Product Overview
Built Around the Real Application
Salad packaging needs to protect presentation while handling dressing, chilled ingredients and delivery movement. Bowl capacity, rim series, paperboard stiffness, barrier structure and lid height should be selected together. We start with the real portion, toppings and delivery time, then develop a sample that can be filled and transported before production approval.

Selection Guide
Four Decisions to Confirm
Capacity
Confirm the filled portion and topping height rather than choosing from nominal volume alone.
Lid format
Use visibility, stacking, condensation and material preference to compare clear and paper lids.
Barrier
Dressing, oil, acidity and holding time guide the inner barrier requirement.
Artwork
Coordinate color or product labels across sizes so staff can identify menu items quickly.
Sampling
Verify Before the Main Run
Sampling should use the real salad, dressing and chilled holding period. Checks can include rim consistency, lid engagement, bowl stiffness, print position, stacking and carton protection. Repeat orders then follow the approved bowl and lid series rather than a visually similar substitute.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one lid fit several bowl sizes?
Some bowl series share a common rim diameter. Confirming a shared lid family can simplify restaurant inventory.
Are clear lids suitable for tall toppings?
Lid profile varies by series. Share the finished food height so a suitable closure can be reviewed.
Can the bowls be printed in several menu colors?
Yes. A coordinated color system can distinguish salad, grain bowl and fruit ranges while retaining one brand style.
Can the same bowl hold warm food?
Suitability depends on temperature, barrier and holding time. Warm applications should be tested separately.
What is needed for a quote?
Provide portion size, bowl capacity, lid preference, food type, artwork, quantity, packing needs and destination.
