Poke Bowl Containers: Sizes, Lids and Price per Bowl

For poke and salad bowls, Packery's Bowls & Lids range gives you two routes: clear PET lids sized to bowl ranges (a raised lid for 16oz–32oz salad bowls and a dome lid for 12oz/16oz/24oz bowls), or brown PLA-coated paper noodle boxes in 8oz, 16oz, 26oz and 32oz that work as a deep bowl. Per-item prices start at $0.11 for the dome lid and run to $0.37 for the 32oz noodle box.

• No minimum order, and every product page shows the carton price and the price per item.

Which lids fit poke and salad bowls?

The two lids built for bowls are the clear PET dome lid for 12oz/16oz/24oz bowls and the clear raised PET lid for 16oz–32oz salad bowls. Pick the one whose stated size range matches the bowl bases you already use.

The dome lid comes in a carton of 500 (see the product page for the current price). The raised lid comes in a carton of 300 (see the product page for the current price). Both are clear, so the toppings stay visible on the counter.

A raised lid suits a bowl that is filled above the rim: a poke bowl with sliced fish, edamame, seaweed salad and crispy shallots piled on top. A dome lid suits bowls in the smaller to middle sizes where you still want headroom for garnish.

What sizes do poke bowls come in here?

The bowl sizes stated in the range are 12oz, 16oz and 24oz (dome lid), 16oz to 32oz (raised salad bowl lid), 23oz/30oz (sugarcane and RPET lids), and 8oz, 16oz, 26oz and 32oz noodle boxes. That covers a side serve through to a large main.

As a rough menu guide, without promising exact fill weights:

• Side or kids' bowl: 8oz or 12oz.
• Regular poke or grain bowl: 16oz.
• Large poke or loaded salad: 24oz to 32oz.

If your menu sells two bowl sizes, a lid that covers both (such as the dome lid across 12oz/16oz/24oz) means one lid SKU to stock instead of two.

Are there paper or sugarcane options instead of plastic?

Yes. The noodle boxes are brown paper with a PLA coating, and the 23oz Sugarcane Takeaway Container – Lid for 23oz/30oz (Carton of 400) is a white sugarcane lid. Sugarcane packaging is made from bagasse, the fibre left after sugarcane is pressed.

The PLA-coated noodle boxes give you a paper option for poke and grain bowls, from a side serve up to a large main. Sizes and prices:

• 16oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500): $97.02 per carton, $0.19 each.
• 26oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500): $123.82 per carton, $0.25 each.
• 32oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500): $142.00 per carton, $0.28 each.
• The 8oz noodle box comes in a carton of 1000 (see the product page for the current price).

If you would rather the customer see the food, the clear RPET option is the 23oz Takeaway Container – RPET Lid for 23oz/30oz (Carton of 400) at $55.17 per carton, or $0.14 each. RPET is recycled PET plastic.

How do the prices compare per bowl?

Per item, prices in this list range from $0.11 for the dome lid to $0.37 for the 32oz noodle box. The table lists only what the catalogue states.

Remember the lids are priced as lids only. When you compare a lid against a noodle box, add the cost of your bowl base to the lid price before deciding.

Which one should I buy?

Match the product to how the bowl leaves your shop. Here is how we would choose:

• Poke bar with a counter display and delivery apps: the 16oz PET Takeaway Container – Raised Lid for Salad Bowl 16oz–32oz (Carton of 300). The raised clear lid clears piled toppings and covers a wide size range.
• Café selling small and regular grain bowls: the 12oz PET Takeaway Container – Dome Lid for 12oz/16oz/24oz Bowl (Carton of 500), at $0.09 each, so one lid covers three bowl sizes.
• Takeaway shop that wants a paper format: the 16oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500) for regular bowls and the 32oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500) for large ones.
• Venue already using 23oz/30oz containers: the 23oz Sugarcane Takeaway Container – Lid for 23oz/30oz (Carton of 400) for a fibre lid, or the 23oz Takeaway Container – RPET Lid for 23oz/30oz (Carton of 400) for a clear one.
• Caterer packing salads in mixed sizes: the 26oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box (Carton of 500) sits between the regular and large sizes.
