DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

At DaShan, we believe that the true value in food packaging goes beyond functionality. Our products are designed to deliver eco-friendly solutions that marry premium craftsmanship with sustainable materials. The LB-85 8 inch × 5 inch Clamshell is a perfect example of how modern foodservice packaging can be both practical and environmentally responsible.

As the food industry shifts toward greener alternatives, customers are increasingly drawn to packaging that not only meets the demands of food safety and convenience but also aligns with sustainability. The LB-85 Clamshell is designed to provide businesses with an elegant, efficient, and sustainable packaging option that reflects the values of modern dining.

Materials & Sourcing

The LB-85 8 inch × 5 inch Clamshell is made from biodegradable cornstarch, a plant-based alternative to petroleum-based plastics. This material is compostable, reducing the environmental impact that traditional plastics have on our planet. Unlike conventional plastic packaging, cornstarch decomposes naturally without leaving harmful residues, offering a more sustainable option for both businesses and consumers.

Key Features of LB-85 Materials:

• Biodegradable & Compostable – Breaks down naturally in industrial composting conditions.

• Food-Safe & Non-Toxic – Compliant with food safety regulations (FDA, EU).

• Grease and Leak Resistant – Suitable for oily foods without leakage.

• Low Environmental Impact – Produced with a reduced carbon footprint.

At DaShan, we prioritize sustainability in every step of the production process. Our materials are responsibly sourced, and we adhere to strict quality control measures to ensure our products are safe, durable, and eco-friendly.

Structure & Durability

The LB-85 Clamshell is designed for durability while maintaining a lightweight, compact form. Despite its eco-friendly material, this container is strong enough to withstand the rigors of foodservice, making it ideal for a variety of uses.

Key Structural Features:

• Single Compartment – Ideal for sandwiches, salads, or snacks, with enough room for a complete meal without being too bulky.
