2-Compartment Compostable Bagasse Clamshell Boxes 9 x 6 x 3 Inch – Pack of 250

Wholesale 9 x 6 x 3-Inch 2-Compartment Compostable Bagasse Takeaway Clamshell Boxes

In stock. Keep main dishes and side portions neatly separated with these 9 x 6 x 3-inch two-compartment bagasse clamshell boxes. Made from moulded sugarcane fibre, they provide a strong, plastic-free alternative to conventional foam and plastic takeaway meal containers.

The divided base creates two individual food sections, making the container ideal for meals such as curry with rice, chicken with chips, kebab with salad or a main course with a separate accompaniment. The compartments help reduce unwanted mixing while supporting cleaner presentation and more consistent portion control.

Each rectangular container measures approximately 230 × 160 × 75mm. The integrated hinged lid closes over both sections, helping protect the food during counter service, customer collection and takeaway delivery without requiring a separate lid.

The moulded bagasse construction provides useful resistance to grease and moisture. These boxes are suitable for hot and cold food, including many oily, wet and moderately saucy takeaway meals.

Supplied in a wholesale case of 250 two-compartment bagasse meal boxes, they are suitable for takeaways, restaurants, food trucks, caterers, workplace dining, schools and event foodservice businesses.

Two Compartments for Better Food Separation

The divided base helps keep two different food components apart inside one convenient takeaway box. This is especially helpful when a meal contains ingredients with different textures, flavours or moisture levels.

Suitable meal combinations include:

• Curry with rice
• Chicken with chips
• Kebab meat with salad
• Grilled meat with vegetables
• Fish with chips or another side
• Burger with chips
• Pasta with garlic bread
• Main course with rice or potatoes
• Breakfast items with a separate side
• Protein with carbohydrates or vegetables
• Street-food meals with accompaniments
• Workplace and school meal portions

The raised divider helps reduce mixing during normal handling. However, the compartments are not individually sealed. Keep the container level and avoid overfilling it with runny sauces or excessive free-flowing liquid.

Suitable for Hot and Cold Takeaway Meals

These bagasse meal boxes can be used for freshly cooked hot food as well as suitable cold and chilled portions. The rigid moulded-fibre construction provides greater stability and moisture resistance than many lightweight paper cartons.

Hot-food applications may include curries, rice dishes, chicken, grilled food, pasta, noodles, chips and breakfast portions. Cold-food uses may include salads, sandwiches, chilled meal preparations and buffet portions.

When packaging very hot food, allow excessive steam to escape briefly before fully closing the lid. This can help reduce condensation and support better food texture during transportation.

Leak-Resistant for Typical Foodservice Use

The moulded sugarcane-fibre construction provides useful resistance to grease, oil and moisture during normal takeaway service. This makes the box suitable for many meals containing sauces, cooked vegetables, cheese or oily ingredients.

The container is leak-resistant rather than completely leakproof. Keep it upright during handling and delivery, and do not use it for soups, drinks or large quantities of free-flowing liquid.

For especially runny sauces, use a separate suitable sauce pot rather than placing the full quantity directly into one of the compartments.

Strong Integrated Clamshell Design

The base and lid are manufactured as one integrated container. This makes preparation faster during busy service periods because staff do not need to locate or match separate lids.

The clamshell opens widely for easy filling and closes over both compartments. Check that the front closure is correctly engaged before handing the order to the customer or placing it inside a takeaway bag.

Avoid overfilling the sections, as excessive food can prevent the lid from closing securely.

Single-Compartment or Two-Compartment Box?

Choose the two-compartment box when you need to separate a main dish from a side, salad, rice or another accompaniment.

Choose the single-compartment 9 × 6 × 3-inch bagasse box when you need one uninterrupted space for fish and chips, large burgers, wraps, loaded fries or mixed meals that do not require separation.

Microwave Reheating Guidance

These bagasse clamshell boxes are suitable for appropriate short-duration microwave reheating. Use heating times suitable for the food type, portion size and microwave power.

Open or loosen the hinged lid where appropriate to allow steam to escape. The food and container may become hot, so use suitable hand protection when removing the box from the microwave.

Do not expose the container to an open flame, grill or direct heating element. Oven suitability should not be assumed unless the intended temperature and application have been specifically confirmed.

Made from Moulded Sugarcane Fibre

Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. These fibres can be moulded into strong foodservice packaging such as meal boxes, bowls, trays and disposable plates.

Using moulded sugarcane fibre provides a plant-based alternative to conventional plastic and expanded-polystyrene takeaway containers while maintaining the rigidity needed for professional foodservice use.

Compostable Takeaway Packaging

These boxes are made from compostable bagasse fibre. Their ability to break down depends on suitable composting conditions, the food residue present and the collection or treatment facilities available locally.

Check the disposal guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor. Compostable food packaging should not automatically be placed in conventional paper recycling unless the relevant waste provider confirms that it is accepted.

Storage and Handling Guidance

Store unused containers in their original packaging in a clean and dry location. Keep them away from moisture, direct heat, prolonged sunlight and strong odours.

Keep the outer case closed until the boxes are required to help protect them from dust and accidental contamination.

Avoid overfilling the compartments. Keep filled boxes level and upright during storage and delivery, particularly when meals contain sauces, grease or moist ingredients.
