Product Specifications

Key Features of the 7.5 x 6-Inch Molded Pulp Clamshell

Elongated Rectangular Format

The 7.5 x 6-inch format provides an elongated food-holding area for fish portions, fries, fried seafood, snacks, and side dishes. Actual food fit should be checked using the intended portion dimensions and serving arrangement.

Designed for Fish and Chips Service

The internal layout can accommodate a cooked fish portion with chips or fries when the portion dimensions match the container. It can also be evaluated for fried seafood, chicken tenders, snacks, and other compact meal combinations.

Single-Compartment Interior

The container has one continuous food compartment without internal dividers. This supports flexible arrangement of a main food item and accompanying sides within the same cavity.

One-Piece Attached Lid

The molded base and lid form one connected clamshell. This reduces separate-lid handling and supports faster opening, filling, closing, and customer handover during takeaway operations.

Dual-Lock Closure

Two front locking points help keep the clamshell closed during normal preparation and handling. Closure performance should be tested with the actual food height, portion weight, filling method, and delivery workflow.

Molded Pulp Fiber Construction

The fiber-based structure provides a molded surface and stackable format suitable for restaurants, takeaway operations, distributors, wholesalers, and customized food-packaging programs.

Oil- and Water-Resistant Options

Grease- and moisture-resistant formulations are available for fried and prepared foods. Required performance should be confirmed against the food’s oil content, moisture level, holding time, and serving temperature.

Hot and Cold Food Applications

The clamshell can be configured for hot and cold food uses. Microwave or freezer suitability must be confirmed for the selected material formulation and tested under the intended commercial-use conditions.

PFAS-Free Formulation Option

PFAS-free and standard grease-resistant formulations are available. Buyers should select the appropriate formulation according to food performance, customer requirements, and applicable destination-market rules.

Stackable for Storage and Export Supply

The clamshells nest together for PE-bag packing, carton loading, warehouse storage, wholesale distribution, and international shipment preparation.

Conditional Recycling and Composting

The molded pulp body may be recyclable or compostable where suitable collection and treatment systems accept the product. Actual disposal options depend on formulation, food residue, local infrastructure, and regional requirements.

Why Choose a 7.5 x 6-Inch Molded Pulp Clamshell?

This clamshell offers a practical rectangular layout for businesses packing longer food items or combining a main portion with fries and side items. Its attached lid avoids separate-lid inventory, while the dual-lock design supports routine takeaway handling.

The most suitable model should be selected by testing the actual food length, thickness, weight, lid clearance, closing performance, grease resistance, holding time, and transport conditions.

For Global Foodservice and Wholesale Buyers

The 7.5 x 6-Inch Molded Pulp Clamshell is available for restaurants, takeaway chains, fish and chips shops, seafood businesses, caterers, foodservice distributors, packaging wholesalers, importers, and private-label customers.

Supply arrangements can include nested bulk packing, PE bags, outer export cartons, customized carton markings, pallet requirements, and repeat-order planning. Final arrangements depend on order quantity, destination market, production feasibility, and shipment requirements.

Buyer Decision Guide

Test the Intended Food Portion

Confirm fish length, food thickness, chip quantity, portion weight, sauce-cup placement, lid clearance, and final presentation using physical samples before placing a bulk order.

Evaluate Closure Performance

Test both locking points after the container is filled. Overfilling or unsuitable food placement may prevent the lid from closing correctly.

Confirm the Required Formulation

Select the grease-resistant or PFAS-free formulation according to the food application, holding time, customer specification, and destination-market requirements.

Review Temperature-Use Conditions

If microwave heating, chilled storage, or freezer use is required, confirm the approved conditions for the final formulation and perform application-specific testing.

Confirm Color and Branding

Natural and white options may create different presentation effects. Logo molding, labels, sleeves, barcodes, bag identification, and carton markings should be reviewed against the selected product structure.

Check Packing and Storage

Confirm bag quantity, carton quantity, carton dimensions, pallet requirements, and storage conditions. Molded pulp products should be kept in a clean, dry, and ventilated environment.

PE Bag and Outer Carton Export Packing

The clamshells are nested into stacks, packed at 50 pieces per PE bag, and loaded at 500 pieces per outer carton. This arrangement supports storage, warehouse handling, container loading, distribution, and international shipment.

Carton dimensions, carton markings, palletizing, labeling, shipping marks, and special packing requirements should be confirmed before production.

Common Mistakes When Buying Molded Pulp Clamshells

• Ordering without food-fit testing: Nominal external size does not confirm that every fish portion or meal arrangement will fit.
• Assuming all similarly sized clamshells are identical: Internal depth, lid profile, lock position, rim design, and usable capacity can vary.
• Ignoring lid clearance: Excess food height may prevent the two locking points from engaging correctly.
• Not testing grease resistance: Fried foods vary in oil content, temperature, moisture, and holding time.
• Assuming unrestricted microwave or freezer use: Approved conditions depend on the final formulation and application testing.
• Not confirming PFAS requirements: Formulation requirements may differ by customer and destination market.
• Using unverified environmental claims: Recycling and composting depend on formulation and local treatment infrastructure.
• Overlooking branding compatibility: Molded logos, labels, sleeves, and barcodes must suit the selected structure.
• Ignoring storage conditions: Moisture and excessive compression may affect appearance, nesting, and handling.
• Not confirming packing details: Bag quantity, carton quantity, carton dimensions, markings, and pallet arrangements should be documented before production.
