Rectangular Kraft Bowl Base: The Space-Saving Delivery Essential, Microwaveable and Freezer safe.
Engineered for Stability, Stacking, and Premium Presentation
While round bowls are a classic, the Rectangular Kraft Bowl Base is the choice for operators who prioritise logistics and delivery efficiency. The rectangular footprint is designed to sit flush against the sides of standard delivery bags, preventing sliding and tilting that can cause messy spills. These bowls provide a modern, high-end "bento-style" presentation that is perfect for premium pasta dishes, chilled salads, and saucy stir-fries. It's microwaveable and freezer safe.
At Fresh Pack Solutions, we offer these bases in three versatile sizes, allowing you to maintain a consistent, organised aesthetic across your entire menu while maximising every inch of your transport space.

Thermal Performance & Delivery Logistics
-
Heat Retention: The thick Kraft walls act as a natural insulator. When paired with a secure lid, these bowls maintain a food-safe temperature of 60°C+ for approximately 25–30 minutes, providing a reliable window for urban delivery routes.
-
Superior Stacking Integrity: Unlike round bowls, the rectangular flat-top design provides a more stable stacking surface. These bowls can be safely stacked up to 4 units high inside a delivery bag without the bottom unit bowing or losing its shape.
-
Moisture Barrier: The internal PE coating ensures that oils and dressings do not soak into the Kraft board, keeping the exterior dry and professional-looking for the duration of the customer's journey.
Compliance & Structural Reliability
-
Soak-Proof Protection: Engineered to handle high-moisture foods, from creamy risottos to vinaigrette-heavy salads, without seepage or structural softening.
-
Professional Aesthetic: The natural Kraft finish provides an artisanal, eco-friendly feel that resonates with modern consumers who value sustainable packaging.
Recommended Pairings for Your Service
-
Secure the Seal: These are sold as bases only. To ensure a leak-proof delivery.
-
Dressings on the Side: Keep your salads fresh and crisp with our 2-oz sauce cups for vinaigrettes, which fit neatly into the rectangular profile.

Transport Efficiently: These bowls are designed to sit perfectly at the base of our Paper Carrier Bags, utilizing the bag's footprint more efficiently than round alternatives.
