How is it packed and dispatched?
Bagasse containers are nested in stacks and packed in cartons in fixed counts, which protects them from crushing and keeps them hygienic until use. Hinged styles arrive as single pieces, so there are no separate lids to match up. Orders are dispatched from our plant in Thiruvottiyur, Chennai to restaurants, cloud kitchens and caterers anywhere in India. The catalog lead time is 10 days, and the final schedule for your order is confirmed on your quotation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for bagasse food containers?
The minimum order for bagasse food containers is 10,000 units per size and style. Restaurants and cloud kitchens serving daily meals usually move through this quantity steadily. Containers nest and store compactly, so holding stock between orders is easy, and each size is quoted as its own run.
Is bagasse packaging compostable?
Yes, our containers are made from 100% sugarcane bagasse fibre and are home compostable. Bagasse is the fibre left after sugarcane is crushed for juice, so it uses a by-product rather than plastic. Our guide comparing bagasse and plastic containers covers the trade-offs in more detail.
Can bagasse containers hold hot and oily food?
Yes, the containers are oil proof for hot food, rated in our catalog up to 120°C. They suit gravies, fried items and rice dishes, and are also microwave and freezer safe. Test a sample with your own dishes to confirm the fit for your menu before placing a bulk order.
What is the lead time for bagasse containers?
Bagasse food containers have a 10 day lead time in our catalog. The final schedule, including sample approval, is confirmed on your quotation. Planning your next order before stock runs low helps avoid gaps during busy periods.
