Pulpcraft’s 3 CP Meal Tray is a sustainable and practical food serving solution designed for businesses that prioritize both functionality and environmental responsibility. Manufactured from premium-quality bagasse, a renewable by-product of sugarcane processing, this meal tray provides an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic and foam food containers while delivering exceptional strength and performance.
As consumer demand for sustainable food packaging continues to grow, bagasse tableware has become a preferred choice across restaurants, cafeterias, educational institutions, hospitals, corporate canteens, catering businesses, and food delivery services. By choosing our 3 Compartment Meal Tray, businesses actively reduce plastic waste and contribute to a more environmentally responsible food service ecosystem.
The intelligently designed three-compartment layout helps separate different food items, preserving flavors, textures, and presentation. It is ideal for serving complete meals that include rice, curries, vegetables, salads, breads, desserts, snacks, and combo meals. The compartments prevent food from mixing during serving and transportation, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Despite weighing only 13 grams, the tray offers remarkable durability and structural integrity. Unlike ordinary paper trays that become weak when exposed to moisture or oil, bagasse naturally resists grease and liquids, allowing the tray to comfortably hold hot, cold, dry, or semi-liquid food items without leaking, bending, or collapsing.
The tray performs exceptionally well in demanding food service environments. Whether serving freshly prepared meals, refrigerated foods, or takeaway orders, it maintains its shape and reliability throughout use. It is both microwave-safe and refrigerator-safe, making it convenient for reheating meals or storing food when required.
With dimensions of 225 mm in length and 180 mm in breadth, the 3 CP Meal Tray provides ample serving space while maintaining a compact and easy-to-handle design. Its clean, professional appearance enhances food presentation and complements modern food service operations focused on sustainability.
For caterers and institutional food providers, the tray offers significant operational advantages. Its lightweight and stackable construction simplifies storage, transportation, and distribution while reducing handling costs. After use, the tray can be disposed of responsibly through composting, helping minimize waste management challenges.
At Pulpcraft, we believe sustainable dining solutions should never compromise on quality. Our 3 CP Meal Tray delivers the perfect combination of durability, convenience, presentation, and environmental responsibility, making it an ideal choice for modern food service businesses.

The Standard Three-Part Plate for a Balanced Meal
Three compartments map directly to how most Indian meals are built: a base of rice or roti, a vegetable, and a dal or curry, each kept in its own well. This is the workhorse format for mid-day meal programmes, hospital food service and corporate canteens that serve a complete, balanced plate at scale. The clear separation means students and patients get portioned servings without items running together, and kitchen staff can plate faster using a fixed left-to-right routine. It is the natural step up from a two-part tray when one side is simply not enough.
Bulk and Institutional Supply for Daily Feeding Programmes
The 3 CP tray is one of our highest-volume institutional lines, supplied to caterers, school meal schemes, NGOs and canteen contractors who plate thousands of meals a day. Cartons are packed for fast counting and predictable stock planning, and the consistent moulding keeps lidding and stacking uniform across every batch. For private-label and export buyers we offer branded packing and pallet-scale orders, with the same three-well geometry maintained run to run so your sealing and tray-loading lines stay calibrated. Reach out for tiered wholesale pricing and lead times on recurring institutional contracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What goes in each of the three compartments?
Typically a staple in the largest well such as rice or roti, a vegetable in the second, and a dal or curry in the third. It is built to serve a complete balanced meal in one tray.
How is the 3 CP tray different from the 2 CP tray?
The 3 CP adds a third well, so you can serve staple, sabzi and dal or curry separately instead of just a main and one side. It suits standard full meals rather than simple combos.
Do the curries and dals stay in their own sections?
Yes. The dividers are raised to hold semi-gravy and dal portions apart from the dry staple, so a roti or rice serving does not go soggy before the meal is eaten.
Is this tray suitable for mid-day meal and canteen programmes?
Very much so. The balanced three-part layout, fast plating and portion control make it a popular choice for school meal schemes, hospital trays and corporate canteens.
Can the packed three-item meal be microwaved?
Yes, the whole plated meal can be reheated in the tray, so canteens and delivery customers can warm staple, vegetable and curry together without re-plating.
Will it seal and stack for catered transport?
It does. The even rim takes lids or film sealing and the trays stack steadily in transport crates, which suits caterers moving full meals across sites.
Can we order 3 CP trays in large institutional quantities?
Yes. It is a core bulk line with wholesale cartons, recurring-contract pricing, and private-label or export packing available on request.
