8" Sugarcane Bagasse Clamshell Container 900ml – CTN200 | Eve Zone

8" Sugarcane Bagasse Clamshell Container, 900ml (Carton of 200)

This 8-inch clamshell holds 900ml. It comes with an attached hinged lid. It's made from sugarcane bagasse, so it's plastic-free and commercially compostable. It handles hot, oily food without leaking. Each carton ships 200 containers, enough to keep a kitchen stocked for weeks.

It's a foodservice standard for a reason. Burgers, toasted sandwiches, wraps, hot chips, dumplings, and party food all fit and travel well inside it. The lid folds flat for loading. Then it locks down for delivery or takeaway. Nothing shifts or spills on the way out the door.

Part of a wider compostable range.

This clamshell sits alongside Eve Zone's other bagasse and paper-based packaging. Serving lighter cold items like salads or pasta too? The 500ml Kraft Bio-Board Takeaway Base uses the same plastic-free approach in a smaller footprint. Prepping meals ahead of service? Our Black Meal Prep Containers with Clear Lid cover fridge and freezer storage once the food is portioned.

Why it holds up.

The bagasse fibre is dense. It naturally resists oil and moisture, so hot chips and saucy burgers stay contained instead of soaking through. There's no plastic lining and no added PFAS ("forever chemicals") for grease resistance. That's how a lot of cheaper clamshells fake durability. It's microwave-safe and freezer-friendly too. So it works for reheating leftovers or freezing prepped meals, not just one trip out the door.

Where it fits.

Restaurants and takeaway shops use it for burgers, wraps, and combo meals. Cafes and food trucks like the compact size on a tight counter. Caterers stack it for party food and individual meal boxes. Running a wider foodservice operation? Our Hospitality collection covers the rest of what a kitchen or venue needs beyond this one container.

Why we stock it.

Eve Zone picks packaging suppliers the same way we pick everything else in the catalogue. We look for durability, compostability, and no hidden plastic lining. Read more about how we choose materials on our Why Eve Zone page.

Buying at volume.

A full carton of 200 costs less per unit than smaller packs. Bagasse stores well flat and dry too, so there's no downside to ordering ahead. Supplying multiple sites, or want wholesale pricing on a carton like this one?

Why This Clamshell Stands Out?

• 900ml of Real Capacity: It fits a loaded burger, a full wrap, or a big serve of hot chips. The lid won't bulge or pop open in transit.
• Truly Compostable: It's made from 100% sugarcane bagasse. That's a fast-growing by-product of sugar refining. There's no added PFAS ("forever chemicals") for grease resistance. It breaks down in commercial compost. Foam and plastic-lined clamshells don't.
• Resists Leaks and Grease: The bagasse fiber is dense. It naturally blocks oil and moisture. Hot chips, fried food, and saucy burgers stay put instead of soaking through.
• Hinged Lid, No Loose Parts: The lid is attached. It folds flat for loading and locks down for delivery. You'll never lose or mismatch a lid.
• Microwave and Freezer Safe: Reheat leftovers right in the box. Freeze prepped meals in it too. No plastic liner to melt or warp.
• Stacks Cleanly: Every box is the same 8" x 8" size. They stack neatly in storage, on the prep line, or in a delivery bag.

Ideal Applications

• Restaurants & Takeaway Shops: A go-to for burgers, wraps, toasted sandwiches, and combo meals.
• Cafés & Food Trucks: Small enough for the counter. Tough enough for a bumpy trip.
• Catering & Events: Stack and carry party food, finger food, and meal boxes without leaks.
• Meal Prep & Delivery Services: Goes from freezer to microwave with ease.
• Eco-Focused Businesses: An easy swap from foam or plastic if you're cutting single-use plastic.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Putting it in the oven. It's microwave-safe, not oven-safe. Dry heat can scorch or warp the fibre.
• Overfilling past the lid line. The 900ml fill line is there for a reason. Overpacking stops the lid from sealing shut and risks spills.
• Storing it somewhere damp. Keep bagasse cartons dry before use. Humidity softens the box before you even fill it.
• Assuming "compostable" means any bin. It needs commercial composting, or a home setup that takes fibre packaging. It won't break down well in normal landfill waste.

Best Practices

• Order a few weeks ahead. Bagasse cartons store well flat and dry, and a full carton of 200 costs less per unit than small packs.
• Pair it with bagasse cutlery or napkins if you're promoting a plastic-free service. Consistency backs up the message.
• Show kitchen staff the fill line and how to close the hinge. It takes seconds and stops most leaks.

Key Takeaways

• The 8" clamshell holds 900ml. It suits burgers, wraps, hot chips, and single-serve meals.
• It's made from 100% sugarcane bagasse. That means compostable, plastic-free, and PFAS-free.
• The lid is hinged and attached. Each carton ships 200 pieces.
• It's microwave-safe and freezer-friendly, but not oven-safe.
• It needs commercial compost (or a home setup that takes fibre packaging) to break down properly.

FAQs

What size is an 8" clamshell container?

It's about 8 inches by 8 inches (roughly 203mm x 203mm) and about 63mm tall. That gives it a 900ml fill capacity enough for a standard burger, wrap, or serve of hot chips.

Is the 8" bagasse clamshell microwave safe?

Yes. The sugarcane bagasse is microwave-safe, so it's fine for reheating leftovers. It's not made for ovens or grills, though.

Is this container actually compostable?

Yes. It's 100% sugarcane bagasse. There's no plastic lining and no added PFAS. It's commercially compostable. Check with your council or waste provider first, since not every green-waste bin takes fibre foodservice packaging.

How many containers come in a carton?

200. Each one has its own attached hinged lid.

What foods work best in this container?

Burgers, toasted sandwiches, wraps, hot chips, dumplings, party food, and most takeaway or delivery meals that need a tight, leak-resistant seal.

Can I freeze food in this container?

Yes. It's freezer-friendly for meal prep, and safe to go straight from the freezer to the microwave.
