Cloud Kitchen Packaging
Bagasse containers, clamshells and lids in one order. Air-couriered pan-India. The 9 SKUs below drive 90% of typical cloud-kitchen reorder volume — burger boxes, leakproof curry containers, 5-comp meal trays, dip cups.
Why bagasse fits the cloud-kitchen operating model.
Cloud kitchens win or lose on three things: per-order packaging cost, on-time delivery integrity (leakage = a refunded order on Swiggy / Zomato), and brand differentiation in a saturated aggregator feed. Bagasse pays off on all three. The leakproof 500–1000 ml round containers seal tight enough that a 45-minute scooter ride with a curry doesn't cost you a star rating. The 7×5 burger clamshell is sized for a stacked burger + small fries combo and stacks 200 to a carton in your prep area.
The brand-differentiation layer is the one most ops teams under-invest in: customers opening a bagasse box at home see "compostable, no plastic, no PFAS" and form a different impression than they would of a PE-coated paper container. That's compounding marketing — the kind that doesn't cost ad-spend. For HORECA-verified accounts the price gap to D2C list is ~20% with NET-15 invoice terms.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 9 SKUs every cloud kitchen needs?
From our HORECA reorder analysis: 7×5-inch burger clamshell, 8×8-inch clamshell (single + 3-comp), 500 ml leakproof round container, 750 ml rectangular container, 5-compartment B2B heavy-duty meal tray, 2 oz dip cup (for sauces), matching cup lid (80 mm flat), and a paper cutlery set. These 9 cover ~90% of typical Indian cloud-kitchen menu coverage from QSR burgers through biryani take-out to combo meals.
Are bagasse containers leakproof for gravy delivery?
Yes — the leakproof 500 / 750 / 1000 ml round containers are rated for 4-hour standing-water and 1-hour standing-oil contact when paired with the matching bagasse lid. Field leakage rate at 30-60 minute delivery windows is sub-1%. For very thin curries (rasam, sambar), prefer the smaller volume so the liquid doesn't slosh during transit.
Can bagasse containers go in the microwave?
Yes — 3 minutes at 700–1000 W. Remove the lid first (steam build-up degrades the leakproof seal on subsequent reheats). The fibre handles boiling-temp liquids for the duration of a reheat.
What's the HORECA pricing math for cloud kitchens?
Verified HORECA buyers see ~20% off D2C list with NET-15 invoice terms. At 6,000 7×5 burger boxes per month, the 20% gap typically saves ₹3,000–6,000/month depending on SKU mix — enough to fund a quarterly menu test. Apply at /wholesale/; 24-hour admin review, no minimum first order.
When does bagasse NOT make sense for a cloud kitchen?
Ice cream cups (PE-lined paper still wins on freezer stability), very long-hold delivery windows (>90 minutes for hot soup, where ceramic dabba services do better), and items that need to be served hot directly from the fryer with no transfer (where the heat would soften the rim too fast). We'll always tell you when bagasse isn't the right fit — see /our-bagasse-story/ on the anti-greenwashing pledge.
