16oz Round Bagasse Bowls

1. Product overview of 16oz Round Bagasse Bowls

The Lumapack 16oz Round Bagasse Bowl is a deep-walled, circular food bowl made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across takeaway, delivery, and catering operations. With a top diameter of 155mm, a base diameter of 75mm, and a height of 54mm, the 16oz format provides a practical single-bowl solution for main meals, soups, stews, grain bowls, and cold prepared food.

This format is commonly selected where a self-contained, open-top bowl is required for counter service or packaged meal formats. The deep-walled construction holds contents securely during transit and service, making it suitable for both hot and cold food applications. It is microwavable and freezer safe, supporting meal-prep and delivery-led kitchen operations where the same container travels from production through to end-customer reheating.

The bowl is manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), a renewable plant-based material produced as a by-product of sugarcane processing. It contains no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, and is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. As an industrially compostable product, it offers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic bowls for foodservice operators looking to reduce their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 1,000 bowls (SKU: LP51112).

2. Typical foodservice uses for 16oz Round Bagasse Bowls

The 16oz round bagasse bowl is typically selected where a generous portion of hot or cold food needs to be served or packed securely in a single open-top container.

Common applications include:

• Soups and stews prepared by takeaway restaurants, soup counters, and delivery kitchens, where the deep-walled bowl construction supports moist and semi-liquid food without the need for a separate vessel
• Grain bowls and rice dishes served by casual dining operators, food-to-go counters, and delivery kitchens, where a generous 16oz portion fits the full meal in a single container
• Curry, noodle, and pasta portions for takeaway and delivery operators where a rigid, self-supporting bowl holds sauced dishes during transport better than lighter-weight alternatives
• Cold prepared food including salads, poke bowls, and cold protein dishes served by delis and food-to-go operations requiring a presentable, rigid container for refrigerated display
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for cloud kitchens, meal-prep services, and corporate catering operators that require microwavable, freezer-safe packaging for prepared meals dispatched in volume
• Events and outdoor catering where a robust, self-supporting bowl format is required for food served across counters and service stations without fixed table settings

This format is particularly suited to independent restaurants, cloud kitchens, and catering businesses operating delivery-led menus, where consistent bowl sizing and reliable construction are required across high-volume service periods.

3. Operational benefits of 16oz Round Bagasse Bowls for takeaway and delivery

• Deep-walled construction for moist and sauced dishes: The higher walls of the 16oz bowl support containing food with sauces, dressings, or liquid components during counter service and delivery, reducing spillage risk compared with shallower plate formats. This makes it well suited to soups, stews, curries, and dressed grain bowls.
• Microwavable and freezer safe in one container: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same bowl to be used from freezer storage through to microwave reheating without repacking. This is a consistent operational advantage for meal-prep operations and restaurant delivery services where end customers reheat food at home.
• Rigid construction supports presentation during delivery: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when filled with hot food, including moist dishes and sauced meals, throughout typical delivery workflows. This supports food presentation on arrival compared with lighter-weight alternatives that may flex or collapse under load.
• Industrially compostable material for operators seeking lower-impact packaging: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues and clients requiring compostable packaging can use this product where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.
• Bulk case quantity for high-volume operations: Each case of 1,000 bowls supports continuous supply across busy service periods, reducing reorder frequency for operations with consistent daily volume requirements.
