Bagasse Clamshell Boxes & Food Containers from a Qingdao Sugarcane Bagasse Factory
We are BagassePackCo, a Qingdao-based manufacturer of moulded fibre packaging. Our bagasse clamshell boxes are pressed from 100% reclaimed sugarcane bagasse — the fibrous pulp left over after sugar extraction — using a thermo-pressing moulding line that runs 24/7. We ship directly from the factory to foodservice distributors, franchise chains and eco-packaging importers across North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. When you need a dependable bagasse clamshell box manufacturer, you are talking to the people who actually press the fibre, not a trading desk.
Why Buyers Choose Our Bagasse Clamshell Range
Our bagasse clamshell containers are engineered for real takeaway and delivery kitchens, not just to look green on a shelf. Every box is moulded in matched steel tooling to hold dimensional accuracy, then finished with a food-safe grease- and moisture-resistant coating on the inner surface. That means saucy burgers, oil-heavy noodles and steamed vegetables all travel without staining or softening the box before the customer opens the lid.
- Grease & water barrier: food-grade PFAS-free coating keeps oil and liquids contained.
- Microwave & oven safe: reheats up to 100°C / about 212°F without warping.
- Freezer rated: holds from -20°C for cold chain and meal-prep lines.
- Degradable certification: BPI-compliant, EN13432 compostable to industrial standards.
Popular Clamshell Sizes: 1000ml & 9×6
Two blanking sizes carry most of our volume. The bagasse clamshell 1000ml is our best seller for main meals — rice or noodle bases with protein and sides, roughly the footprint of a standard takeaway burger box but taller for stacked filling. The bagasse clamshell 9×6 (about 9″ × 6″) suits sandwiches, wraps, sides and bakery items. Both are available in three-tab and hinged one-piece styles, with or without vent slots.

Customisation: Branding, Size & Tooling
As a vertically integrated plant we are comfortable with custom work. We offer debossed or printed logos, custom carton printing, hole patterns for hot-food steam release, and matching bagasse clamshell packaging, bowls and cutlery to build a coherent eco line. For production volumes we can tool a new clamshell blank to your dimensions — typical lead time for new tooling is 25–40 days, with existing moulds shipping in 15–20 days after deposit.
MOQ, Mixing & Full-Container Loading
Our standard MOQ is 10,000 pieces per size. Because everything ships from one campus, you can mix products in one container — clamshells with trays, bowls and cups — and pay a single freight rate. We quote both FOB Qingdao and CIF to the destination port of your choice. A 20ft container typically holds 60–70 cartons of clamshells; we will help you plan the pallet layout so you hit full container load without wasted space.
Dry-Run These Details Before You Order
Get the specifics in writing before production: exact cartridge sizes, gram weight, coating type, print position, carton master dimensions, and the disposal certification required for your market (BPI, EN13432, OK Compost HOME if you need home compostable claims). We can adjust the coating and grammage between 9 g and 13 g to balance cost against the heaviness of your menu.
