Cardboard Takeaway Bowls Australia

Our cardboard bowls and matching lids are an excellent solution for takeaway meals and home delivery. They’re available in a wide range of sizes and are made from high-quality, lined brown kraft board to keep them perfectly watertight. This makes the our kraft paper bowl range your go-to packaging for curries, salads with dressing, soups and all manner of other foods with sauces. Both paper lids with offset venting holes and PP lids are available in the range.

Strong, leak-resistant and better for the planet

Our paper takeaway bowls are a practical choice for businesses looking to move away from styrofoam and plastic. The food-grade PE lining keeps liquids, oils and sauces contained throughout packaging and delivery, so the bowl holds its shape and stays intact. They work equally well with hot and cold foods and are microwave-warmable, which is a bonus for customers who want to reheat their order at home.

Choosing the right lid

We offer two lid options for our cardboard bowl range. Choose from compostable paper lids made from unbleached PLA-coated kraft paper or clear lids made from thick PET plastic with a pull tab for easy removal. Both fit the 500mL, 750mL and 1000mL bowl bases, and a matching PET lid is also available for the 1300mL base.

One in three Australians prefers eco-friendly packaging

The shift towards eco-friendly packaging in Australia's food industry is no longer just a trend; it's becoming an expectation. Research from Mintel found that a third of urban Australians actively prefer to buy products sold in eco-friendly packaging. Meanwhile, data from the Uber Newsroom shows that almost a third of Australian restaurant businesses plan to switch to more sustainable packaging, with biodegradable and plant-based options leading the way.

For food businesses, the case is straightforward. Customers notice what their food arrives in, and packaging choices increasingly reflect on the brand behind them. Switching to paper takeaway bowls is a practical, low-cost way to meet that expectation without changing how you operate.

FAQs

Are cardboard takeaway bowls safe for food?

Yes, our cardboard takeaway bowls are fully food-safe. The interior of each bowl is lined with a food-grade PE coating that creates a protective barrier between the kraft board and your food. This means no materials from the cardboard itself come into direct contact with what you’re serving, keeping everything hygienic and safe for both hot and cold foods.

Are cardboard takeaway bowls microwave safe?

Our cardboard bowls are microwave-warmable, making them a convenient option for home delivery meals that need reheating. That said, it’s always worth checking the individual product listing for specific guidance. As a general rule, avoid microwaving for extended periods or at very high temperatures.

Are paper takeaway bowls leakproof?

Our paper takeaway bowls are designed to be watertight thanks to their food-grade PE lining, which prevents liquids, oils and sauces from seeping through the board. The matching paper lids also feature offset venting holes, where the openings on the top and underside don’t align, further reducing the risk of spills during transit. While no packaging is completely immune to leaks under all conditions, these bowls perform reliably for soups, curries, salads with dressing and other wet foods.
