Short answer: Disposable salad bowls typically range from small side-salad portions to large sharing sizes. Our PET-lid line spans 250 ml to 1,500 ml. Choose capacity by portion weight and use case — and always match the lid to the bowl size before ordering in bulk.

How to Choose Capacity
- Side salads and snacks: smaller capacities keep portions — and food cost — controlled.
- Main-course salads: mid-range bowls fit a standard lunch portion with room for toppings.
- Sharing and family packs: large bowls (1,000 ml+) suit sharing formats and catering.
- Meal prep and delivery: pick the bowl that fits your standard portion weight, then verify the lid seals under delivery conditions.
Rule of thumb: size the bowl to your portion weight, not to what looks generous on the shelf. An oversized bowl makes portions look small and wastes material on every order.
Don’t Forget the Lid
A salad bowl is a bowl-and-lid system. Flat lids stack efficiently; high-clarity PET dome lids showcase layered salads and tall toppings. Whatever you choose, verify the fit — lid-to-bowl matching should be confirmed with samples before bulk production, especially for delivery programs where a loose lid means a refund.
Custom Printing
All three lines support custom logo printing and full-wrap artwork for brand and private-label programs. Artwork is proofed before bulk production. Our standard MOQ is 30,000 pcs per size and artwork.

FAQ
Are the bowls leak-resistant?
The inner coating resists moisture, dressing, and oil under normal foodservice use. For delivery programs, test the bowl-and-lid combination with your actual food weight and transport conditions.
Can I get samples in multiple sizes?
Yes — and for a multi-size program you should. Samples are normally ready 7 days after artwork confirmation.
What is the MOQ per size?
30,000 pcs per size and artwork. Each size is its own production run.
