7" x 5" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes (600 pcs)

1. Product overview of 7" x 5" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes

The Lumapack 7" x 5" bagasse clamshell box is a compact rectangular hinged-lid food container made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across takeaway, delivery, bakery, and catering operations. With a footprint of 180mm × 125mm and a height of 65mm, it provides a practical single-container solution for snacks, sandwiches, pastries, smaller main meals, and food-to-go formats.

This format is commonly selected where a secure, self-closing container is required for smaller portions without the need for a separate lid. The hinged clamshell design allows rapid packing during busy service periods while keeping contents stable during transport. It is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe, making it a versatile choice for cafés, delis, cloud kitchens, and food-to-go operators.

The box is manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), a renewable plant-based material produced as a by-product of sugarcane processing. It contains no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, and is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. As an industrially compostable product, it offers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic food containers for operators looking to reduce their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 600 boxes.

2. Typical foodservice uses for 7" x 5" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes

The 7" x 5" bagasse clamshell box is typically selected where a compact, self-contained portion needs to be packed securely for counter service, takeaway, or delivery.

Common applications include:

• Bakery and pastry items used by cafés, bakeries, and coffee shops, where the rigid hinged lid protects croissants, muffins, slices, and similar goods without crushing during handling or transit
• Sandwiches and wraps served by delis, sandwich counters, and food-to-go operations, where the box provides a cleaner and more presentable format than a paper bag
• Snacks and smaller hot portions such as spring rolls, samosas, gyoza, chicken wings, and similar grab-and-go items prepared by takeaway restaurants and street food operators
• Cold prepared food including small salads, grain bowls, and cold protein plates where a rigid, presentable container is preferred over a film-lidded tray
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for cloud kitchens and meal-prep operations requiring microwave-safe, freezer-safe packaging for smaller portion sizes
• Events and catering where individual portioned servings are plated in advance and require a reliable, self-closing container for buffet or hospitality service

This format is particularly suited to cafés, delis, independent restaurants, and food-to-go businesses where a smaller footprint clamshell is needed alongside or instead of a larger container format.

3. Operational benefits of 7" x 5" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes for takeaway and delivery

• No separate lid required: The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without a separate lid, reducing the number of packaging components during service and simplifying kitchen workflows. This removes the risk of lid-size mismatches during busy packing periods.
• Compact footprint for smaller portions: At 7" x 5", this format is well suited to snack-sized and smaller meal portions where a full 9" x 6" box would be oversized. The more compact format also allows more efficient use of counter space and storage.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same container to be used from freezer storage through to reheating without repacking. Suitable for meal-prep operations and delivery services where customers reheat food at home.
• Rigid construction supports presentation during delivery: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when filled with baked goods, cold food, or hot snacks during typical delivery and counter workflows. This supports food presentation on arrival compared with lighter-weight alternatives.
• Industrially compostable material for operators seeking lower-impact packaging: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues and clients requiring compostable packaging can use this product where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.

5. What sets this 7" x 5" Bagasse Clamshell Box from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic clamshell containers and PE-lined paper alternatives, the Lumapack 7" x 5" bagasse clamshell box offers a plant-based material profile combined with practical foodservice performance in a compact format.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction
Unlike PE-lined paper containers or plastic clamshells, this box is produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining. The full container is industrially compostable and contains no PFAS-added coatings, making it suitable for operators managing sustainability requirements without compromising on functional performance.

Compact format for smaller portions and snack applications
At 7" x 5", this box fills the gap between a full meal container and a paper bag, providing a rigid, presentable solution for bakery items, sandwiches, and snack-sized portions that benefit from proper containment and protection without the bulk of a larger format.

Integrated hinged closure for faster packing
The self-closing hinged lid removes the need for a separate lid component, reducing packing complexity and the risk of mismatched sizes during busy service. This is a consistent operational advantage over bowl-and-lid systems that require separate lid selection and application.

Microwavable and freezer safe in one container
The bagasse specification supports both freezer storage and microwave reheating, allowing the same container to travel from production kitchen to end customer reheating without requiring transfer to a different vessel.

Competitive pricing
Lumapack positions this 7" x 5" bagasse clamshell box competitively against comparable compostable packaging options from established UK foodservice packaging suppliers. Volume pricing is available for regular ordering requirements.
