500ml Rectangular Takeaway Kraft Container Bases for Hot and Cold Food
In stock. Pack and deliver your smaller menu portions cleanly. Our high-quality, cost-effective 500ml kraft rectangular cardboard food container bases keep meals perfectly secure during transit.
With a practical 500ml / 500cc capacity, these rectangular bases serve as excellent packaging solutions. They deliver reliable, daily performance for busy independent takeaways, cafés, restaurants, and caterers.
They support street food vendors, local festival trucks, dark kitchens, and commercial meal networks. This heavy-duty format travels well and keeps your final presentation looking clean for delivery apps, bulk catering lines, and counters. Use them confidently to handle a wide range of food options.
We manufacture these durable bases from strong food-grade kraft paperboard. They offer a simple, natural kraft look that appeals directly to modern food brands. Our leak-resistant construction provides outstanding grease protection, effectively reducing mess from heavy sauces, rich gravies, dressings, and moist meals.
Simply pair them with a compatible lid to create a tight, reliable seal. This structural safety ensures your smaller orders pack neatly into delivery bags without softening. These nested containers stack efficiently together to save vital counter space and storage room in fast-paced kitchens.
Please note that this listing supplies container bases only. We sell matching lids separately in wholesale cases of 300. This setup lets you choose the exact lid material that matches your menu layout.
Use our clear PET lids for cold food display and grab-and-go visibility. Choose our heat-tolerant PP lids for hot food service and delivery transit.
