Octagonal Paper Meal Box

How to Choose Between the 550ml and 850ml Octagonal Paper Meal Boxes?

The 550ml octagonal paper meal box features a more compact square-like design, making it ideal for fried rice, dry noodles, salads, light meals, side dishes, and standard portion sizes. Conversely, the 850ml octagonal paper meal box offers a larger capacity, perfectly suited for bentos, rice with sauces, pasta, stews, and takeout entrees with generous portions.

When selecting a meal box, we recommend considering portion size, oil and sauce levels, delivery distance, and visual presentation needs. Before moving to full production, conducting actual filling and delivery tests is highly advised to ensure the box capacity and lid combination perfectly meet your requirements.

【FAQ 3】

Q: What material is the octagonal paper meal box made of?

A: Our octagonal paper meal boxes are made of quality paperboard lined with a PE coating. While the PE lining significantly enhances the box's oil and water resistance, the product is not completely plastic-free. For proper disposal, recycling methods should follow the local waste sorting regulations of your specific area.

【FAQ 4】

Q: What types of dishes are suitable for the octagonal paper meal box?

A: They are perfect for bentos, fried rice, dry noodles, pasta, salads, light meals, rice with sauces, and certain stewed dishes. If your menu items contain heavy liquids/soups or require long-distance delivery, we strongly recommend conducting actual filling tests beforehand and choosing a lid combination with a more secure seal.

【FAQ 5】

A: The 550ml model can be paired with the CP-550 snap-lock paper lid or the CPS-550 rim-seal paper lid. The 850ml model can be paired with the CP-850 paper lid or a heat-resistant transparent PP lid. Each lid option varies in sealing performance, product visibility, and brand printing capabilities, allowing you to choose based on your specific operational needs.

【FAQ 6】

Q: Can the octagonal paper meal box be used for soup?

A: The octagonal paper meal box is best suited for bentos, rice, noodles, salads, and dishes with a moderate amount of sauce. It is not recommended for holding large volumes of free-flowing soup without prior testing. If your dishes contain sauces or require food delivery, we highly advise testing the lid seal, holding time, and transit methods beforehand.

【FAQ 7】

Q: Is the octagonal paper meal box microwavable?

A: Microwavability depends on the combined materials of the meal box, inner lining, and lid. Since different lids have varying heat-resistance thresholds, we do not recommend microwaving the box with the lid attached without confirming the usage conditions. Prior to procurement, please inform us of your intended heating methods so GodPak Packaging can assist you in verifying the appropriate specifications.
