PakMax Sugarcane 4 Compartment Food Container FC-41-S Carton of 300

The PakMax FC-41-S is a small four-compartment food container made from sugarcane bagasse fibre, 222 x 192 mm across the top and 41 mm deep, supplied in a carton of 300. It is compostable under commercial conditions, oil and moisture resistant and takes the FC-S-LID.

Why operators choose the FC-41-S

• Made from sugarcane bagasse - the fibre left after sugar is extracted, so the raw material is a by-product rather than a crop grown for packaging - the supplier states this explicitly for this product
• Compostable under commercial conditions - the qualifier matters and we are keeping it. Commercially compostable is not the same as home compostable, and it only works if commercial composting is actually available to you or your customers
• Four compartments, 222 x 192 mm overall - a main plus three separated sides or condiments in the same footprint as the three-compartment FC-31-S - the divisions are smaller, not the tray
• 300 per carton - recorded explicitly by the supplier, so cost per meal is calculable
• Takes the FC-S-LID - the same lid fits this container and the three-compartment FC-31-S, so you carry one lid SKU across both trays. It is sold separately
• Oil and moisture resistant - naturally, without a plastic lining - which is what allows it to stay compostable
• FSC certified - recorded against this product by the supplier
• Lightweight and stackable - storage space in a busy kitchen is finite and disposables consume a lot of it

Installation & delivery

Nothing to install - this is a single-use disposable supplied as a carton of 300. The carton measures 520 x 290 x 400 mm with a gross weight of 10.4 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 FC-41-S and the FC-31-S?

The compartment count. This one has four and the FC-31-S has three. Every other figure the supplier records is effectively identical - both are 222 x 192 mm across the top, both 41 mm deep, both 300 per carton at 10.4 kg gross, and the cartons differ by 5 mm in width alone (520 against 525). The same FC-S-LID fits both. Choose on how you want the meal divided rather than on size - a fourth compartment means four smaller sections, not a bigger tray.

Q: Which lid fits this container?

The FC-S-LID, sold separately and listed in our PakMax range. It fits both this four-compartment container and the three-compartment FC-31-S, and it is also supplied 300 to a carton, so one carton of each pairs up exactly.

Q: Is it compostable or recyclable?

The supplier describes this container as compostable under commercial conditions, and that is what we have published. Note it is a different claim from the one on the PakMax sugarcane clamshells in the same range, which the supplier describes as recyclable. Commercial composting and recycling are different waste streams, so we have kept each product's own wording rather than harmonising them. Commercially compostable also is not the same as home compostable - check what your venue and your customers actually have access to 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: Are the recorded dimensions the item or the carton?

The carton. The Width, Depth and Height recorded against this product match the carton size stated in the supplier description exactly, which is how we can say it with certainty rather than assuming it. The item's own size is published separately in the specifications above. Use the carton figures for storage and freight planning, not for portion planning.

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.
