6" Compostable Burger Boxes — Hinged Bagasse Clamshells
6" Compostable Burger Boxes — Hinged Bagasse Clamshells
The Burger Box That Arrives Intact
A burger has about twelve minutes before the bun goes soft. These hinged clamshells buy you every one of them — deep enough that the box closes over a double stack without crushing it, and vented enough that steam escapes instead of soaking the bottom bun.
Molded from sugarcane fiber with a locking front tab, so the lid stays shut in a delivery bag on a bumpy road. At 5.98″ square with nearly 3″ of closed height, it fits a burger and a handful of fries, a chicken sandwich, tacos, or a slice of cake without anything sliding around.
Built for the Delivery Bag
- Locking front tab — snaps closed and stays closed through transport. No rubber bands, no tape.
- 2.95″ closed height — clears a double patty with the lid still shut. No compression, no squashed build.
- Grease resistant — handles a dripping burger without softening, seeping, or staining through.
- Integrated hinge — one piece, no separate lid to match, mismatch, or run out of.
- Stacks when full — flat top panel supports a second box, so orders stack in the bag without crushing.
- Commercially compostable — sugarcane fiber throughout. No plastic window, no lining to separate.

What Fits Inside
A single or double burger with fries alongside. A chicken sandwich. Two or three street tacos. A grilled cheese with a pickle spear. A slice of cake or a brownie. Wings with a dipping cup. If it's a handheld item plus a side, this is the size.
Why Hinged Beats Tray-and-Lid
One piece instead of two means half the SKUs to track, no risk of running out of lids mid-shift, and no mismatched pairs at the pass. It also closes faster — meaningful when you're plating forty orders in a lunch rush. If you're currently buying trays and lids separately for handheld items, this is the swap that saves both money and time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a double burger fit with the lid closed?
Yes. Closed height is 2.95″, which clears a standard double stack. A tall specialty build with multiple patties and thick brioche may need the 8″ clamshell instead.
Does the bun go soggy inside?
Far less than in plastic or foam. Sugarcane fiber is naturally breathable, so steam escapes rather than condensing on the lid and dripping back down.
Will grease soak through the bottom?
No. The fiber is oil and water resistant and holds up to a full burger without softening or staining through.
Does the lid stay shut in a delivery bag?
Yes. The front tab locks into the base. It won't pop open when carried at an angle or stacked under another order.
Can customers reheat food in the box?
Yes, up to 3 minutes in the microwave with the lid open. Not oven or air-fryer safe.
Do they stack in storage?
Yes. Empty boxes nest tightly, so 500 units take up far less shelf than foam equivalents.
