How to choose burger boxes and clamshells
Three sizes of moulded sugarcane box. Pick by the meal.
Which size?
Bagasse box or plastic container?
- Hot, greasy food: chips, burgers, fried fish
- Microwave and freezer safe
- Chips stay crisper than in plastic
- Plant fibre, no plastic lining
- Cold food on display (hinged)
- Wet curries and soups (lidded)
- Hinged boxes are not for hot food
- Chips steam and go soft
Rule of thumb: fried or grilled food goes in bagasse; saucy food goes in a lidded container.
Serving tips
Leave a small gap at the lid edge for steam so chips stay crisp. Put sauces in a separate pot. Carry the box level in a bag with handles.
- Grease resistant base and lid
- Microwave safe for reheating leftovers
- Freezer safe

Still unsure? Call 01234 867 727 or email info@askpackagingltd.com. We reply the same working day.
What size burger box do I need?
A 6 x 6 inch box (about 15 x 15cm) fits one standard burger. For a burger with fries in one box, use the 9 x 6 inch clamshell.
Are bagasse burger boxes microwave safe?
Yes. All our bagasse burger boxes and clamshells are microwave and freezer safe, so customers can reheat leftovers in the box.
Do bagasse boxes go soggy?
Moulded sugarcane fibre is grease resistant and stays rigid with hot fried food for a normal takeaway journey. Very wet or saucy dishes travel better in a container with a snap-on lid.
Are these compostable takeaway boxes?
They are plastic free: moulded sugarcane fibre with no lining, which is what buyers mean by compostable takeaway boxes. The product page lists the certification for each size. Greasy boxes need a collection that accepts compostable packaging, so check with your waste contractor.
What box do chip shops use for fish and chips?
The 9 x 6 inch clamshell. It holds a full fish and chips portion in one box and closes with a front latch.
Buying burger boxes & clamshells: a short guide
Replacing polystyrene boxes
Expanded polystyrene takeaway boxes have been banned in England since October 2023. Bagasse clamshells are the closest swap: the same hinged shape and latch, and no plastic. Choose the size by the food: 6 x 6 for a burger, 7 x 5 for a snack box, 9 x 6 for a full meal.
Packing tips at the pass
Put the main item on one side and chips on the other, close the latch fully, and carry boxes flat in a bag with handles. For long delivery journeys, pack sauces separately so the base stays dry.
