Typical food applications include:
- Soups and broths
- Noodles and ramen-style dishes
- Chilli and stews
- Curries and rice dishes
- Pasta and macaroni cheese
- Porridge and breakfast dishes
- Mashed potato and vegetable sides
- Cold pasta and grain salads
- Fruit, yoghurt and granola
- Ice cream and chilled desserts
- Rice pudding and warm desserts
The actual serving quantity will depend on the consistency of the food and the amount of space required beneath the lid. Avoid filling to the rim so the compatible lid can be fitted correctly.
What Is Included?
- 500 Dispo brown kraft soup container bases
- 16oz / approximately 473ml capacity per container
- Compatible lids are not included
Order the matching Dispo Paper Soup Lids for 8oz–16oz Containers – Pack of 500 separately.
The lid pack also contains 500 lids, allowing one lid to be matched with each container base in this case.
Compatible Paper Lids Sold Separately
These 16oz kraft soup containers are designed for use with the compatible Dispo paper lids for 8oz–16oz containers. Using the recommended lid helps provide the intended fit around the container rim.
For the best closure:
- Place the container on a stable and level surface
- Avoid overfilling the container
- Leave sufficient space between the food and lid
- Position the lid evenly over the complete rim
- Press around the full edge until attached
- Check the closure before packing the order
- Keep soups and other liquid-rich food upright
- Use an appropriate takeaway bag or delivery carrier
The container-and-lid combination is designed to be leak-resistant during normal takeaway use, but it should not be treated as completely leakproof. Performance depends on filling level, food consistency, correct lid application and transportation conditions.
