Disposable Bowls

Our disposable bowls come in two types. Pick a bagasse bowl when food is eaten where it is served, and a kraft bowl with a lid when it leaves the counter. Bagasse bowls run from 240ml to 950ml in white or brown; kraft bowls come in 750ml and 1000ml with clear lids.

How to choose disposable bowls

Choose by the portion first, then whether it travels.

1

  • White or natural brown
  • No lid
Kraft bowls with lidsFrom 17.3p a bowl

Disposable Bowls questions

Still unsure? Call 01234 867 727 or email info@askpackagingltd.com. We reply the same working day.

Is the stated capacity measured to the brim?

Yes. Plan on filling about 80% of the stated volume for liquids, so a 350ml bowl holds a comfortable 280ml serving of soup.

Are disposable bowls microwave safe?

Bagasse bowls are microwave and freezer safe. Kraft bowls are microwave safe once the plastic lid is removed.

Which bowls are best for takeaway salads and poke?

Kraft bowls with lids. The 750ml size fits a lunch portion with toppings and the 1000ml size fits a large bowl or sharing portion.

Are these eco friendly disposable bowls?

Our bagasse bowls are sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining. Our kraft bowls are paperboard, and their clear lids are plastic, so separate the lid before disposal.

Do you sell disposable bowls with lids?

Yes. Our 750ml and 1000ml kraft bowls come with clear lids. Bagasse bowls are sold without lids.

What are the best disposable soup bowls?

A 350ml (12oz) bagasse bowl is the standard soup portion when soup is served at the table; 240ml suits a starter cup and 710ml or more a soup-and-bread main. If the soup leaves the counter, use a kraft bowl with a lid.

How much do disposable bowls cost?

From 6.0p a bowl for 240ml bagasse bowls in a 500 pack, inc VAT. Kraft bowls with lids start at 17.3p each including the lid.

Buying disposable bowls: a short guide

Bowls by food type

Liquids and sauces: a deeper bowl so food stays below the rim when carried, so go a size up for takeaway soup. Salads and grain bowls: a wide bowl so toppings show, so the 750ml kraft bowl suits. Desserts and sides: 240ml is enough and costs less than half a soup bowl.

Bagasse versus kraft paper bowls

Bagasse bowls are moulded from sugarcane fibre, rigid and plastic free, and ideal for hot food eaten on site. Kraft bowls are paperboard with a lid, built for transport and display in grab-and-go chillers. Many cafés stock both: bagasse for eat-in, kraft for takeaway.
