Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml

1. Product Overview — Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml

The Lumapack Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml are paper-based food bowls designed for professional foodservice use across takeaway, delivery, and catering operations. With a 500ml capacity and a rectangular footprint, they are well suited for side dishes, smaller portions, and food-to-go applications where a compact, structured container is preferred over a standard round bowl format.

The rectangular shape supports efficient tray packing and bag assembly, making it a practical choice for operators running high-volume delivery services or catering setups where space and presentation consistency matter. The format works well for cold and dry food applications, and is suitable for semi-liquid dishes under standard foodservice conditions.

Each bowl is manufactured from responsibly sourced kraft paperboard with a PE inner lining for moisture and grease resistance. The bowl is suitable for direct food contact and is designed to maintain structural integrity during typical packing, stacking, and delivery workflows used in commercial kitchens.

Compatible lids — PP Rectangular Lids 173mm and PET Rectangular Lids 173mm — are available separately.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml

The 500ml rectangular format is typically selected where a compact, portion-controlled container is needed for sides, lighter meals, or food components served alongside a main dish. The structured shape makes it easy to present food neatly and supports consistent serving sizes across service periods.

Common applications include:

• Side dishes and accompaniments prepared by takeaway restaurants, quick-service kitchens, and delivery operations, where a separate container is used for rice, slaw, fries, or salad components served alongside a main
• Light lunch portions offered by cafés, delis, and food-to-go counters where a smaller, single-serve format suits the portion size and price point
• Grain and protein bowls used in corporate catering and meal-prep operations, particularly where standard portion sizing applies across multiple orders
• Cold salads and deli preparations presented in food-to-go displays and grab-and-go counters, where the rectangular footprint supports neat shelf presentation
• Dry and semi-liquid snack portions prepared for street food, market stalls, and event catering, where a sturdy paper bowl handles typical foodservice conditions without softening

The 500ml format is particularly suited to operators designing structured meal formats — such as main plus side combinations — where different bowl sizes are used in parallel to support portion logic and packaging consistency across multiple SKUs.

3. Operational Benefits of Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml for Takeaway and Delivery

• Rectangular shape supports efficient bag and tray packing: The flat edges of the rectangular footprint allow bowls to sit flush against other containers in delivery bags and tray assemblies. This reduces movement during transit, helps maintain food presentation on arrival, and can make packing workflows faster compared with round formats that leave unused space between containers.
• Consistent portion sizing for side and component dishes: Using a defined 500ml container provides a clear, repeatable reference point for portioning side dishes and lighter meal components. This supports consistency across shifts and locations without requiring additional measurement steps during service.
• Suitable for hot and cold food under standard foodservice conditions: The kraft paperboard construction and PE inner lining support both hot and cold food applications, making the bowl versatile across service types without requiring separate containers for different temperature ranges.
• Sturdy paper construction maintains shape during service: The bowl is designed to hold its form when filled with typical foodservice portions, including semi-liquid dishes, sauced sides, and grain-based foods. This supports reliable handling during packing, stacking, and delivery workflows.
• Compatible with standard 173mm rectangular lids: The bowl works with both PP and PET Rectangular Lids 173mm, which are available separately. Lid compatibility supports secure sealing for takeaway and delivery use, reducing spillage risk during transit.

5. What Sets These Kraft Rectangular Bowls 500ml from Lumapack Apart

Rectangular paper bowls are a less standardised format than round bowls in the UK foodservice market. Lumapack's 500ml kraft rectangular bowl offers a well-considered specification for operators who need a compact, structured container that performs reliably across hot and cold applications.

Sturdy paper construction for everyday foodservice use

The bowl is built to handle the demands of commercial kitchen environments — packing, stacking, and delivery workflows included. The kraft paperboard and PE lining combination provides moisture resistance and shape retention during service, reducing the risk of softening or deformation when used with typical sauced or semi-liquid food portions.

Rectangular format for structured packing

The rectangular footprint is particularly useful for operators assembling multi-component orders. Flat edges allow for more efficient use of bag and tray space compared with round containers, supporting better organisation and presentation during delivery.

Competitive pricing with a full range of compatible lids

Lumapack positions the 500ml kraft rectangular bowl competitively against comparable products in the UK foodservice packaging market. Volume discounts are available for regular ordering requirements.
