How it is made
A curved wall and a round bottom.
A paper bowl starts as two flat pieces: a side wall cut as a curve, which wraps into a cone and closes along one seam, and a round bottom set in at the base. The top edge is rolled into a rim.
- The wall is cut as an arc, so the bowl tapers and nests in a stack.
- The bottom sits just above the table on a turned skirt.
- The rolled rim stiffens the top and gives the lid something to close on.
- Your print goes on the side wall while it is still flat.
What goes in it
For what gets eaten from the bowl.
Most bowls are eaten from, not tipped onto a plate. Pick the size by the portion.
Noodles and pasta
16–24 oz (473–710 ml)Deep enough to toss in, steady in one hand.
Poke and rice
16–24 oz (473–710 ml)A lid on top for the ride, eaten straight from the bowl.

The board
What the bowl is made of.
Paperboard with a barrier on the inside, and no PE film.
Kraft paperboard
A stiff board wall that holds its shape when the bowl is full.
PE-free barrier
The inside is lined without PE film.
Leak-resistant
Made to hold dressings, sauces and broth on the way to the table.
Lids to match
Each bowl size has a lid made for its rim.
Nests in a stack
Tapered walls, so a sleeve of bowls takes little room.
Made to size
From 8–32 oz (237–946 ml).
Printing
Plain, one colour, or up to four.
Printed on the side wall while it is still flat, so the artwork wraps evenly round the bowl.
Unprinted
Plain kraft. Sticker the lid, or leave it as it is.
One or two colours
Your logo on the side wall. The most common choice.
Up to four colours
Flexo print on the kraft wall for fuller artwork. Colour on unbleached kraft varies a little from run to run.
