Chinese Takeaway Packaging, Dunedin

37 Dunedin operators already order through us — here's what's keeping their dumplings, noodles, and fried rice in one piece.

Dunedin's student quarter runs hard. Late-night noodle orders, lunchtime dim sum, takeaway containers stacked three-deep on the bench — your packaging needs to keep up. Ours does.

We stock containers that suit Chinese takeaway formats: deep enough for saucy dishes, lidded tight enough for delivery, and available in carton quantities that make sense for a busy kitchen.

Containers built for Chinese takeaway formats

Noodle dishes and stir-fries need depth and a secure lid. The RF0610.1 Bonson Wide Base Container 700ml handles both — black base, wide opening, 500 per carton. Good for noodles, fried rice, and anything saucy.

For smaller portions, the RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml (130 x 130 x 45mm, 600/ctn) pairs with the RF4218 Bio Lid to suit 280ml and 480ml bio square containers. Pair them for entrée-sized dim sum or sauce portions.

The RF4680 Black Oval Container 500ml and RF4683 Black Oval Container 750ml (both 250/ctn) present well on delivery platforms and work for mains or combination plates.

Eco options for operators who want them

More Dunedin customers are asking about packaging materials, especially around the university. We stock a few solid options.

  • F4229 BioCane Takeaway Tray 500ml — 180 x 124 x 42mm, 500 per carton. Sugarcane fibre, handles heat, looks clean on the counter.
  • F1855 Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml — 300 per carton. A rectangular format that stacks well and suits portioned dishes.
  • RF4204 Bio Square Container White 280ml with matching RF4218 bio lids — both compostable-friendly options.

We don't overstate certifications. Check each product page for the specific material and disposal guidance.

Bulk storage and large-batch containers

If you're prepping sauces, soups, or bulk noodle bases, the H4208 5ltr DG Plastic Container with Cap is worth stocking. Secure cap, 5 litre capacity, handles fridge-to-bench use in a busy prep kitchen.

It's not a takeaway container — it's for the back of house. But it's in the same order, which saves you a separate delivery run.

Frequently asked

What size container works best for a standard noodle dish?+

The RF0610.1 Bonson Wide Base Container 700ml is a solid choice — enough depth for a full serve of noodles or fried rice, and 500 to a carton so you're not reordering every week.

Do you stock bio containers that work with hot food?+

Yes. The F4229 BioCane Tray 500ml handles heat well. The F1855 Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml is another option. Check each product page for specific temperature ratings.

Can I get matching lids for the bio square containers?+

Yes. The RF4218 Bio Lid suits both the 280ml and 480ml bio square containers. Order them together — they're listed separately in the catalogue.

Do you do custom printed containers?+

Custom print isn't listed in this catalogue range. Contact us directly to discuss print options — minimum quantities and lead times will apply.

What's the smallest carton quantity I can order?+

It varies by product. The black oval containers are 250/ctn, bio square containers are 600/ctn, and the BioCane trays are 500/ctn. Each product page lists the carton quantity.
