Bagasse Box Size Guide
Exact dimensions of our HB6, HB9 and HB10 compostable takeaway boxes, what fits in each, and how they are packed.
All three Leafcrest boxes are hinged clamshells moulded from bagasse (sugarcane fibre). They are PFAS-free, grease- and leak-resistant, safe for hot and cold food, and fully compostable. The only real difference is size, so use this guide to match each box to your menu.

How to choose the right size
HB6: compact meals and snacks
The 155 mm square HB6 holds a single burger, a wrap, pastries or a side portion. It is the most compact box and the lightest to store.
HB9: the everyday main-meal box
At 190 × 150 mm, the HB9 suits a standard main course such as rice and curry, pasta, noodles or a salad. If you only stock one size for hot meals, this is usually it.
HB10: large and deep portions
The HB10 is the biggest and deepest box (230 × 160 × 75 mm) and the heaviest at 30 g, so it keeps its shape under roasts, fish and chips, kebabs and mixed grills.
Heavier boxes, sturdier walls
Our boxes use more bagasse than many standard boxes: 21 g (HB6), 22 g (HB9) and 30 g (HB10) per unit. Thicker walls help the box stay rigid with hot, saucy food and survive the journey to your customer.
How our boxes are packed
Each carton holds 250 boxes in 5 sleeves of 50, so you can open one sleeve at a time and keep the rest clean and dry. A carton takes up roughly 0.03 m³ of shelf space and weighs 6.25–8.50 kg, which one person can lift and store easily.
