The shape of kraft paper bowls varies widely. These containers are typically manufactured in either a round or square shape, but they can also be made into other more exotic designs. You can find bowls that closely resemble the classic shape of bowls and others with slightly more curvature. Some manufacturers use cellulose technology to make these bowls cylindrical, while others rely on molding or forming techniques to produce their diverse styles.

Waterproof And Greaseproof
Kraft paper bowls are often waterproof and grease-resistant, making them a great choice for serving hot meals at your restaurant or shop or as a take-away food packaging. The material is porous enough to let steam escape from food but strong enough to keep liquids inside the bowl. It means you can serve up most types of foods in these containers without worrying about having a mess on the customers’ hands. Kraft paper bowls have pe coating on the paper surface, which prevent the liquid from leaking, mainly if the meals include sauces and soups.

Microwaveable And Heat-resistant
Kraft paper bowls are microwaveable, making them a popular choice for people looking for an easy way to heat meals at home. To use these containers in the microwave, remove your food from its original packaging and place it inside the bowl. The bowl can then be used as a makeshift plate or eating utensil.

You can decorate kraft paper bowls with designs and logos to give your packaging a touch of flare. Some restaurants use these containers for advertising their brand or menu items in front of customers, which may aid in promoting any special offers or new products.

How Is Kraft Bowl Produced?

Laminating The Paper Roll
Paper lamination is the process of paper coated with polymer to give paper roll water-resistant features and grease-proof features. The polymer can be pe, pla, pp, water based barrier coating or other material.
In the first step, the polymer will be melted and then turn into sheet form. Second, the polymer sheet will be pressed against the paper to be coated when it is still hot. The paper and film will stick to each other very closely. When their temperature goes down, they are permanently combined together.
The raw paper can be kraft, white, or bamboo paper material. The lamination can achieve different film surface treatments like matt or glossy. If the paper container is used for the ice-cold things, the raw paper roll has to laminate with the double side which we called it double pe film coating paper. The speed of coating film is 300meter /min.

Printing Paper Roll
Printing will go after paper lamination is done. Before the printing starts, the logo printing plate has to be made in advance. With the logo printing plate, the logo will be printed onto the paper roll.
For the food packaging, the flexo printing and uv printing methods are the priority. As they are food grade and environment friendly. With an advanced printing machine, the paper roll will be directly printed with a logo or brand image. Two methods of printing almost no need time to wait for ink dry that which will ensure the speed of production time. A simple logo will refer to flexo printing.

Die Cut Paper Roll
A high-speed roll dies punching machine will punch and die cut raw paper roll into different sizes of kraft bowl fan shapes by changing moulds. Max die-cutting size is 1150×350mm. The paper fan is the side paper of the kraft bowl.
Die-cut equipment can easily cut all types of kraft bowl fans at a fast speed of around 300-380 times/min. Relatively, pla coating paper die-cut speed is slower than pe film coating paper. As the pla liner paper is thicker than the pe liner paper to be cut.

Molding Kraft Bowl
Molding is also called forming. It is a key step in the whole kraft bowl process. The kraft bowl machine will control the outlet speed and temperature for paper fan forming and the bottom paper sealing. The fast speed of forming can reach 100pcs-120pcs/bowl per minute.: Production output up to 48,000 cups per shift (8 hours), up to 4.3 million cups per month (3 shifts)
Before the paper machine starts to form the kraft bowl fan, the operator needs to spray water on the paper fan for easy curling every 20-30 minutes. The paper roll of the kraft bowl bottom and kraft bowl fan will be delivered into the feeding port of the kraft bowl machine.

Water Leaking Test
The operator will randomly pick up the kraft bowl with a mark during every shift of production. The water will be put in the kraft bowl to observe if there is water leakage and a form problems. If there is any quality problem, we can easily track its cause from a different set of raw paper rolls, lamination and kraft bowl machine.

Auto Packing
When the kraft bowl is done forming, it will be delivered to an automatic kraft bowl packing machine. One auto packing machine can absorb multiple (maximum is 4 kraft bowl machines, we are 2) kraft bowl machines’ output quantity online. The bag poly film(15um-50um) will be auto feeding in the machine.
The operator can arrange a single and double row of kraft bowls when packaging. The packing speed is 15 bags/min. After it packs kraft bowls, it can automatically classify the kraft bowl from different kraft bowl machines and then deliver them to specific good containers. The packing is 100% clean without human operation.

