2. Key Features & Benefits

Microwaveable

The LB-93 is microwave-safe, allowing consumers to reheat meals without transferring food to another dish. Its sturdy structure withstands heating without warping, melting, or releasing harmful substances.

Fridge & Freezer Safe

Designed to handle cold storage, this clamshell keeps meals fresh when refrigerated and maintains texture when frozen. It resists brittleness under low temperatures, making it suitable for ready-to-eat meals or meal prep.

Heat Retention

The natural insulating properties of cornstarch material help retain food warmth for longer periods. Customers can enjoy hot meals even after transport or short waiting times.

Leak-Resistant Locking Lid

The built-in locking mechanism prevents accidental spills, making it a reliable solution for sauces, curries, and oily dishes. Restaurants and delivery services can transport meals confidently without leakage.

Food Safety

Manufactured under strict quality standards, the LB-93 is free from BPA, toxins, or harmful chemicals. It complies with international food safety regulations, ensuring consumer health is always protected.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Unlike petroleum-based plastics, cornstarch packaging naturally degrades in composting environments. The LB-93 supports global zero-waste initiatives, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint while meeting customer demand for sustainable products.

Customizable

The LB-93 can be tailored to brand requirements. Options include:

• Logo or brand printing with food-safe inks.

• Custom colors or embossing for unique presentation.

• Compartment adjustments to fit specific meal types.

• Bulk packaging and private labeling services.

3. Design Details

The thoughtful design of the LB-93 enhances both functionality and user experience:

• Three Compartments: Separate sections allow for main dishes, sides, and sauces to remain distinct. This avoids flavor mixing and improves presentation.

• Rounded Corners: Smooth interior corners make scooping food easier and reduce waste.

• Secure Snap Closure: The clamshell lid locks tightly yet can be easily opened by customers with the tabbed design.

• Stackable: Containers nest securely for efficient storage and transport.

• Embossed Base: Provides additional grip and stability, preventing sliding during delivery.

  

4. Applications & Use Cases

The LB-93 is versatile enough to serve across industries and meal types.

• Restaurants & Cafes: Ideal for lunch menus, set meals, and portioned combinations. Customers receive their meals neatly separated and visually appealing.

• Takeout & Delivery: Designed for modern delivery needs, the leak-resistant lid ensures dishes arrive intact. This is particularly important for online food delivery platforms.

• Catering & Events: Perfect for weddings, parties, and corporate events where multiple dishes are served together. The compartments create elegant plating even in disposable packaging.

• Meal Prep Services: Portion control is essential for diet programs, fitness meals, and weekly meal planning. The LB-93’s three compartments help organize proteins, carbs, and vegetables separately.
