9" Bagasse Square Clamshell Boxes (250 pcs)

1. Product overview of 9" Bagasse Square Clamshell Boxes

The Lumapack 9" bagasse 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. With a footprint of 228mm × 228mm and a height of 76mm, it provides a practical single-container solution for burgers, full main meals, and square-format takeaway portions.

This format is commonly selected where a secure, self-closing container is required for generous square portions without the need for a separate lid. The 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 250 boxes.

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

The 9" bagasse square clamshell box is typically selected where a full-sized square portion needs to be packed securely for takeaway, delivery, or counter service.

Common applications include:

• Burgers and stacked sandwiches served by burger restaurants, casual dining operators, and street food traders, where the square format provides a snug fit around large burgers, double stacks, and loaded buns without compressing the contents
• Hot main meals prepared by takeaway restaurants, delivery kitchens, and cloud kitchen operations, including rice dishes, pasta, curries, and noodle boxes where a full square footprint is required
• Street food and festival catering where robust, self-closing packaging is required for food served at counters, events, and outdoor operations, and where a square format suits the presentation style
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for corporate catering operators and meal-prep services that require microwave-safe, freezer-safe packaging for prepared meals supplied in standardised square containers
• Cold prepared food including grain bowls, cold protein plates, and deli portions served by food-to-go operations requiring a presentable, rigid square container

This format is particularly suited to burger restaurants, street food operators, and cloud kitchens operating delivery-led menus, where the square footprint maximises box efficiency and consistent container sizing is required across service periods.

3. Operational benefits of 9" Bagasse Square 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 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 9" square 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.
• Square footprint for efficient packing: The 228mm × 228mm square base makes efficient use of delivery bag space alongside other square-format containers, supporting consistent stacking and bag organisation across multi-item delivery orders.
• 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 9" Bagasse Square Clamshell Box from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic clamshell containers and PE-lined paper alternatives, the Lumapack 9" bagasse square clamshell box offers a plant-based material profile with practical foodservice performance.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction

Unlike PE-lined paper bowls or plastic clamshells, this box is produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining. This means 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.

Square format for burger and full-meal applications

The 9" square footprint is sized for large burgers, full main-meal portions, and square-format dishes that do not suit a rectangular clamshell. The additional height of 76mm accommodates stacked items and generously filled portions while the hinged lid closes securely without compressing contents.

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.

Competitive pricing

Lumapack positions this 9" bagasse square clamshell box competitively against comparable compostable packaging options from established UK foodservice packaging suppliers. Volume pricing is available for regular ordering requirements.
