Café Takeaway Packaging
Bagasse cups, clamshells and lids for cafés and QSR takeaway. Sized for sandwich + dosa-wrap + brownie + chai/coffee service. Print-friendly surfaces, leakproof rims when paired with matching lids.
Cafés punch above their weight on packaging.
A café's brand is told in three places: the menu board, the staff uniform, and the takeaway box the customer walks out with. The takeaway box is the one the customer keeps holding for the next 30 minutes — and the one their friends see on Instagram. A PE-coated white paper clamshell sends one signal. A bagasse box with "compostable, PFAS-free" printed on the side sends another.
Bagasse is also operationally simpler for cafés than for cloud kitchens — fewer SKUs (most cafés need 5-6 packaging types vs a cloud kitchen's 9-12), simpler reorder cadence (weekly Friday reorder lands Monday morning), and no leakproof complexity because most café menus are dry or semi-dry. The single area to watch is hot beverages: pair the 8 oz tumbler with the 80 mm dome lid for chai or coffee and you're set.
The 5 core SKUs (covers ~85% of café menu)

Frequently asked questions
Which bagasse products fit a café takeaway menu?
The five workhorse SKUs for a typical café takeaway: 8 oz tumbler + 80 mm dome lid (hot beverages, lassi, fresh juice), 8×8 single-compartment clamshell (sandwich, dosa wrap), 7×5 burger clamshell (burger menu), 6×6 clamshell (cookie, brownie, pastry), and the 95 mm dessert spoon for ice cream / dessert pickup.
Can I print my café brand on bagasse packaging?
Yes — bagasse takes water-based ink printing well. For order volumes above 50,000 pieces per SKU we can arrange custom printing through our supplier. Lead time ~15-20 days; mail sales@pulpyware.in with your design + quantity. Standard unprinted SKUs available immediately.
Is bagasse rim-leakproof for hot coffee / chai?
Yes — the 8 oz tumbler paired with the 80 mm dome lid is rated for 4-hour hot-liquid contact without leakage at the rim. For cold drinks (lassi, fresh juice), pair with the 80 mm flat lid for stir-stick access. The lid choice determines the spill behaviour, not the cup.
What's the carton size for typical café reorders?
8 oz tumblers ship 1,000/carton; 8×8 clamshells ship 200/carton; 6×6 clamshells ship 500/carton. For a 200-orders/day café, that's roughly 4–5 cartons of clamshells and 1 carton of tumblers per fortnight — sized for a Friday reorder cadence that lands Monday morning.
