8×9 Inch Bagasse Clamshell Box – Compostable Takeout Container with Custom Logo

What This Container Is

A full meal needs a container with depth, not just width. The 8×9 inch footprint with a 3-inch wall is built for fish and chips, curry and rice, pasta with sauce, or a salad with grilled chicken on top.

Our bagasse clamshell box is pressed from sugarcane fiber as a single piece, lid and base joined by a living hinge. Two front tabs lock the lid down – not one, because the 8×9 inch lid is wide enough that a single tab lets the corners lift. The 8x9 inch compostable container measures 229 × 203 × 76 mm. It holds a full entree without the base bowing.

We supply these custom takeout packaging products to restaurants, ghost kitchens, and caterers. The fiber is naturally oil-resistant, so saucy dishes don't need a coating. The bagasse clamshell box stacks two high in a warmer without crushing the bottom one.

Physical Data

Footprint and depth. The 8x9 inch compostable container measures 229 mm by 203 mm at the top, with a 76 mm wall height. The base is slightly smaller than the lid – 216 × 190 mm – so the containers nest when stacked empty.

Wall build. The base panel is pressed to 1.5 mm. The side walls are 1.2 mm. The difference is deliberate: the base carries the weight of the meal, the walls only need to hold shape. The living hinge is pressed thinner than both so it folds without cracking.

Locking. Two front tabs, press-fit into slots on the base. Two tabs instead of one because the lid is wide; a single tab would let the corners lift during delivery.

Weight and tolerance. The bagasse clamshell box weighs 38 g ± 1.0 g. The variance comes from natural fiber density, not from inconsistent molding. Press the center of the lid with your thumb – it flexes slightly but doesn't collapse.

Material. Sugarcane bagasse fiber, unbleached. No coating, no wax, no plastic film. Heat ceiling 120°C, cold floor -20°C. Carton count 200 pcs.

Factory Notes

We mold the bagasse clamshell box in our own plant. The lid and base come out of the same tool – no separate lid inventory, no assembly line.

Printing happens on-site. We don't subcontract the 8x9 inch compostable container logo work to a third party, so the artwork proof you approve is the artwork that runs.

Every batch gets a hinge flex check and a lock tab engagement check before it's packed. We keep the test records with the batch number.

Certifications: FDA food contact, BPI compostability, ISO 9001 process control.

Sample orders of custom takeout packaging ship before bulk commitment. Lead time 15 to 25 days after sample approval.
