DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

At DaShan, we believe that packaging should not only perform well but also reflect our commitment to the environment. The 9 Inch Clamshell showcases our expertise in crafting high-quality, sustainable food packaging. By using sugarcane bagasse, a renewable and compostable material, we create products that minimize environmental impact without sacrificing performance.

Every detail, from the sleek lid design to the ergonomic clasp, has been carefully engineered to ensure both functionality and aesthetics. The 9 Inch Clamshell represents the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and quality craftsmanship, providing your brand with a packaging solution that is both environmentally responsible and visually appealing.

Materials & Sourcing

The 9 Inch Clamshell is made from sugarcane bagasse, a byproduct of sugar extraction that would otherwise be discarded. By utilizing this renewable material, we offer a compostable, biodegradable packaging solution that is perfect for environmentally conscious foodservice businesses. Bagasse is an ideal material because of its non-toxic, food-safe qualities and its ability to withstand both high and low temperatures, making it suitable for a wide variety of food types, including hot meals, cold snacks, and fried foods.

Our sugarcane bagasse is FDA compliant for food safety and EU-approved for food contact, ensuring that all products meet the highest safety and sustainability standards. This makes the 9 Inch Clamshell a reliable choice for serving food in eco-conscious markets.
