Kraft Round Bowls 500ml

1. Product Overview of Kraft Round Bowls 500ml

The Lumapack 500ml kraft round bowl is a compact paper food bowl designed for professional foodservice use, including takeaway, delivery, and catering operations. With a 500ml capacity, it is suited to serving side portions, snack-sized dishes, and lighter meal formats in a single container, supporting both hot and cold food applications under standard foodservice conditions.

This size is commonly used where controlled portion presentation, ingredient separation, and efficient packing are required. Compared with larger paper bowls, the 500ml format provides a defined serving size for rice sides, salad portions, dips, and accompaniments, helping maintain presentation during service and typical takeaway and delivery workflows.

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

Compatible lids and compartment inserts are available separately.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for Kraft Round Bowls 500ml

The 500ml kraft round bowl is typically selected where a controlled portion or side dish needs to be packed in a single container for takeaway, delivery, or off-site consumption.

Common applications include:

• Side dishes and accompaniments prepared by takeaway restaurants and delivery kitchens, where sauces, rice sides, or salads are served alongside a main dish in a separate container
• Snack and starter portions offered by quick-service restaurants and catering operators, particularly where portion size is smaller than a standard lunch format
• Dips, sauces, and condiment bowls used by cafés, food-to-go counters, and catering providers that require a compact, self-contained serving
• Small salads and cold bowls used in deli and food-to-go operations where controlled side portions are required alongside a main
• Tasting and sample portions used at pop-up events, food markets, and catering operations where multiple smaller servings are distributed

This capacity is particularly suited to multi-site restaurant groups, cloud kitchens, and catering businesses operating delivery-led menus, where portion size for sides and accompaniments must remain consistent across locations and service periods.

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

• Supports separate side and accompaniment packing: The 500ml capacity is designed for side dishes and accompaniments that operators prefer to present in a dedicated container rather than packing alongside a main course. This supports clearer portion separation and reduces mixing of components during transit.
• Clear portion logic for smaller, fixed dish formats: Using a defined, compact bowl size provides a consistent reference point when portioning sides or snacks. This supports uniform serving sizes across shifts and locations, particularly for delivery-led menus where individual components are pre-portioned at the point of menu design.
• Compatible with 150mm lids and compartment inserts: The 500ml bowl is compatible with PP and PET lids at 150mm, as well as 2-compartment and 3-compartment inserts at 150mm. This provides flexibility to adapt the same bowl for ingredient separation, covered delivery, or open presentation depending on the dish.
• Stackable for efficient kitchen storage: The bowl design supports stacking in commercial kitchen environments, helping reduce bench space usage and simplify stock management during busy service periods.
