Measuring 202mm (L) × 220mm (W) × 70mm (H), it provides a compact yet generously portioned single-container solution with three moulded compartments that keep food components physically separated throughout packing, transit, and service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis format is commonly selected where a secure, self-closing square container is required to present a main with separate accompaniments — such as a protein with rice and a sauce — without the need for additional pots, cups, or a separate lid. The integrated hinged clamshell design allows rapid packing during service while keeping contents stable during transport. It is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe, making it well suited to meal-prep and delivery-led kitchen operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box 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 offers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic food containers for foodservice operators looking to reduce their packaging footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8\" Bagasse 3 Compartment Square Clamshell Box is typically selected where a complete meal with multiple components needs to be presented and transported securely in a single container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eHot main meals with sides prepared by takeaway restaurants, casual dining operators, and delivery kitchens — including grilled proteins with rice and vegetables, curry with rice and a side salad, or noodles with accompaniments — where keeping components separated during transit is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eStreet food and festival formats where a self-contained, self-closing container is required to serve a full portion with sauce and garnish at counters, events, and outdoor operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMeal-prep and batch delivery for cloud kitchens, meal-prep services, and corporate catering operators requiring microwave-safe, freezer-safe packaging with built-in portion separation for prepared multi-component meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCatering and buffet service where consistent presentation of a plated meal with separated components is required for events and institutional catering\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCold prepared food including grain bowls, protein plates, and salad combinations served by delis and food-to-go operations where compartment separation improves presentation and prevents flavour mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThree compartments in one container: The three moulded compartments keep food components physically separated during packing, transit, and delivery — helping to maintain the intended presentation and preventing flavours, sauces, and textures from mixing before the customer opens the box. This removes the need for separate sauce pots or side containers in many applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eNo separate lid required: The integrated hinged clamshell design closes securely without a separate lid, reducing the number of packaging components required during service and simplifying kitchen workflows. This also removes the risk of lid-size mismatches during busy packing periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMicrowavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same container to be used from freezer storage through to reheating without repacking. This makes the 8\" 3-compartment box well suited to meal-prep operations and restaurant delivery services where end customers reheat food at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRigid construction supports presentation during delivery: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when filled with hot food, including moist dishes and sauced meals, throughout typical delivery workflows. This helps support food presentation on arrival compared with lighter-weight alternatives that may flex or deform under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIndustrially compostable material for operators seeking lower-impact packaging: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues and clients requiring compostable packaging can use this product where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NextWave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62823199834483,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6232\/4339\/files\/Bagasse3CompartmentSquareClamshellBoxes8inch_64421b5e-3a60-4118-80ed-8e50468b64f5.jpg?v=1778284769","url":"https:\/\/next-wave.uk\/products\/8-inch-bagasse-3-compartment-square-clamshell-boxes","provider":"Next Wave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
