XH-3G-1 Cornstarch 3 compartment rectangle food container takeout lunch box

Product Features

Environmentally Friendly Material: Made primarily from cornstarch, a natural and renewable resource. This makes the lunch box 100% biodegradable and compostable.

In an appropriate environment, it can break down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass over time, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to traditional plastic lunch boxes. It aligns with the growing trend of sustainable and eco-friendly dining options.

Safe for Food Contact: Since cornstarch is a food-grade material, the container is non-toxic, odorless, and free from harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and heavy metals.

It meets strict food safety standards, ensuring that it won't contaminate the food inside, whether it's hot or cold dishes. This makes it suitable for a wide range of foods, including grains, vegetables, meats, and sauces.

Three-compartment Design: The three-compartment layout is highly practical. It allows for the separation of different types of food, preventing flavors from mixing and maintaining the integrity of each dish.

For example, you can place a main course in one compartment, a side salad in another, and a portion of rice or pasta in the third. This is ideal for balanced meal planning and also convenient for takeout, as customers can easily access and enjoy each component of their meal.

Good Physical Properties: Despite being made from a natural material, the lunch box has decent strength and durability. It can withstand normal handling during transportation and storage without easily breaking or deforming. The compartments are also designed to hold their shape, and the container may have some resistance to moisture and oil, helping to keep the food fresh and the box in good condition.

Rectangular Shape: The rectangular shape offers several advantages. It is easy to stack, which saves space during storage and transportation. Additionally, it provides a relatively flat and stable surface, making it convenient to place on tables or in bags. The shape also allows for efficient use of space within the container, enabling more food to be packed neatly.

Usage Scenarios

Takeout and Delivery: Ideal for restaurants, cafes, and food delivery services. The lunch box's design and functionality ensure that food remains fresh and organized during transit. Its eco-friendly nature can also enhance a business's reputation among environmentally conscious customers.

Office Lunches: Workers can use it to pack their meals for the day. The compartmentalization helps in portion control and keeping different food items separate, making for a more enjoyable lunch experience.

Picnics and Outdoor Activities: When going on picnics, hikes, or other outdoor adventures, this lunch box is a great choice. It's lightweight, disposable (although it's biodegradable, so it's more environmentally friendly than traditional disposables), and can keep food organized and protected.

Storage Precautions

Dry Storage: Cornstarch is highly absorbent, so it's crucial to store the lunch box in a dry environment. Excessive moisture can cause the box to become soft, lose its structural integrity, and potentially develop mold. A storage area with a relative humidity of around 40% to 60% is recommended.

Avoid High Temperatures: High temperatures can accelerate the degradation process of the cornstarch material. Store the lunch boxes in a cool place, preferably at a temperature between 0°C and 30°C. Avoid direct sunlight exposure, as UV rays can also damage the material and cause it to break down prematurely.

Proper Packaging: Keep the lunch boxes in their original packaging or use sealed plastic bags to protect them from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. This will help maintain their quality until they are ready to be used.

Stacking: When stacking the lunch boxes, don't pile them too high. Excessive weight on the lower boxes can cause them to deform. It's advisable to use dividers or limit the stacking height to ensure that the boxes retain their shape and functionality.
