Kraft Clamshells and Meal Boxes - Compostable Uncoated Burger and Hot Food Packaging

Burger restaurants, chicken outlets, and hot takeaway operations require packaging that secures meals effectively whilst demonstrating environmental responsibility through genuinely sustainable materials. These kraft clamshells and meal boxes deliver recyclable and compostable performance through unlined food-grade paper stock without laminate coatings, providing grease-resistant containment for burgers, hot meals, chicken, fries, meal deals, and pies with accessible kerbside recyclability and home composting pathways.

Sustainable Construction Specifications

Material Construction:

Manufactured from unlined food-grade paper stock without laminate coatings. Coating-free specification eliminates composite material layers that compromise environmental credentials, enabling straightforward recycling and composting without specialist facility requirements.

Environmental Credentials:

Compostable and recyclable specification supports dual end-of-life disposal pathways. Home compostable by consumers or processable at commercial composting facilities. Alternatively, recyclable with standard kerbside paper collection, providing genuinely accessible environmental disposal.

Performance Properties:

Grease and cut resistant paper specification withstands oily foods and maintains structural integrity across burgers, fried chicken, hot meals, and fatty food applications. Material formulation prevents grease breakthrough and cutting damage.

Temperature Performance:

Freezer safe construction supports cold storage applications and frozen meal preparation workflows without material degradation or moisture compromise.

Design Format:

Non-printed kraft finish provides natural eco-aesthetic and universal brand compatibility. Clean unbranded design enables cost-effective sustainable packaging without custom printing investment.

Dimensional Specifications:

Multiple size options available (refer to SKU table). Where two dimensions quoted, measurements indicate top and bottom of tapered packaging design accommodating food geometry and portion requirements.
