PakMax 8 Inch 3 Compartment Sugarcane Clamshell CS-883 Carton of 200

The PakMax CS-883 is an 8 inch hinged sugarcane clamshell with three compartments, 220 x 200 mm across the top, supplied in a carton of 200. The divided base keeps a main and two sides apart inside a closed container, and it is recyclable, oil and moisture resistant and finished in natural off-white.

Why operators choose the CS-883

• Three compartments inside a hinged lid - a divided meal that still closes as one container - the sides do not run into the main in a delivery bag, and there is no second lid to order
• 220 x 200 mm across the top - the recorded unit size, identical to the undivided CS-88
• 200 per carton - the same carton quantity as the CS-88, and the smallest of the four PakMax clamshells we carry
• Recyclable - the supplier's own wording for this product - recyclable rather than compostable, which is a different waste stream from the sugarcane food containers in the same range
• FSC certified - recorded against this product by the supplier
• Natural off-white finish - the recorded colour - a neutral background that suits most food
• Hinged clamshell lid - the lid is part of the container, so there is no second SKU to order, nothing to match up at the pass and nothing to run out of separately
• Oil and moisture resistant - the supplier's stated resistance - it is what keeps a saucy or greasy meal from softening the base before it reaches the customer
• Lightweight and stackable - disposables consume a lot of storage space, and stacking shape is what decides how much

Installation & delivery

Nothing to install - this is a single-use disposable supplied as a carton of 200. The carton measures 450 x 290 x 210 mm with a gross weight of 8.1 kg. Freight on a light, bulky carton like this is calculated on its cubic volume rather than its gross weight, so the shipping weight shown at checkout is the higher of the two. Store flat and dry.

Warranty terms vary by product - see our warranty information page for full details.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the difference between the CS-883 and the CS-88?

The compartments, and nothing else that is recorded. The CS-883 has three and the CS-88 is a single undivided compartment. Every other figure the supplier records for the two is identical - the same 220 x 200 mm top, the same 44/75 mm height, the same 200 per carton, the same 450 x 290 x 210 mm carton at 8.1 kg gross, and the same list price. That is plausible for a moulded divider that does not change the outside of the box, and the supplier's own photographs of the two do show the difference, but we are noting it because two products agreeing on every number is worth knowing about.

Q: Why does this listing have fewer photographs than the others?

Because one of the supplier's three images for this SKU shows a different product - a two-compartment clamshell, not the three-compartment one you are buying. We check every supplier image against the product before we publish it, and we would rather show you two correct photographs than three where one is wrong. We have asked the supplier for a replacement. The two images shown are the correct three-compartment container.

Q: How many containers come in a carton?

Two hundred. The carton measures 450 x 290 x 210 mm with a gross weight of 8.1 kg.

Q: Is this compostable or recyclable?

The supplier describes this product as recyclable, and that is what we have published. Note that it is a different claim from the one on the PakMax sugarcane food containers in the same range, which the supplier describes as compostable under commercial conditions. Recycling and commercial composting are different waste streams, so we have kept each product's own wording rather than harmonising them. Check which stream your venue and your council actually have before you print an environmental claim of your own.

Q: Is it FSC certified?

The supplier records an FSC certification against this product and we have published it as recorded. FSC certifies forest and plant fibre, so the claim is coherent for a moulded fibre product. We have not seen the certificate ourselves - if you need the certification number for your own compliance or tender documentation, ask our team and we will request it from the supplier.

Q: What warranty applies?

No warranty term is recorded against this SKU by the supplier. That is not unusual for a single-use disposable, and we have not borrowed a term from a sibling product. See our warranty information page, or ask our team if you need something in writing.
