    Let \(N\) be a flat \(3\)-torus with an upper bound \(d\) on its diameter and a lower bound \(I_0\) for its injectivity radius and let \(M\) be a possibly disconnected, closed surface embedded in \(N\) of genus \(g\) with constant mean curvature \(H\in[a,b]\), where \(a,b,d,I_0\in(0,\infty)\) with \(a\leq b\) and \(g\in\mathbb N\cup\{0\}\). In this paper, the authors obtain the area estimates: \[ \text{Area}(M)\leq A(g,a,b,d,I_0). \] This result contrasts with the theorem of \textit{M. Traizet} [J. Differ. Geom. 79, No. 2, 243--275 (2008; Zbl 1167.53013)], who proved that every flat \(3\)-torus admits for every positive integer \(g\) with \(g\not=2\), connected closed embedded minimal surfaces of genus \(g\) with arbitrarily large area.
