Whether you are packing a family meal, running a food truck, or handling takeout orders, we offer two premium disposable options: Eco-Friendly Sugarcane (Bagasse) and Durable Polypropylene (PP) .

Both options are crafted with a 1 mm thickness for reliable strength, and are available in a variety of sizes to suit your specific needs.
