Clamshell Packaging

An idea that looked good on paper but actually causes more harm to the honest user rather than the intended criminal.

This sealed plastic dome causes many Americans to injure themselves in a magical rage, as there is no way to conventionally open the package with bare hands.

Even with scissors one can find themselves busting a blood vessel trying to free the product imprisoned in the case of failure.

Nathan couldn't get his headphones out of the clamshell packaging, and he resorted to biting and tearing until he split open his lip.

Get the Clamshell Packaging mug.

Paranoid packaging

The kind of packageing that when you try to remove it you realize the manufacturer was paranoid in creating the design. In other words the packaging is practacally impossible to remove and therefore the manufacturer is afraid someone will get to the product in the store before purchase. But you can't get the wrapping or packaging off the product yourself after purchase with out detonation of a nuke. So you just get look at your new thingie through the pretty package.

Mattel is using more paranoid packaging. Have you seen the new Barbie? Getting her out of the box is like trying to free her from bondage.
