Deep Bagasse Trays (500 pcs)

1. Product overview of Deep Bagasse Trays

The Lumapack Deep Bagasse Tray is an open-top food tray made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), measuring 324mm × 155mm (8.5" × 5"). Designed for professional foodservice use, it provides a self-supporting, rigid tray format suitable for chips, street food, fried food, and counter service operations where a lid or closure is not required.

The deep-walled construction allows generous portions to be served without spillage during handling. The bagasse fibre base provides natural grease resistance, making it well suited to oily and fried food applications without the need for a plastic liner or coating. The tray is microwavable and freezer safe, adding operational flexibility for meal-prep and reheating workflows.

Manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse) — a renewable plant-based agricultural by-product — with no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, the Deep Bagasse Tray is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. As an industrially compostable product, it offers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or foam trays for operators reducing their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 500 trays.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Deep Bagasse Trays

The Lumapack Deep Bagasse Tray is suited to counter service and street food formats where food is served immediately and an open-top tray is the appropriate format.

Common applications include:

• Chips and fried food served by chip shops, fish and chip restaurants, and street food operators where a grease-resistant, self-supporting tray is the standard service format
• Street food and festival catering including hot snacks, loaded fries, and eat-on-the-go portions at events, markets, and outdoor catering operations
• Counter service in canteens, cafeterias, and casual dining where food is plated directly into a tray format at the point of service
• Meal-prep and batch production operations where microwavable, freezer-safe trays are required for prepared portions ahead of service
• Catering and event service where a rigid, food-safe, compostable tray format is preferred over disposable plastic alternatives

This format is particularly suited to chip shops, street food vendors, festival caterers, and canteen operators where speed of service and ease of handling are primary operational requirements.

3. Operational benefits of Deep Bagasse Trays for foodservice

• Open-top tray design for rapid service: The open-top format allows food to be loaded quickly at the counter without assembly or lid application, supporting fast-paced service operations. The tray is self-supporting and rigid enough to be held in one hand during service.
• Grease-resistant base for fried and oily food: The bagasse fibre construction provides natural grease resistance, preventing oil migration through the tray during service. This makes the Deep Bagasse Tray a practical choice for chips, battered fish, and other fried food applications without requiring additional lining.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification. The same tray can be used from freezer storage through to microwave reheating, making it suitable for meal-prep operations and canteen service environments where pre-portioned food is prepared ahead of service.
• Rigid construction supports handling without a plate: The bagasse fibre construction holds its shape under a full portion of food, allowing it to be held and eaten from directly without requiring a separate plate or tray liner.
• Industrially compostable for operators managing packaging commitments: The tray contains no plastic lining and is made entirely from sugarcane fibre. Operators managing sustainability commitments or working in environments requiring compostable packaging can use this product where appropriate industrial composting facilities are available.
