EnglishPaper food containers are a more eco-friendly alternative to Styrofoam and plastic disposable food containers. They have a natural kraft look and are available in several different sizes. They have a PE lined inside that makes them leak proof and water resistant. They also block grease stains. They can be sealed with clear plastic lids or a paper kraft lid to keep the contents fresh and protected. They can be used for takeaway or home delivery of foods and drinks.
A kraft paper bowl is made of a thicker paper with a PE liner or a biodegradable film, or both. The PE lining is a layer that makes the paper waterproof and allows it to withstand cold ice food. It can also block grease stains and can be wiped clean for easy cleaning. A kraft paper bowl can have a custom logo printed on one or both sides of the container, or it can be printed with full color on the entire body of the container.
The PE lining is usually white or brown. Brown kraft paper is more suitable for printing a colorful logo because it has an original natural kraft look. It has good elasticity and can be recycled for future use. The kraft paper is also very durable and can withstand hot, cold, and wet food. The lining is often embossed to make it look more attractive.
In addition to the PE lining, some paper food containers have a PLA (Bio-plastic) coating. This is a more biodegradable and eco-friendly option than the PE coating. The only drawback to a PLA coating is that it is not as strong as a regular paper bowl.
Besides the lining, a paper bowl can be coated with a wax to protect it from abrasions and moisture. It can also be laminated with a layer of UV varnish to reduce fading in the sun. A paper bowl that is coated with a protective material will be more expensive than a plain or unlined kraft paper bowl.
Paper bowls are a great choice for restaurants, diners, and takeaway meals. They are made with food-grade materials and can be safely used for direct contact with food. They are microwaveable, reusable, and recyclable. They can be stacked to save space and are great for storage in the refrigerator or freezer. They are a sustainable alternative to Styrofoam and are easy to clean. They are also ideal for food trucks and takeaway boxes.
