Deli Containers
From a 30ml sauce pot to a 500ml dip tub, we've got the sizes hospo actually needs.
Deli containers do the quiet work. They hold your hummus, your tzatziki, your chilli oil, your side sauces. They sit in the cold case overnight and turn up to the customer's table without leaking. That's the whole job.
We stock round deli pots in PP and PLA from 30ml to 500ml, plus flip-top deli bags for dry goods. Lids sold alongside so you're not chasing matches. Order before 4pm on a business day and stocked lines go out the same day.
The sizes we stock
Our current deli container range covers the sizes that come up most in a working kitchen:
- RF0914 — 30ml round container, pack of 250. Good for single-serve soy, dipping sauces, or condiment portions.
- RF1031 — 50ml round container, carton of 3000. Portion control for dressings and hot sauces.
- RF2303 — 60ml PLA cup, carton of 2000. The sauce half of our 2-in-1 Salad n Sauce Pottle.
- F1052 — 250ml round container, carton of 500. Solid mid-size for dips, sides, and cold-case retail.
- RF2307 — 300ml plastic cup, carton of 1000. The salad half of the 2-in-1 Pottle.
- F1056 — 500ml round container, carton of 500. Large enough for bulk dips or a decent side salad.
- B9510 — Flip-top deli bag, 265 x 280 x 40mm, carton of 5000. Clear, for dry goods and grab-and-go.
- RF0914.1 — Lid for 30ml round container, pack of 250. Buy it when you buy the pot.
Materials and what they're good for
PP (polypropylene) handles temperature swings well. Freezer to fridge without cracking. That matters if you're prepping dips ahead and pulling them out service by service.
PLA is plant-based and compostable under the right conditions. The 60ml PLA cup is part of the 2-in-1 Salad n Sauce Pottle setup, pairing with the 300ml plastic outer.
Lids on the 30ml pot are sold separately as RF0914.1. Check your ratios before ordering so you don't run short mid-week.
Where deli containers show up in a hospo kitchen
They're everywhere once you start looking. A few common spots:
- Side sauces on burger and fried chicken orders
- Soy and wasabi portions at sushi counters
- Dips in a deli cold case (hummus, babaganoush, tzatziki)
- Chilli oil and sambal portioned for Indian or Asian takeaway
- Salad dressings sent with grab-and-go boxes
- Dessert sauces and coulis in small serves
The 2-in-1 Salad n Sauce Pottle (RF2303 + RF2307) works well for any menu where the sauce needs to stay separate until the customer opens it.
Ordering and dispatch
Stocked lines go out same day if your order is in before 4pm on a NZ business day. The products listed on this page are stocked lines.
Carton quantities vary by product, so check the SKUs above before you order. Buying in full cartons keeps the unit cost down. If you need a custom print run or a size we don't currently stock, get in touch and we'll talk through options and lead times.
Frequently asked
Do the lids for the 30ml pots come with the containers?+
No, they're sold separately. The pot is RF0914 and the lid is RF0914.1, both in packs of 250. Order both at the same time so you don't end up with lidless pots.
Are these containers freezer-safe?+
The PP round containers handle freezer temperatures without cracking. If you're freezing product in the pots and pulling them out to thaw, PP is the right call.
What's the 2-in-1 Salad n Sauce Pottle?+
It's a two-piece setup. The 300ml plastic cup (RF2307) holds the salad, and the 60ml PLA cup (RF2303) sits inside with the dressing or sauce. The customer separates them when they're ready to eat. Good for grab-and-go counters.
Can I get custom printed deli containers?+
Custom print is available but it's not a same-day thing. Lead times and minimum order quantities apply. Contact us directly and we'll go through what's possible for your volume.
Is the PLA cup actually compostable?+
PLA is compostable under commercial composting conditions. It won't break down in a landfill at the same rate. Check what your local waste stream accepts before you make any claims to customers.
What's the minimum order?+
We sell in full cartons. The carton size varies by product, from 250 packs for the 30ml pots up to 5000 for the flip-top deli bags. Check the individual SKUs for exact quantities.
