Salad Boxes to Go – Packaging and Selling Food in an Appetizing Way

Salads and bowls are a staple on the menus of many restaurants, bistros, cafeterias, and snack bars. To ensure these dishes are presented appealingly even when sold for takeout, the right packaging is essential. A salad box should be suited to the portion size, the composition of the dish, and the intended mode of transport.

At Nette Deutschland, you’ll find salad bowls and salad boxes designed for professional use. The product line offers a variety of materials, capacities, and shapes for small side salads, mixed salads, bowl dishes, and larger takeout meals.

What kinds of salad bowls and salad boxes are available?

Salad bowls made of hard paper and kraft paper

Round salad bowls are ideal for attractively serving leafy salads, bowls, vegetable dishes, and other prepared foods. The various sizes allow for portioning tailored to your needs. Depending on the item, the bowls may feature a PE or PLA coating, for example.

For takeout sales, you’ll find matching lids for salad bowls in our product range. When selecting lids, check the bowl diameter and the specified compatibility between the bowl and lid.

Salad boxes made of PET and rPET

Transparent salad boxes offer a clear view of the food inside. This allows you to display colorful salads, antipasti, and cold bowl dishes right at the sales counter. Depending on the model, you can choose from round, oval, rectangular, and polygonal packaging shapes.

The product range also includes hexagonal salad boxes with lids. The eye-catching shape offers an alternative to classic round packaging and is ideal for cold dishes arranged in a variety of ways.

PET and rPET are plastic materials whose compositions vary depending on the product. The temperature ranges and types of food suitable for a salad box depend on the specific product design.

Salad Bowls Made from Bagasse

Our bagasse salad bowls are made from a material derived from sugarcane fibers. They are available in various shapes and sizes and are suitable for salads, vegetable dishes, bowls, and other meals.

Some bagasse bowls are also suitable for hot foods. Please refer to the specific information on temperature resistance and intended use on the product pages. Lids are available separately for select models.

Salad Boxes with Viewing Windows

For prepared takeout meals, visible product presentation is a key selling point. Our salad boxes with windows allow customers to see the contents without having to open the packaging.

This makes these containers particularly suitable for serving prepared foods in bistros, cafeterias, delis, and self-service retail areas.

Salad bowls with lids for takeout and delivery services

The right lid plays a crucial role in transporting salads and bowl dishes. Depending on the packaging model, integrated hinged lids or separately available snap-on lids are available.

Transparent lids allow the food to be seen. Closed lid designs offer an alternative when the presentation of the contents is less of a priority. It is crucial that the bowl and lid are compatible with each other.

If you want to separate multiple ingredients within a bowl, our divider inserts for salad bowls provide the perfect accessory. These allow you to portion out different components within suitable containers.

Note: Suitability for liquid dressings, longer transport distances, or hot foods depends on the specific product. Leak-proof packaging cannot be guaranteed for every bowl-and-lid combination.

Choosing the Right Size for Salads and Bowls

The right salad container makes portioning easier and ensures an appealing presentation. The size you need depends on the ingredients included and the intended menu offerings.

• Small salad bowls: for side salads, smaller vegetable portions, and complementary dishes.
• Medium salad boxes: for mixed salads, couscous salads, pasta dishes, and compact bowl portions.
• Large salad bowls: for main courses with multiple ingredients, generous salad portions, and custom-built meals.

The product line includes, among others, salad bowls with capacities of 500 ml, 750 ml, 850 ml, and 1,200 ml. Additional sizes are available depending on the product series. In addition to the specified capacity, please also note the diameter or dimensions as well as the usable filling height.
