How to Choose the Right Takeaway Containers

The best takeaway food container keeps meals hot or cold, stops leaks and looks good when it reaches your customer. Pick the food first, then the material, then the size.

Match the Container to Your Menu

Use round plastic takeaway containers for soups, curries and sauces. Use rectangle takeaway containers for rice, pasta, salads and meal prep. Our freezer grade range suits food you want to store. Kraft takeaway boxes suit burgers, chips, snacks and baked goods. For cold and display food, clear clamshell containers let customers see what they are buying. Serving more than one dish? Try bento boxes. For noodles, see our plastic noodle bowls.

Pick the Right Material

Material Good for Heat guide
PP (polypropylene) Hot meals, reheating, freezing Up to about 110°C, microwave safe
PET and OPS (clear plastic) Cold food, salads, sushi, display PET up to about 60°C, OPS up to about 75°C
Paper and kraft Burgers, snacks, baked goods, lined paper for warm food Up to about 85°C
Sugarcane (bagasse) Hot or cold food that is not greasy Up to about 100°C, not for microwave or oven

Temperatures are a guide. Check each product label before you buy.

Choose the Right Size

As a rough guide, 8oz (240ml) holds sauces, sides and desserts. 16oz (470ml) suits soups and small meals, and 20oz (590ml) suits larger soups and curries. For rice, pasta and salads, look at 500ml to 750ml. Choose 1000ml to 1500ml for big meals and meal prep. If in doubt, size up so lids close properly.

Don’t Forget the Lids

Many of our round containers are sold as bases, so add the matching lid to your order. A good fit stops leaks during delivery and keeps food fresh.

Think About Eco-Friendly Choices and Local Rules

Kraft paper and sugarcane are popular with venues that want to use less plastic. Foam (expanded polystyrene) food containers are banned in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and other states, so choose paper, sugarcane or plastic alternatives. Rules differ by state, so check the latest rules where you trade.

Polypropylene (PP) containers handle heat well, and lined paper and sugarcane work for many hot dishes. Check the heat guide on each product page.

Are your takeaway containers microwave safe?

Can I freeze food in takeaway containers?
Yes, if you pick freezer grade containers. Our rectangle freezer grade range is made for this.
