8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes

1. Product Overview of 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes

The Lumapack 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box is a square hinged-lid food container made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across takeaway, delivery, and catering operations. Measuring 202mm (L) × 220mm (W) × 70mm (H), it provides a compact yet generously portioned single-container solution with three moulded compartments that keep food components physically separated throughout packing, transit, and service.

This format is commonly selected where a secure, self-closing square container is required to present a main with separate accompaniments — such as a protein with rice and a sauce — without the need for additional pots, cups, or a separate lid. The integrated hinged clamshell design allows rapid packing during service while keeping contents stable during transport. It is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe, making it well suited to meal-prep and delivery-led kitchen operations.

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 foodservice operators looking to reduce their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 200 boxes.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes

The 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box is typically selected where a complete meal with multiple components needs to be presented and transported securely in a single container.

Common applications include:

• Hot main meals with sides prepared by takeaway restaurants, casual dining operators, and delivery kitchens — including grilled proteins with rice and vegetables, curry with rice and a side salad, or noodles with accompaniments — where keeping components separated during transit is required
• Street food and festival formats where a self-contained, self-closing container is required to serve a full portion with sauce and garnish at counters, events, and outdoor operations
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for cloud kitchens, meal-prep services, and corporate catering operators requiring microwave-safe, freezer-safe packaging with built-in portion separation for prepared multi-component meals
• Catering and buffet service where consistent presentation of a plated meal with separated components is required for events and institutional catering
• Cold prepared food including grain bowls, protein plates, and salad combinations served by delis and food-to-go operations where compartment separation improves presentation and prevents flavour mixing

This format is particularly suited to independent restaurants, cloud kitchens, and catering businesses operating delivery-led menus, where consistent container sizing, portion control, and reliable closure performance are required across service periods.

3. Operational Benefits of 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes for Takeaway and Delivery

• Three compartments in one container: The three moulded compartments keep food components physically separated during packing, transit, and delivery — helping to maintain the intended presentation and preventing flavours, sauces, and textures from mixing before the customer opens the box. This removes the need for separate sauce pots or side containers in many applications.
• No separate lid required: The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without a separate lid, reducing the number of packaging components required during service and simplifying kitchen workflows. This also removes the risk of lid-size mismatches during busy packing periods.
• 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. This makes the 8" 3-compartment box well suited to meal-prep operations and restaurant delivery services where end customers reheat food at home.
• Rigid construction supports presentation during delivery: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when filled with hot food, including moist dishes and sauced meals, throughout typical delivery workflows. This helps support food presentation on arrival compared with lighter-weight alternatives that may flex or deform under load.
• 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 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box from Lumapack Apart

Compared with standard plastic clamshell containers, PE-lined paper alternatives, and open bowl-and-lid systems, the Lumapack 8" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box offers a plant-based material profile with built-in portion separation and practical foodservice performance.

Three-Compartment Design Eliminates Extra Packaging Components

Where bowl-and-lid systems require separate sauce pots or side containers to serve a complete meal, the 8" 3-compartment format contains everything in one box. This simplifies packing workflows, reduces the total number of packaging components per order, and supports a cleaner presentation when the customer opens the box.

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.

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 periods. This is a consistent operational advantage compared with 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 the full journey from production kitchen through delivery to end-customer reheating, without requiring transfer to a different vessel.
