9" x 6" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes

The Lumapack 9" x 6" bagasse clamshell box is a rectangular hinged-lid food container made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across takeaway, delivery, and catering operations. Measuring 249mm × 162mm × 63mm, it provides a practical single-container solution for main meals, hot food, cold prepared food, and bakery items.

The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without a separate lid, supporting faster packing during service while keeping contents stable during transport. The box is suitable for both hot and cold food, microwavable, and freezer safe — making it well suited to meal-prep services, delivery kitchens, and catering operations that require a container to travel the full journey from kitchen to customer.

Manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), a renewable plant-based material produced as a by-product of sugarcane processing, with no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA. It is suitable for direct food contact and is industrially compostable, offering a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic food containers.

Each case contains 250 boxes.

Typical foodservice uses for 9" x 6" Bagasse Clamshell Boxes

The 9" x 6" bagasse clamshell box is typically selected where a self-contained main meal or substantial portion needs to be packed securely for takeaway or delivery. Common applications include:

• Hot main meals prepared by takeaway restaurants, casual dining operators, and delivery kitchens — including grilled chicken, rice dishes, pasta, curries, and noodle boxes — where a secure single-container format is preferred over a lidded bowl
• Bakery and sandwich formats used by cafés, delis, and sandwich counters, where the box provides protection for items requiring a rigid container rather than a bag or wrap
• Street food and festival catering where robust, self-closing packaging is required for food served at counters, outdoor events, and market operations
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for cloud kitchens, meal-prep services, and corporate catering operators that require microwavable, freezer safe packaging for prepared meals
• Cold prepared food including salads, grain bowls, and cold protein plates served by delis and food-to-go operations requiring a presentable, rigid container

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

Operational benefits of 9" x 6" 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 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" x 6" 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, helping support food presentation on arrival compared with lighter-weight alternatives that may flex or deform under load.
• Grease-resistant base and lid. Natural bagasse fibre provides inherent resistance to oil and grease migration from hot food, maintaining the integrity of the container during service.
• Industrially compostable material. 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.

What sets this 9" x 6" Bagasse Clamshell Box from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic clamshell containers and PE-lined paper alternatives, the Lumapack 9" x 6" bagasse clamshell box offers a plant-based material profile with practical foodservice performance.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction

Produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining, the full container is industrially compostable and contains no PFAS-added coatings — suitable for operators managing sustainability requirements without compromising on functional performance.

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.

Consistent sizing for operations
