Where it's used
The applications Clamshell, 9 x 6 Inch is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Burger, sandwich & wrap takeaway
The hinged-lid clamshell is the global QSR standard for burger, sandwich, wrap and panini takeaway. Bagasse clamshells hold the heat without the cardboard going soggy from steam — a 15–20 minute experience-window that PE-coated paperboard rivals lose at the 7-minute mark.
South Indian — dosa, idli takeaway
The 7×5 and 9×6 clamshell sizes are perfect-fit for dosa, uttapam, idli and South-Indian breakfast takeaway. The hinged-lid geometry holds the sambar/chutney cups separately on the lower tray with the dosa stacked on top — a layout South-Indian QSR chains have adopted at scale.
Bakery & sweet boxes
Patisseries, bakeries and Indian-sweet (mithai) shops use the clamshell range for cake-slice, pastry and burfi / barfi takeaway. The matte natural finish reads more premium than the laminated white cardboard incumbent, and the clamshell composts as a single stream.
Lunch boxes & cloud-kitchen meals
Cloud-kitchen brands running lunch-box style meals (chicken-rice, biryani-with-sides, Asian-style lunch sets) use the rectangular clamshell as the primary delivery container. The hinged lid stays put through 30-minute delivery without separate sealing — a labour saving in high-volume kitchens.

How to use clamshell, 9 x 6 inch
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Open the hinged lid
Clamshells ship pre-folded with the lid attached on the hinge. Open the lid with one hand; the hinge holds without finger-strain even after 100+ open/close cycles.
- 2Plate up the takeaway item
Burger / sandwich / wrap fits the 5×5 and 6×6 sizes; dosa / idli / South-Indian breakfast fits 7×5 and 9×6; lunch combos and biryani fit the rectangular variants.
- 3Close the hinged lid
Snap the lid closed; the hinged geometry stays shut through 30-minute delivery handling without tape or secondary closure. Bagasse stock holds heat for 15–20 minutes without softening.
- 4Compost after use
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal — clamshell + lid + hinge are all one bagasse pulp piece. No tape removal or component separation required.
Storage & shelf life
Store sealed cartons in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, water and strong-smelling chemicals. Bagasse pulp is naturally absorbent — kept sealed it holds its food-contact and structural rating; left open near a damp wall or fragrance source, it'll pick up moisture and ambient odours over time. Sealed cartons of clamshells hold for 24 months. The hinged lid is the most delicate component — store cartons flat (lid-up), not on edge, so the hinge doesn't take a long-term flex set. Once opened, finish within 6 months for best hinge snap-back.
Why clamshells for this?
Bagasse clamshells hold burger / sandwich / dosa takeaway heat for 15–20 minutes without softening — paperboard rivals lose at 7 minutes. The hinged lid stays put through delivery handling without tape, and the whole vessel composts as one piece. No PE / PLA inner film to peel, no auxiliary disposal stream.
Compare all materials →Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Clamshell, 9 x 6 Inch. Don't see yours? Contact us or check the full FAQ.
Why bagasse for clamshells?
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction — an agricultural byproduct that used to be burned in the field. Moulded into tableware, it gives a single-material pulp vessel with built-in water and oil resistance (no PE / PLA inner film), microwave use per manufacturer specification, and a compostable end-of-life (typically about 90 days in commercial composting). Versus polystyrene: composts instead of lingering for centuries. Versus PLA bioplastics: plain plant fibre, no bioplastic. Versus PE-coated paperboard: composts as a single stream — no liner separation pass.
Is it compostable, and how do I dispose of it?
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal. The hinged-lid clamshell is a single bagasse pulp piece — lid, hinge and base all compost together at the same rate. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer. No tape removal or component separation required.
What does a "Pack of 25" pack contain?
Pack of 25 ships 25 pieces of the Clamshell, 9 x 6 Inch (240 × 145 × 70 mm, 974 ml · 30 g/piece · 100% Sugarcane Bagasse). For a typical use pattern in this category, expect 2–3 weeks at home trial usage; 3–4 days at small-café service usage. Step up to the larger pack at checkout for the best per-piece price.
Can I microwave, oven-heat or freeze this?
Microwave: yes — up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W (manufacturer specification). Freezer: fine for short-term storage. Please don't use bagasse in a conventional oven unless the product page says otherwise.
