Project preparation

Paperboard salad containers and bowls — choosing the material and capacity
Paperboard salad containers and bowls are designed for professional serving and takeaway sales of fresh and prepared foods. Custom capacities and personalised printing are available. Select the kraft-based board and lid system for your food and sales setting.
Brown, white or black kraft-based board?
Brown kraft-based board offers a natural appearance and strong construction for cold or warm dishes, subject to the selected coating and temperature rating. White board provides a clean, premium appearance that highlights the food’s colours. Black board offers a contemporary, premium look, particularly for cold and room-temperature foods.
Dimensions and construction
Salad bowls are available in capacities from 500 to 1,300 ml, with a round paperboard construction and strong base. Stackable formats simplify storage and logistics. Compatible rims and lids support secure transport, while the construction suits manual and fast-paced filling. An internal barrier coating provides moisture and grease resistance and helps the bowl retain its shape.
Lids and closure
Clear PET or rPET lids provide visibility in display cabinets and a secure fit for takeaway and delivery. Confirm the selected lid’s temperature suitability and leak resistance for the contents and transport conditions.
Branded salad containers and bowls
Flexographic printing in up to 8 colours and Pantone references support logo and brand designs, while CMYK printing suits detailed artwork. External printing and, where the construction and food-contact requirements permit, internal printing can create a coordinated brand presentation.
Applications
Salads and poke bowls: attractive packaging that supports food presentation.
Deli foods and prepared meals: materials selected to protect product quality and freshness.
Display cabinets and takeaway: clear lids show the product before opening.
Catering and events: practical packaging for efficient, high-volume serving.
