Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about wholesale paper bowls, specifications, and ordering.

What sizes do your paper bowls come in?

Our standard round paper bowls range from 500ml to 1300ml. Takeout paper bowls (deep cylindrical style) are available from 700ml to 1500ml, ideal for soups and noodle dishes. Ripple paper bowls are available in 17oz, 19oz, and 26oz. Custom sizes are available with MOQ 50,000 pcs. All standard sizes have MOQ 20,000 pcs.

Are your paper bowls leak-proof for hot soups?

Yes. PE-coated and Aqueous-coated paper bowls are suitable for hot liquids up to 95°C. The coating creates a waterproof barrier on the interior surface. For best results, use with a matching paper or PP lid. PLA-coated bowls are suitable for foods up to 45°C and are not recommended for very hot soups.

What is the difference between kraft and white paper bowls?

Kraft paper bowls have a natural brown exterior made from unbleached paperboard, giving a rustic, eco-friendly appearance. White paper bowls have a bleached white exterior that provides a cleaner canvas for custom printing and a more premium look. Both are available with the same coating options and perform identically.

Can I get custom printed paper bowls?

Yes. We offer offset printing (up to 7 colors, Pantone match), flexographic printing (1–4 colors, cost-effective for large volumes), and digital printing (for sampling and new product development). Custom print MOQ starts at 20,000 pcs. Stock (plain kraft or white) bowls also have MOQ 20,000 pcs.

Are your paper bowls compostable?

PLA-coated paper bowls are industrially compostable and meet EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards. Aqueous-coated bowls are plastic-free and widely recyclable in standard paper streams. Standard PE-coated bowls are not compostable but are accepted by many recycling facilities.

What lid options are available for paper bowls?

We offer stackable paper lids, transparent PET/rPET lids (with optional anti-fog coating), PP lids, and round window paper lids. Lid diameters are Φ150mm and Φ184mm to match our standard bowl sizes. Ripple bowls use Φ115mm or Φ150mm lids.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

All standard sizes (plain kraft or white, PE coating) have MOQ of 20,000 pcs. Custom coating (PLA, Aqueous) starts at 20,000–30,000 pcs. Custom printed bowls start at 50,000 pcs. Mixed-size orders are accepted.

How do paper bowls compare to plastic containers for hot food?

Paper bowls with PE or Aqueous coating perform comparably to plastic containers for hot food up to 95°C. They are lighter, more sustainable, and increasingly preferred by consumers. Unlike polystyrene foam bowls, paper bowls do not release harmful chemicals when in contact with hot food.
