6 Compartment Inserts 183mm

1. Product Overview of 6 Compartment Inserts 183mm

The Lumapack 6 Compartment Insert 183mm is a clear polypropylene bowl insert designed for use with 183mm round paper bowls, including the Kraft Round Bowls 900ml, 1100ml, and 1300ml. It divides the interior of a single bowl into six individual sections, allowing multiple food components to be presented separately within one container.

This insert is suitable for foodservice operators who need to serve multi-component meals, tasting portions, condiment sets, or ingredient-separated dishes in a single round bowl. It is food contact safe, suitable for both hot and cold food applications, and rated freezer safe, making it a practical accessory across a wide range of kitchen environments and menu formats.

Each case contains 300 inserts. The insert sits directly inside a compatible 183mm round bowl and is used in combination with a matching PP or PET lid for takeaway, delivery, and counter service operations.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for 6 Compartment Inserts 183mm

The 6 Compartment Insert 183mm is suited to any foodservice format where presenting multiple food items in a single bowl is operationally or commercially beneficial. The six-section layout provides a higher degree of separation than two- or three-compartment alternatives, making it particularly relevant for:

• Mezze and sharing platters served at casual dining restaurants, street food operators, and event catering, where a range of dips, sides, and components are presented together in one bowl
• Tasting and sampler formats offered by food-to-go operators and speciality food businesses, where multiple flavours or items are served side by side in a single portion
• Build-your-own and customisable bowls used by grain bowl and salad concepts that allow customers to select multiple toppings or proteins, each held in a separate section
• Condiment and sauce sets packed alongside main dishes, where a separate container has previously been required for each component
• Meal prep and pre-portioned delivery for corporate catering and health-focused menus, where ingredient separation is required for nutritional accuracy or customer preference
• Snack and nibble assortments served at events, catering functions, and hospitality operations where variety presentation in a single container supports service speed

This insert is particularly relevant for operators working with larger bowl formats, where the additional capacity of a 900ml, 1100ml, or 1300ml bowl supports six meaningful portion sections without each section becoming impractically small.

3. Operational Benefits of 6 Compartment Inserts 183mm for Takeaway and Delivery

• Consolidates multi-component dishes into a single container: By separating six individual food items within one bowl, the insert removes the need to pack multiple containers for dishes that include several distinct components. This reduces packaging material per order, simplifies bag assembly, and supports more compact delivery packing.
• Maintains ingredient separation during transit: The rigid polypropylene compartment walls hold their form during handling and delivery, keeping food components separate from point of packing to point of consumption. This is particularly relevant for dishes where mixing ingredients in transit would affect texture, temperature balance, or presentation quality.
• Supports consistent portioning across service periods: Each compartment provides a defined volume for each food component, helping kitchen staff portion consistently across shifts without relying on individual judgement. This is useful for multi-site operators and delivery-led menus where uniformity across locations is a practical requirement.
• Compatible with existing 183mm bowl stock: The insert is designed to fit directly into Lumapack's 183mm round bowl range without additional fittings or modifications. Operators already using Kraft or White Round Bowls in the 900ml, 1100ml, or 1300ml format can add compartment functionality without changing their primary bowl specification.
• Suitable for hot, cold, and frozen food applications: The insert is rated suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer use, supporting operators who need a single insert format across different menu types, including meal prep formats that involve chilled or frozen assembly prior to service or delivery.

4. Materials, Food Safety & Compliance of 6 Compartment Inserts 183mm

Lumapack's 6 Compartment Insert 183mm is manufactured from clear polypropylene (PP), a food-grade plastic material commonly used in foodservice packaging for its structural stability, temperature resistance, and compliance with food contact requirements.

• Colour: Clear
• Top diameter: 183mm

Food contact compliance

• Suitable for direct food contact
• Suitable for hot food and cold food under standard foodservice conditions
• Freezer safe

Performance characteristics

• The rigid PP construction maintains compartment integrity when filled with food, including heavier or sauced items, without deforming during packing or delivery handling

• Compatible with PP and PET 183mm lids, enabling a fully enclosed serving unit when used with the correct bowl and lid combination

5. Bowl and Lid Compatibility for 6 Compartment Inserts 183mm

The 6 Compartment Insert 183mm is designed to fit Lumapack's 183mm round paper bowl range. This lid and insert group covers the following bowl sizes:

The 1300ml bowl format provides the largest per-compartment capacity within this group, and is typically selected where meaningful portion sizes are required across all six sections.
