Half Insert Trays 170mm

The Lumapack Half Insert Tray 170mm is a polypropylene (PP) divider insert designed to fit inside Kraft and White Round Bowls 1300ml. It divides a large round bowl into two separate compartments, keeping different food components apart within a single container. Suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer storage, the insert supports portion presentation and operational consistency across takeaway, delivery, and catering formats.

Compatible lids are available separately. Each case contains 300 inserts.

Typical foodservice uses for Half Insert Trays 170mm

The Half Insert Tray 170mm is selected where a large single bowl needs to serve two distinct food components without mixing. It is designed to work with the 1300ml round bowl format, which is commonly used for full main meal portions in delivery-led and catering operations.

Common applications include:

• Rice dishes with separate sauce or side — where operators want to keep a protein or curry component separate from rice until the customer opens the bowl
• Grain bowls with divided toppings — used by café and corporate catering operators serving grain bases with protein, salad, or sauce components that benefit from separation during transit
• Meal prep and batch-cooked menus — where consistent two-compartment presentation supports standardised plating across multiple locations or shifts
• Mixed hot and cold components — such as a warm main alongside a cold garnish or dressing, where cross-contamination of temperatures or textures needs to be avoided
• Deli and food-to-go counters — where full-portion bowls are built to order and visual separation adds to the presentation quality of the finished dish

The insert is particularly suited to multi-site restaurant groups, cloud kitchens, and meal prep delivery operators who use the 1300ml round bowl as a standard container and require a consistent divided format across their menu.

Operational benefits of Half Insert Trays 170mm for takeaway and delivery

• Maintains ingredient separation during transit: The tray divides the bowl interior into two compartments, keeping food components apart from packing through to delivery. This reduces mixing of sauces, textures, and temperatures during handling and transport, helping maintain the intended presentation when the customer opens the container.
• Supports single-container packing for divided meals: Using an insert within a 1300ml bowl removes the need to use two separate containers for a meal with distinct components. This simplifies packing workflows, reduces packaging cost per serve, and decreases overall packaging volume per order.
• Consistent portion layout across locations and shifts: The fixed half-division format provides a standardised reference point for plating divided meals. This supports portion consistency across kitchen teams and sites, which is particularly relevant for delivery-led brands operating across multiple locations with fixed menu formats.
• Suitable for hot, cold, and frozen applications: The polypropylene construction is suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer storage, making the insert compatible with a range of menu types and preparation workflows, including meals plated ahead of service or stored before dispatch.

Compatibility and fit for Half Insert Trays 170mm

The Half Insert Tray 170mm is designed specifically to fit Lumapack Round Bowls 1300ml — both Kraft and White finish. It is not compatible with smaller bowl sizes in the round bowl range, which use 150mm inserts and lids.

When using the insert with the 1300ml round bowl, PP Lids 183mm or PET Lids 183mm should be used to close and seal the container. The lid sits over both the bowl and the insert to secure the full contents during service and transit.

For operators selecting inserts for 500ml, 750ml, or 1000ml round bowls, the 2 Compartment Inserts 150mm and 3 Compartment Inserts 150mm are the correct size for those formats.

What sets this Half Insert Tray 170mm from Lumapack apart

The Half Insert Tray 170mm is sold as a complementary component within the Lumapack round bowl system, designed to integrate directly with the 1300ml bowl format without requiring sourcing from separate suppliers.

System compatibility

The insert is matched to the 1300ml bowl diameter, meaning operators can use a single supplier for the bowl, insert, and lid in one consistent format. This reduces compatibility risk and simplifies reordering across a packaging system rather than managing individual components from multiple sources.

Broad temperature range

The PP construction supports hot, cold, and frozen food applications. This makes the insert usable across different menu formats and preparation workflows within a single kitchen operation, without requiring separate insert products for different temperature applications.

Clear finish for visibility

The transparent construction allows packing staff to see the contents of both compartments during assembly, which supports quality checking during the packing stage and helps reduce errors in high-volume or fast-paced kitchen environments.

Competitive pricing

Lumapack prices the Half Insert Tray 170mm competitively as part of the wider round bowl accessory range. Volume pricing is available for regular ordering requirements.
