What is a clamshell container?

A clamshell is a takeaway container with a lid hinged to the base, so it folds shut in one piece with no separate lid to match. It is used for burgers, hot meals, salads and pizza slices in takeaway and delivery service.

What is a plant fibre clamshell made from?

Plant fibre containers are moulded from plant-based fibre rather than plastic or foam. The BioPak clamshells in this collection are listed as plant fibre, and appear in both white and natural finishes.

What sizes do BioPak clamshells come in?

The clamshells in this collection are listed in several formats, including a pizza slice shape and a 20 x 22 x 8 cm box. Each product page states its own dimensions, so check them against the portion size you serve.

Do clamshells need a separate lid?

No. A clamshell has its lid hinged to the base, so it ships and stores as one item and closes without a matching lid. That removes a second product line from ordering and a matching step from the packing bench.

How are clamshell containers ordered?

Clamshells are sold in bulk packs with the unit count shown on each product listing. Venues usually order by the size used most for their highest-volume dish, then carry smaller quantities of the other sizes.
