Custom Memory Module Clamshells
Blue Ridge Thermoforming thermoforms custom memory module clamshells for one or two DIMMs or SODIMMs, for retail and resale presentation.
Request a QuoteA DIMM clamshell is the unit pack for a memory module that leaves the bulk tray. RAM clamshell packaging holds a single module or a pair, with the edge connector captured in the form.
The same approach covers SODIMM. Bulk handling stays on the DDR5 and SODIMM tray pages. This page is the retail and resale shell.
A shell for one module or a pair
Single DIMM clamshell
One module, one cavity, a lid that keeps the connector seated. Useful for graded resale and for a return that should not go back into a bulk tray.
Dual-module packs
Kit packs for a matched pair, with both modules oriented the same way so a buyer sees what they ordered.
Server and laptop modules
RDIMM, LRDIMM, UDIMM, and SODIMM each get a cavity tooled to that outline, including heat spreaders.
Clear presentation
Clear or black static-dissipative material lets you choose shelf visibility or a closed pack.
Static-control materials
- Clear or black static-dissipative options are available when a lot needs visual inspection, alongside conductive materials for the most sensitive parts.
- Static-dissipative shells so the module stays protected after it leaves the tray.
- ESD-grade PET and rPET for a recyclable retail pack.
- Snap or hinge closures formed in the same shell.
From bulk tray to unit pack
- Pull a graded module from the tray into a clamshell
- Fit-check the cavity against a sample module
- Match the clamshell material to the tray material family
- Production runs at low or high volume under ISO 9001:2015 quality processes, made in Greenville, SC.
Retail packaging without a loose insert
Memory retail packaging works when the buyer can see the module and the connector cannot hit the wall of the pack. Thermoformed retention does that inside the clamshell.
If you still need the lot-level tray, start with memory module trays, DDR5 DIMM trays, or SODIMM trays, then add clamshells for the units you sell. General clamshell packaging covers non-memory parts.
We supply the pack. We do not sell or grade the memory.
Tell us whether the buyer should see the module. Clear static-dissipative shells suit a listing photo and a shelf. Black shells suit a closed spare pack that still has to control charge around the connector. Fit-check uses the same sample module you would hand a buyer, including any heat spreader that stays on. The hinge or two-piece closure is checked at the same time so the module cannot walk when the pack is closed.
Memory Clamshell FAQs
Can a clamshell hold two modules?
Yes. Single- and dual-module cavities are both available for DIMM and SODIMM.
Will the clamshell fit a module with a heat spreader?
Yes. Cavity depth is tooled to the sample module, including taller spreaders.
What are your minimums and lead times?
Depends on part and volume. Send your counts and we'll quote it.
