Chinese Takeaway Packaging, Auckland
54 Auckland operators already order through us — here's what actually works for Chinese food.
Noodles, fried rice, dumplings, soup-based dishes — each one puts different demands on a container. Sauce leaks through thin lids. Steam buckles flimsy bases. The wrong box turns a good meal into a soggy mess by the time it hits the door.
We stock containers that handle the heat, hold the liquid, and stack properly on a busy service bench. Orders placed before 4pm on business days on stocked lines go out the same day.
Containers built for Chinese food, not just food in general
Chinese takeaway packaging needs to handle oily sauces, hot broths, and heavy portions. The RF0610.1 700ml Bonson Wide Base Container Black is a solid everyday workhorse — the wide base keeps it stable on the counter and in a bag. Sold in cartons of 500.
For dim sum, sides, and smaller portions, the RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml at 130 x 130 x 45mm is a clean, practical option. Pair it with the RF4218 Bio Lid — it suits both the 280ml and 480ml sizes, so you're not juggling two lid SKUs.
Oval containers for presentation that doesn't cost extra
If you're running a sit-down or semi-casual Chinese restaurant in Ponsonby or Newmarket and want packaging that looks intentional, the black oval range does the job without drama.
- RF4680 Black Oval Container 500ml — 250 per carton, suits a single serve of noodles or rice.
- RF4683 Black Oval Container 750ml — same carton count, better for larger portions or combo meals.
Both stack. Both look sharp against light-coloured food.
Bio options for operators watching their footprint
More Auckland customers are asking about packaging materials — particularly in the CBD and inner suburbs. If that's your crowd, we have a few options worth knowing about.
The F4229 BioCane Takeaway Tray 500ml at 180 x 124 x 42mm comes 500 to a carton. Flat tray format, suits dim sum platters or smaller serve situations. The F1855 Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml comes 300 per carton and handles hot food well.
Neither is a novelty item — they're functional containers that happen to be made from plant-based materials.
Bulk storage containers for prep and kitchen use
Out front is one thing. Out back is another. The H4208 5ltr DG Plastic Container with Cap is for your prep kitchen — sauces, marinades, bulk stock. Airtight cap, clearly labelled when you're running three different chilli oils and need to know which is which at 11pm.
Frequently asked
What size container suits a standard noodle or fried rice serve?+
The 700ml Bonson Wide Base Container (RF0610.1) is a reliable fit for most single noodle or rice portions. If you're plating up larger combos, the 750ml Black Oval (RF4683) gives you the extra room.
Do the bio containers handle hot, saucy food without leaking?+
The F1855 Biopak Rectangular Container and the Bio Square Container range are both designed for hot food. They hold up well with sauced dishes. If you're transporting broth-heavy items, we'd recommend a lid — the RF4218 lid suits the 280ml and 480ml Bio Square containers.
Can I get custom printed containers for my Auckland restaurant?+
Custom print runs are available on certain lines but require minimum quantities and lead time. Contact us directly to discuss what's possible for your business.
How quickly can I get stock delivered in Auckland?+
Orders on stocked lines placed before 4pm on a NZ business day are dispatched the same day. Delivery timeframes within Auckland depend on the courier once it leaves us.
Do you sell cartons or can I buy smaller quantities to trial?+
Most lines are sold by the carton — that's how the pricing works at wholesale. The carton counts vary by product: the Bonson containers come 500 per carton, the Bio Square containers come 600, the Black Oval range comes 250.
I run a dim sum kitchen — what container works for smaller bite-size portions?+
The RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml at 130 x 130 x 45mm is a good fit for dim sum serves. Combine it with the RF4218 Bio Lid. The F4229 BioCane Tray 500ml works well for sharing-style platter presentations.
