Indian Takeaway Packaging for Christchurch Operators
Curry leaks, rice dries out, and dal stains everything — get containers that actually handle it.
We supply 9 Indian takeaway businesses in Christchurch right now. From CBD curry houses riding the downtown revival to suburban spots doing big Friday night volume, the packaging needs are the same: leak-resistant lids, containers that handle hot saucy food, and carton quantities that make sense for a real kitchen.
Below is what we stock. Sizes run from 280ml bio square containers up to a 5 litre plastic container for bulk sauces and ghee. Order before 4pm on a NZ business day and stocked lines go out same day.
Containers built for curry and rice
Hot dal, butter chicken, and saag paneer all need a container with a lid that seals properly. The RF0610.1 Bonson Wide Base Container 700ml is black, stackable, and comes 500 to a carton. Wide base means it sits flat in a bag without tipping. The RF4680 Black Oval Container 500ml and RF4683 750ml version work well for single-serve mains — 250 per carton, consistent sizing across both.
For catering quantities of sauce or bulk prep, the H4208 5 Litre DG Plastic Container with Cap is the one. Solid lid, big enough for a full batch, easy to label and stack in a cool room.
Compostable and bio options
More Christchurch operators are getting asked about sustainable packaging. We stock a few solid options that don't fall apart the moment hot food goes in.
- RF4204 Bio Square Container 280ml — 130 x 130 x 45mm, white, 600 per carton. Good for chutneys, sides, and small sauces.

Frequently asked
Do these containers handle hot curry without warping or leaking?+
The black oval and Bonson wide base containers are designed for hot food. The bio options handle heat too, though we'd recommend checking specific temperature ratings on the product pages before putting them through a commercial bain-marie.
What's the minimum order quantity for Christchurch delivery?+
Products are sold by the carton. Quantities vary by product — 250, 300, 500, or 600 per carton depending on the line. No minimum order across the full catalogue, but individual products are carton-only.
Can I get custom printed containers with my restaurant's branding?+
Custom print isn't covered on this page. Get in touch directly and we can talk through what's possible for your volume.
Do you supply the lids separately from the containers?+
Yes. The RF4218 Bio Lid is sold separately and fits the 280ml and 480ml bio square containers. Check the product page for fit compatibility before ordering.
Are any of the containers certified compostable?+
The bio and BioCane products in our range are made from plant-based materials. For specific certification details, check the individual product pages — we don't list certifications we can't verify.
How fast does delivery reach Christchurch?+
We dispatch stocked lines the same day if you order before 4pm on a NZ business day. Transit times to Christchurch depend on the courier network from our dispatch location — we don't guarantee a specific delivery day.