What Is Types Of Kraft Bowls Coating

As we mentioned before, the coating creates a waterproof layer on the kraft bowl. It can help the paper container to hold liquid and food without leaking. It is a necessary part of the kraft bowl. How to choose the paper coating?

Single pe coating paper

Single pe coating is most widely used in paper food packaging. It can hold almost every type of food in a paper container except cold ice food. But the pe is made from plastic. So, it can’t be biodegradable. Pe liner can stand up to 100 celsius degrees, which is perfect for hot food service and beverages. By the way, the pe coating can’t be microwaved. You can’t put the pe coating paper product in the microwave for more than 3 minutes.

Double pe coating paper

Double pe coating is suitable for cold ice foodservice like acai and seafood. The double pe coating will keep the paper container solid without being soft when it is contacting with low-temperature food. Due to double pe coating, the kraft bowl will be stronger and more durable than a single pe coating.

Pla coating paper

Pla coating (bio-plastic) is a biodegradable coating for the kraft bowl. It is eco-friendly and compostable compared to pe lining. As a popular alternative to pe coating, now it is widely used in paper cups and paper soup bowls. But pla lining paper cost is much high than pe lining paper. So, the average price of a pla coating kraft bowl is much higher than a pe coating kraft bowl.

Water-based barrier coating

Water-based barrier coating paper is called plastic-free paper. It is 100% biodegradable and can be decomposed in the home. It can break down in nature within 180 days. It is the newest solution to plastic waste. Its waterproof is as good as pe lining. It can support cold food as well as pe coating paper when the kraft bowl is double-coated with a water-based barrier coating.

Tips on Choosing the Right Kraft Bowls Size

Analyze Your Offerings
Break down your menu items by portion size and type. Soups and stews might require deeper bowls, whereas salads could be served in wider, shallower bowls. Knowing what goes into each bowl helps in selecting the right sizes.

Popular Dishes First
Start by choosing bowl sizes that accommodate your best-selling items perfectly. Ensure these bowls enhance the presentation of these popular dishes.

Portion Variety
Offer multiple portion sizes for your most popular dishes. For instance, small (500ml), medium (750ml), and large (1000ml) options cater to different appetites and can help in attracting a broader customer base.

Feedback Loop
Use customer feedback to adjust if certain meals feel too large or too small. Customers appreciate having exactly the right amount of food, which also helps in reducing waste.

Bulk buy

Once you’ve determined the most useful sizes, buy kraft bowls in bulk to reduce costs. Consider negotiating with suppliers for better rates based on your volume of purchase.

Standardize when possible

Limiting the variety of bowl sizes can streamline operations and reduce overhead costs in terms of inventory management and storage.

Lid compatibility

If offering takeaway, ensure the lids fit snugly with the corresponding bowl sizes. A tight fit prevents spills and maintains food quality during transport.

How to Choose Kraft Bowls

Look At The Packaging
Generally speaking, when we buy kraft bowls, the kraft bowls should be sealed in a bag and the bag should not be damaged. Poorly packaged kraft bowls are easily contaminated by the outside world, and the sanitary condition cannot be guaranteed.

Look At The Material
Pay attention to whether the rim of the bowl is flat and smooth, without waste edges and burrs, and the bowl should be clean with uniform thickness and free of impurities. The inside of the bowl should also be clean and free of impurities. Pay attention to choosing a kraft bowl that can be waterproof and oil-proof, and can also be used to serve food other than salad.To choose a kraft bowl with better bowl body hardness,when purchasing a paper bowl,you can gently pinch both sides of the bowl body with your hands,and you can roughly know the hardness of the bowl body.

Product Certificate
A kraft bowl with a certain capacity and depth can be used to serve vegetable salads, fruits and desserts, and if you choose a style that can withstand heat, it can also be used in a variety of hot foods, making it much more practical. Therefore, you should carefully check whether the relevant certificates on the supply manufacturers, if the certificate content is incomplete or irregular, it is best not to buy such kraft bowls.
