Kraft Deli Bowls & Takeaway Salad Boxes

Kraft bowls for fresh food-to-go

Kraft deli bowls give prepared food a clean, natural-looking presentation while keeping portions easy to prepare, put on display and send out with customers. This collection centres on Go-Pak kraft deli bowls in round and rectangular formats, alongside matching clear PET lids for selected bowl formats.

They are widely used by cafés, delis, workplace catering teams, salad bars, farm shops, food halls, meal preparation businesses and takeaway counters serving fresh lunches and lighter meals. From a chilled grab-and-go fridge to a catered meeting lunch or temporary food station, these bowls help keep a varied food-to-go menu consistently presented.

Materials, food types and lid compatibility

The current Go-Pak bowls are made from PE-lined natural kraft board and are designed for both hot and cold foods. This gives you flexibility across chilled salads and cold pasta as well as warmer rice bowls, noodles, vegetables and prepared meals. The brown kraft finish is particularly well suited to menus where the food itself is part of the display.

Clear PET lids are available for selected bowl formats. They help keep food contained during collection, takeaway and light delivery while leaving colourful ingredients visible. That matters for layered dishes in deli displays and grab-and-go fridges, where customers can see leaves, grains, pasta, fruit, vegetables, proteins, dressings and toppings without opening the pack.

Always check the individual product page before ordering for the latest material information, usage guidance and matching lid compatibility. Not every lid fits every bowl format.

Choosing a capacity for your portions

• 500ml bowls: a handy choice for sides, smaller salads, fruit portions, deli snacks, breakfast bowls and lighter meals.
• 750ml bowls: a middle-sized option for standard lunch portions of salad, pasta, noodles and rice dishes.
• 1000ml bowls: gives you more room for larger salads, poke-style bowls, mixed meals, sharing portions and higher-value food-to-go dishes.

Choosing a consistent capacity can make portioning easier for busy kitchen teams and helps you order packaging that matches the meals you regularly prepare.

Round or rectangular deli bowls?

Round kraft bowls

Round bowls work especially well for salads, poke bowls, rice bowls, noodle dishes, breakfast bowls and mixed fresh food. Their shape suits meals with layered ingredients, grains and toppings, particularly when paired with a clear lid for display.

Rectangular kraft deli bowls

Rectangular formats are a strong option for pasta salads, deli meals, prepared lunches, fruit, sides and cold food displays. They can also give more structured food presentation where items are arranged in sections or layers.

Things to check before you buy

• Portion size: select 500ml, 750ml or 1000ml according to the amount of food being served.
• Food type: consider whether you are packing salads, pasta, rice, noodles, fruit, sides or prepared meals.
• Shape: choose round bowls for mixed and layered dishes, or rectangular bowls for more structured presentation.
• Lid fit: confirm that a clear PET lid is available and compatible with your chosen bowl.
• Display and transport: clear lids are especially helpful where customers need to see the contents before buying or where food is being taken away.

For very wet or liquid foods, including soups, broths and sauce-heavy dishes, choose dedicated soup pots with matching lids rather than general deli bowls.
