Disposable Bowls & Plates

The bowl or plate should work with the food, not ask the food to fit a single shape. An Australian takeaway counter serving soup might reach for a lidded paper bowl, while an event serving lighter bites may need paper or pulp plates and trays. A broth, salad and plated snack each need a different depth and presentation. Choose by the menu and the moment the food reaches the customer.

Give soups and salads the right depth

Kraft paper soup bowls and lidded takeaway bowls offer a deeper vessel for appropriate hot or cold dishes. Salad bowl formats create room for ingredients to be seen together, while selected foil bowls offer another material choice. Think about the portion and whether the customer will open the bowl at a table or carry it on to another location.

Put lighter serves on a plate

Paper, straw-pulp and other disposable plate styles give flatter serving surfaces for events and catered meals. Round, square and compartment formats present the same food differently. A divided plate helps keep distinct parts of a meal in their own spaces; a simple flat plate lets a single dish lead. Browse by the way guests will hold and eat the serving.

Bring the service together

Selected paper trays and takeaway boxes appear alongside the bowls and plates for meals that need another shape. A counter serving different dishes can choose a few reliable formats rather than reaching for the same container each time. That small set of well-chosen shapes keeps the pace of service steady without flattening every meal into the same presentation.
