Bagasse Chippy Trays (500 pcs)

1. Product overview of Bagasse Chippy Trays

The Lumapack Bagasse Chippy Tray is an open-top food tray made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for chip shops, street food counters, and fast-food operations that require a sturdy, grease-resistant tray for immediate service. Measuring 175mm (L) × 130mm (W) × 32mm (H) and sized at 7" × 5", the shallow tray format maximises food visibility while providing a self-supporting structure that can be held in one hand during service and eating.

This format is commonly selected for fish and chip shops, takeaway counters, and food trucks where hot chips, fried food, and similar portions are served directly to customers without the need for a closed container. The open-top tray design suits counter service and eat-on-the-go formats where quick handling and a clean presentation are both required.

The tray 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 provides a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic trays and polystyrene alternatives for foodservice operators managing their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 500 trays.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Bagasse Chippy Trays

The Bagasse Chippy Tray is primarily selected for high-throughput service environments where hot, fried, or street food is served directly from the counter in an open tray format.

Common applications include:

• Fish and chip shops requiring a sturdy, grease-resistant tray that holds a standard chip portion without flexing or showing through with oil, replacing polystyrene or single-use plastic alternatives
• Street food stalls and food trucks where a compact, self-supporting tray format allows customers to eat on the go without the need for separate crockery or a closed container
• Takeaway counters and fast-food operations serving chips, fried chicken, onion rings, and similar portions where an open-top tray is the standard service format
• Festival and outdoor catering where robust, biodegradable-stream packaging is required for high-volume, fast-turnaround service at events
• Casual dining and canteen service where the tray acts as a serving vessel for side portions, snacks, or light meals at counters or self-service stations

This format is particularly suited to fish and chip shops, fried food operators, and outdoor catering businesses that serve high volumes of portions across short service windows and require consistent, reliable tray performance throughout the day.

3. Operational benefits of Bagasse Chippy Trays

• Grease-resistant base for fried food service: The natural bagasse fibre construction provides inherent resistance to oil and grease migration from hot chips and fried food, helping to maintain tray integrity and prevent oil from reaching customers' hands during service.
• Open-top design for fast counter service: No lid or closure is required. The open-top tray format allows rapid packing and serving during busy service periods, making it well suited to high-throughput counter environments where speed is essential.
• Rigid enough to hold without a plate: The bagasse construction is self-supporting, allowing the tray to be held comfortably in one hand without flexing or collapsing under a standard portion of chips or fried food. This removes the need for a secondary plate or tray liner during service.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are confirmed by the product specification, offering additional operational flexibility for preparation workflows where pre-portioned items are stored or reheated before service.
• Industrially compostable material for operators reducing plastic: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Chip shops and street food operators seeking a direct replacement for polystyrene or plastic trays can use this format where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.
• Consistent sizing across a 500-piece case: Uniform tray dimensions support standardised portion sizes across service periods, reducing variability during busy periods and supporting consistent presentation.

5. What sets these Bagasse Chippy Trays from Lumapack apart

Compared with polystyrene chip trays and conventional single-use plastic alternatives, the Lumapack Bagasse Chippy Tray delivers a plant-based, industrially compostable format that meets the practical demands of fish and chip shop and street food service.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction

Unlike polystyrene or PE-lined paper trays, these trays are produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining or coating. The full tray is industrially compostable and contains no PFAS-added coatings, making it suitable for operators looking to replace fossil-fuel-derived packaging without compromising tray performance during service.

Grease resistance suited to fried food

The natural properties of bagasse fibre provide grease resistance appropriate for hot chips and fried food portions. This makes the tray a functional alternative to polystyrene in the most demanding counter service applications, without relying on a plastic or chemical barrier coating.

Self-supporting format for eat-on-the-go service

The rigid bagasse construction allows the tray to be held in one hand during service and eating, which is the standard use case for chippy tray formats. Lighter-weight alternatives may flex or deform under a full chip portion; the bagasse construction maintains its shape throughout service.

Competitive pricing across a 500-piece case

Lumapack supplies the Bagasse Chippy Tray in cases of 500, supporting the high-volume replenishment requirements of fish and chip shops and busy street food operations. Volume pricing is available for regular ordering requirements.
