Thai Takeaway Packaging for Dunedin Operators
Curry doesn't wait, and neither should your packaging order.
Dunedin's Thai scene runs hard — campus crowds, late-night orders, and a customer base that wants their massaman hot and their container leak-free. We supply 37 operators in Dunedin already, from small student-strip takeaways to sit-down restaurants doing big dinner volumes.
We stock containers that handle liquid-heavy dishes: deep bases, secure lids, sizes from 280ml up to 5 litres. Order by 4pm on a business day and we dispatch the same day on stocked lines.
Containers Built for Curry and Soup
Runny green curry or a bowl of tom kha — both need a container with a proper seal. Thin-walled boxes leak. We stock options that don't.
- RF0610.1 — 700ml Bonson Wide Base Container Black, 500/ctn. Wide, stable base. Good for saucy dishes that shift in transit.
- RF4683 — Black Oval Container 750ml, 250/ctn. Solid for single-portion curries or noodle dishes with broth.
- RF4680 — Black Oval Container 500ml, 250/ctn. Smaller serve, same reliability.
Bio and Compostable Options
Otago University precinct operators get asked about sustainability. A lot. We carry compostable containers that hold up to hot food without going soggy on you mid-shift.
- RF4204 — Bio Square Container White 280ml, 130 x 130 x 45mm, 600/ctn. Good for sides, sauces, or small serves.
- RF4218 — Bio Lid to suit 280ml and 480ml Bio Square Containers, 600/ctn. Buy the lid that actually fits.
- F4229 — BioCane Takeaway Tray 500ml, 180 x 124 x 42mm, 500/ctn. Bagasse construction. Handles heat well.
- F1855 — Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml, 300/ctn. Rectangular footprint stacks efficiently in a delivery bag.
Bulk Storage and Prep Containers
Pad thai base, curry paste, coconut milk reduction — Thai kitchens prep in volume. The H4208 5 litre DG Plastic Container with Cap is what you reach for. Airtight cap, clear body so you can see what's inside, food-safe plastic. Sold individually. Holds up in a busy fridge or cool store without cracking or warping.
Ordering for Dunedin
We already supply 37 businesses in Dunedin. Orders placed by 4pm on a NZ business day are dispatched same day on stocked lines. Carton quantities are listed on each product — no minimum order on most lines, but buying by the carton keeps your unit cost down.
If you're running a food truck on the Octagon or a fixed shop near campus, the volumes and SKUs are the same. We don't have a separate tier for small operators.
Frequently asked
What size container works best for a standard curry portion?+
Most single-portion Thai curries fit comfortably in a 700ml to 750ml container. The RF0610.1 (700ml) and RF4683 (750ml) are both solid choices. If you're including rice in the same container, go 750ml minimum.
Do the bio containers hold up with hot liquid dishes like soups?+
The BioCane tray (F4229) and Biopak rectangular container (F1855) handle hot food well. They're not designed for submerging in liquid, but for takeaway portions of soup or broth-heavy dishes they're fine. Use a lid.
Can I get lids that fit the bio square containers?+
Yes. RF4218 is the lid designed for the 280ml and 480ml Bio Square Containers. Buy them as a separate line — they're sold in cartons of 600.
Do you do custom printed containers?+
Custom print isn't listed in our current stocked range for these lines. Get in touch directly and we can talk through what's possible and what the minimums look like.
How quickly can I get stock in Dunedin?+
We dispatch same day on stocked lines if your order is in before 4pm on a NZ business day. Courier times to Dunedin vary, but Otago is well-connected. Check the product page to confirm a line is stocked before you're counting on it for a busy weekend.
What's the largest container you stock for Thai meal prep or batch cooking?+
The H4208 is a 5 litre DG Plastic Container with a cap — that's the biggest in this range. It's aimed at bulk prep and storage rather than individual takeaway serves.
