DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

At DaShan, we prioritize innovation and sustainability in all our products. The 8 Inch Clamshell (X081) is a perfect example of our commitment to creating high-quality, environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

The sleek design, featuring a unique curved four-cornered pattern on the lid, not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures that the packaging is both durable and functional.

Each detail in the X081 hinged box reflects DaShan’s dedication to quality, from the smooth finish to the careful use of sustainable materials. We believe in providing foodservice businesses with packaging that offers convenience, looks great, and contributes to a cleaner, greener planet.

Materials & Sourcing

The X081 is made from sugarcane bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing. This material is 100% biodegradable and compostable, providing a plastic-free alternative that aligns with modern sustainability goals. Unlike conventional plastic packaging, sugarcane bagasse decomposes in industrial composting environments, leaving no harmful residue behind.

Sugarcane bagasse is non-toxic and food-safe, complying with both FDA and EU food contact safety regulations. Whether you’re serving hot or cold meals, this material ensures the safety and quality of the food it holds. It’s a renewable material, making it the perfect choice for companies that are working toward a circular economy by using renewable resources.
