Kraft Bowls: Perfect For Salads, Sushi, Poke & More

Whether you’re a high-street deli, a specialised sushi bar, or a boutique bakery, the right container can be the difference between a soggy mess and a premium customer experience.

At Inn Supplies, our range of Kraft salad bowls has become a staple for UK businesses. But these aren’t just "salad bowls." From vibrant poke bowls to surprisingly elegant bakery takeout, here is why these eco-friendly powerhouses are the ultimate versatile packaging solution.

Why kraft bowls are replacing plastic in 2026

The shift toward sustainable packaging has become a requirement. Our Kraft paper bowls offer a natural, earthy aesthetic that tells your customers you care about the planet.

• Leak-resistant: Coated with a PE or PP lining, they handle dressings and sauces without losing structural integrity.

• Temperature versatile: Suitable for cold salads and fridge-stable sushi, as well as warm grain bowls.

• Stackable design: Optimised for kitchen efficiency and delivery riders.

1. The perfect salad bowls: Beyond the basic green

A great salad is all about layers. Our round and rectangular Kraft bowls provide a wide "canvas" that allows you to showcase colourful ingredients like pomegranate seeds, feta, and grilled chicken rather than burying them.

• Top tip: Use our PET clear lids for maximum visibility in grab-and-go fridges to increase impulse buys.

2. Authentic sushi bowls & chirashi

Sushi doesn't always have to come in a flat tray. Sushi bowls (chirashi) are trending across the UK as a filling, deconstructed alternative to traditional rolls. The deep profile of our 500ml and 750ml bowls is perfect for a base of seasoned vinegar rice topped with sashimi, ginger, and edamame.

3. Poke bowls: The modern takeaway king

Originating from Hawaii, Poke is the ultimate healthy "fast food." Because Poke involves heavy marination and various wet toppings (like seaweed salad and mango salsa), you need a bowl that won't go soft.

• Why use our Kraft bowls for Poke? The sturdy base supports the weight of the rice and fish, while the secure-fit lids ensure your signature soy-ginger dressing stays inside the bowl, not in the delivery bag.

4. Bakery & dessert: The "cake slice" secret

Are you a bakery looking for a unique way to package cake slices or brownies?

Traditional cardboard boxes can be flimsy. Placing a thick slice of Victoria Sponge or a gooey brownie into a small Kraft bowl with a clear lid provides a "premium gift" feel. It also protects delicate frosting from being squashed during transit.

Size guide: Which bowl do you need?

Choosing the right size is crucial for portion control and profit margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are Kraft salad bowls microwavable?

While Kraft paper itself is heat-resistant, it depends on the lining. Bowls with a PP lining are suitable for reheating, whereas PET-lined bowls are best kept for cold or room-temperature foods.

Can I recycle Kraft paper bowls?

Yes! Most of our Kraft bowls are recyclable. Because they feature a thin plastic lining to prevent leaks, they should be disposed of in paper recycling streams (check with your local waste provider for specific "poly-coated" paper rules).

Do they come with lids?

Lids are typically sold separately to give you the choice between anti-fog PET lids (perfect for cold displays) and PP lids (better for warmer contents).
