A clamshell case is the one accessory an optical patient uses every day, which makes it worth more attention than it usually gets. Noble Pack stocks 43 clamshell and snap-close eyewear cases. For the wider optical range, see optical and optical cases.
Case Types
Snap-close cases, including our Signature range and grain-pattern finishes, which close positively without a zip to wear out.
Leatherette clamshells, in standard and large sizes for wider frames and sunglasses.
Hard shell cases, including brushed and lightning-grain finishes, for the most protection in a bag.
Brushed PU, a smoother modern finish.
Patterned and decorative, including metallic crocodile, mosaic and glossy puzzle designs.
Kids cases, including geometric designs, built for being dropped.
Sizing
Standard cases fit most prescription frames. Large sizes are stocked for sunglasses, wraparound and oversized frames, which is the most common sizing mistake in an optical dispensary. Hold both.
Choosing by Patient
Everyday prescription wear: snap-close leatherette, the best balance of protection and pocket size.
Sunglasses and large frames: large leatherette or large hard shell.
Children: kids hard shell designs, which survive being sat on.
Premium dispensing: metallic crocodile and brushed PU, which present better at handover.
Custom Branded Eyewear Cases
A case carries a practice name for the life of the glasses, which makes it one of the better-value branded items in optical. Foil stamping and printing are available through our custom packaging service.
Eyeglass Case FAQs
What is a clamshell case? A rigid hinged case that snaps shut along its edge, with no zip or separate lid. It gives hard-shell protection with one-handed opening.
Will a standard case fit sunglasses? Often not. Sunglasses and wraparound frames need the large sizes stocked here.
Which case is most protective? The hard shell styles. Leatherette clamshells are a step down in rigidity and a step up in pocketability.
Do you stock cleaning cloths to pair with these? Yes, in the optical range.
