheet are numerous - the most important being considerable structural strength and the ability to have differing features on the top and bottom or inside and outside of the part. These advantages affect the degree of nestability.
