Product Specifications

Ideal for Large Catering & Sharing Portions

The 4.5L capacity makes the Sabert PUL42141600 particularly useful when a standard takeaway bowl is simply too small.

Typical applications include:

• Large mixed salads
• Pasta salads and pasta dishes
• Rice and grain dishes
• Buffet side dishes
• Roasted vegetables
• Sharing portions
• Cold platters
• Large prepared meals
• Corporate catering
• Wedding and event catering
• Hospitality buffets
• Family-size food portions

The wide square shape also gives catering teams a generous presentation area, making it useful where the appearance of a large salad, mixed meal or buffet dish is important.

Matching Clear PET Lid – Sold Separately

For covered presentation, collection and transport, pair the bowl with the compatible:

Sabert PET Lid for 4.5L Catering Bowl PUL512240F025 – Pack of 25 .

The clear lid helps keep the food visible while covering the bowl for suitable cold-food display, collection and transport.

Important: the PET lid should be removed before microwave reheating. Microwave suitability applies to the pulp bowl, not the PET lid.

Plant-Fibre Catering Packaging

Sabert's BePulp range uses fibres of plant origin to create moulded foodservice packaging with a natural appearance. The current Sabert 4.5L BePulp catering bowl is listed by the manufacturer as recyclable and home compostable.

Actual disposal routes depend on local recycling and composting facilities, food contamination and waste-collection rules. Where the separate PET lid is used, separate the lid and bowl before disposal where appropriate.

2250ml, 3500ml & 4500ml Catering Bowl Sizes

Choose the capacity that best matches your food portion and presentation:

• Sabert Square Pulp Catering Bowl 2250ml PUL42110800 – Pack of 50 – useful for large individual portions and smaller sharing dishes.
• Sabert Square Pulp Catering Bowl 3500ml PUL42111200 – Pack of 50 – a larger 3.5L option for catering, buffets and sharing meals.
• Sabert Square Pulp Catering Bowl 4500ml PUL42141600 – Pack of 25 – the largest option in this range for substantial catering and buffet portions.

Why Choose the 4.5L Size?

The 4500ml bowl is particularly useful for caterers that want to present one substantial dish rather than divide the food between several smaller containers. This can work well for sharing salads, buffet sides, large mixed dishes and catered events.

Its wide 35.8cm footprint also provides more surface area for attractive presentation than a narrower, deeper container.

Microwave, Fridge & Freezer Use

The Sabert pulp bowl is suitable for appropriate microwave reheating as well as chilled and freezer storage according to manufacturer guidance.

Always remove any PET lid before microwave reheating. Heating times should be appropriate for the food, portion size and appliance, and care should be taken when removing hot food from the microwave.

The manufacturer's technical information for this pulp format indicates a temperature range of approximately -20°C to +120°C. Do not exceed the manufacturer's stated temperature guidance.

Storage & Handling

Store unused bowls in their original packaging in a clean, dry area away from moisture, contamination and direct sources of heat.

When packing very heavy or moist foods, support the bowl from underneath during handling and transport. Where a lid is required, use the correct matching PUL512240F025 lid and ensure it is fitted correctly before moving the pack.
