Practical 16oz Capacity for Medium Portions
The 473ml capacity provides a useful medium serving size for individual takeaway meals, soups, side dishes and desserts. It offers more room than an 8oz or 12oz container while remaining compact enough for portion-controlled menu items.
Typical menu applications include:
- Soup and broth
- Noodles and ramen-style dishes
- Chilli and stews
- Curries and rice dishes
- Pasta and macaroni cheese
- Mashed potato and hot side dishes
- Porridge and breakfast dishes
- Fruit, yoghurt and granola
- Ice cream and chilled desserts
- Rice pudding and warm desserts
The practical serving quantity will depend on the consistency of the food and the amount of space required beneath the lid. Avoid overfilling so the compatible lid can attach correctly.
Ripple-Wall Design with a Premium Black Finish
The black ripple exterior gives the container a distinctive and professional appearance that suits modern takeaway and foodservice brands. It helps create a consistent presentation for soups, noodles, curries, desserts and other prepared dishes.
The textured outer wall also provides an improved gripping surface compared with a completely smooth paper container. This can assist staff when filling and packing orders and give customers a firmer hold during handling.
Care should still be taken when serving very hot contents. The temperature felt through the container will depend on the filling temperature, food type and length of handling time.
Suitable for Takeaways, Cafés and Caterers
These Go-Pak black ripple soup container bases are suitable for a wide range of professional foodservice environments, including:
- Soup and sandwich shops
- Cafés and coffee shops
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Food trucks and market stalls
- Event and contract caterers
- Delicatessens
- School and workplace canteens
- Dessert shops
- Meal-preparation businesses
- Delivery and collection services
The bulk pack of 500 helps businesses maintain stock during busy service periods and provides a consistent packaging style across takeaway orders.
What Is Included?
- 500 Go-Pak black ripple soup container bases

Compatible Go-Pak Lids Sold Separately
These 16oz containers are designed for use with the compatible Go-Pak white paper lids for 16oz and 19oz ripple soup cups. Using the recommended lid is important for achieving the intended fit.
Before handing an order to a customer or placing it in a delivery bag:
- Leave sufficient space above the food for the lid
- Position the lid evenly over the container rim
- Press around the entire edge to attach it securely
- Check that no section of the rim has been missed
- Keep the closed container upright during handling
Correct lid fitting helps reduce the risk of spills, but liquid-rich dishes should always be transported upright in an appropriate delivery carrier.
