A clamshell package for displaying and housing products or other objects that is substantially pilfer-resistant, yet safe to open. The clamshell packaging includes a substantially tear-resistant housing that encloses a display chamber by criss-cross grain material to provide cut or tear resistance in multiple directions. The display chamber of the clamshell package may be either substantially transparent to allow for the product to be displayed or substantially opaque display graphics and/or to prevent the contents from being viewed. The chamber is preferably seamless such that it may not be opened without the use of scissors and, when opened, such opening is readily apparent. Furthermore, when cut open, the material used does not form sharp or jagged edges that may pose a danger to anyone handling the package. In addition to clamshell packages, the tear resistant material may also be used in blister packs and other types of packaging.

Apparatus and methods for creating multi-layered lightly-laminated provide films with increased or maintained strength. An increased level of strength is achieved by bonding adjacent layers of the multi-layer film together in a manner that the bond strength of the laminated layers is less than a strength of a weakest tear resistance of the individual first and second film layers. The inventors have surprisingly found that such a configuration of light bonding provides increased and unexpected strength properties to the multi-layer film as compared to a monolayer film of equal thickness or a multi-layer film in which the plurality of layers are tightly bonded together.
