9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes (200 pcs)

1. Product overview of 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes

The Lumapack 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box is a square hinged-lid food container made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice operations where separated presentation of multiple food components in a single container is required. With a footprint of 238mm × 238mm and a height of 70mm, it provides a practical multi-component solution for takeaway, delivery, and catering operations that need to keep different food items divided without requiring multiple containers.

Three internal moulded compartments allow operators to present a main portion alongside sides, sauces, or accompaniments within one self-contained box. The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without the need for a separate lid, simplifying packing and reducing the number of packaging components required during service. The 9" square format is well suited to full meal portions and multi-element dishes commonly found in delivery-led and restaurant takeaway 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 seeking to reduce their packaging footprint. Each case contains 200 boxes.

2. Typical foodservice uses for 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes

The 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box is typically selected where a full meal with separated components needs to be packed securely for takeaway or delivery in a single, self-closing 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 salad, curry or stew with separate accompaniments, and noodle or rice dishes with divided sauce or relish components – where keeping elements separated during transport improves the eating experience on arrival
• Meal-prep and batch delivery formats for cloud kitchens, corporate catering, and meal-prep services where dishes are portioned and packed in advance, refrigerated or frozen, and reheated by the end customer – the microwavable and freezer safe specification allows the same box to be used from production through to reheating without repacking
• Street food and festival catering where operators serve a main portion with dipping sauces, slaws, or garnishes that benefit from physical separation during service, in a format that can be held and eaten immediately
• Catering and events where pre-portioned multi-element meals are prepared off-site and transported for service at venues, outdoor events, or institutional catering environments requiring a self-contained, presentable format
• Cold prepared food including grain bowls, salad with protein and dressing components, or deli plates where multiple elements are presented separately in a rigid, structured container

This format is particularly suited to operators who serve multi-element dishes and want to consolidate packaging components, reduce assembly time, and present food consistently across service periods.

3. Operational benefits of 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Boxes for takeaway and delivery

• Three compartments for separated food presentation: The three moulded internal compartments keep different food components physically separated throughout packing and transit. This allows operators to include sauces, sides, or accompaniments within the same box without cross-contamination of components, reducing the need for additional small pots or separate containers for each element.
• No separate lid required: The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without a separate lid, reducing the number of packaging components required per order and simplifying packing workflows during busy service periods. There is no risk of lid-size mismatches or incorrect lid selection when packing at volume.
• 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 microwave reheating without requiring the customer to transfer food to a different vessel. This makes the box well suited to meal-prep services, dark kitchen delivery operations, and restaurant services where end customers reheat food at home.
• Rigid square construction maintains shape under load: The square bagasse fibre construction holds its shape when filled with hot food, moist dishes, and cold prepared food throughout standard packing and delivery workflows. The 9" square footprint provides a generous capacity while remaining a manageable size for service, counter packing, and delivery bag formats.
• Industrially compostable material for lower-impact operations: 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 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic clamshell containers and PE-lined paper alternatives, the Lumapack 9" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box offers a plant-based material profile with practical multi-component foodservice performance.

Three compartments in one self-closing container

The moulded 3-compartment layout allows operators to pack a main portion alongside sides, sauces, or accompaniments in a single, self-closing box. This removes the need for additional small pots or secondary containers for each element, reducing assembly time and the total number of packaging components required per order.

Plant-based construction with no plastic lining

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 a practical option for operators managing sustainability requirements without compromising on container performance.

Integrated hinged closure for faster packing

The self-closing hinged lid removes the need for a separate lid component, reducing packing complexity during busy service periods. This is a consistent operational advantage compared with bowl and separate lid systems that require individual lid selection and application for each container.

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 food to be transferred to a different vessel.
