Chinese Takeaway Packaging, Christchurch
Nine Christchurch operators already order from us — here's what they're putting their dumplings, noodles, and fried rice into.
Christchurch's Chinese takeaway scene runs hard, from suburban strip shops to CBD noodle bars riding the city's rebuild. You need containers that don't collapse under a scoop of fried rice or leak sauce through a delivery bag.
We stock plastic, bio, and black oval options suited to hot mains, dim sum, and saucy noodle dishes. Carton quantities, real stock, dispatched the same day you order if you're in before 4pm.
Containers built for Chinese food — not just any food
Noodle dishes are wet. Dim sum needs to breathe a little but stay hot. Fried rice packs dense and heavy. Not every container handles all three well.
The RF4680 Black Oval Container 500ml and RF4683 Black Oval Container 750ml (250 per carton each) are solid workhorses for mains. The black presentation looks sharp and the oval shape handles scooped dishes without the container looking half-empty.
For dim sum or side portions, the RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml — 130 x 130 x 45mm, 600 per carton — fits the job well. Pair it with the RF4218 Bio Lid (suits both 280ml and 480ml bio square containers, also 600 per carton).
Bigger portions, bigger containers
Family-size orders and banquet packs need more room. The H4208 5ltr DG Plastic Container with Cap handles large bulk portions — think shared dishes for four, or catering orders going out the door on a Friday night.
The RF0610.1 700ml Bonson Wide Base Container Black (500 per carton) gives you a stable, wide-base option that doesn't tip when it's loaded up. Good for noodle soups and dishes with a bit of liquid.
Bio options for operators who want them
If your customers care about packaging — and increasingly, Christchurch ones do — we have bio lines ready to go.
- F4229 BioCane Takeaway Tray 500ml, 180 x 124 x 42mm, 500 per carton. Flat tray format, good for dim sum or rice dishes.
- F1855 Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml, 300 per carton. Rectangular shape, compostable, handles hot food without going soft on you.
- RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml with matching RF4218 lid. Both in 600-carton quantities so you're not reordering constantly.
These aren't there to tick a box. They're functional containers that happen to be better for the bin.
Ordering for your Christchurch kitchen
We already supply nine Christchurch operators. Orders placed before 4pm on a business day on stocked lines go out same day. No minimums that'll have you drowning in containers you can't move.
If you're not sure which container suits your menu best, just ask. We know what's actually being used in Chinese takeaways and can point you straight.
