Soup Containers

We have a variety of eco-friendly materials to choose from in our soup container range. 

Kraft Paper: This brown coloured paper is known for its durable properties. Named after the German word for strong, kraft paper is a great choice for soup containers with its waterproof nature and the fact the lining helps to regulate the temperature of the soup inside. We also have soup containers available in white kraft paper that offers all the same benefits, but may be more suitable to take advantage of our bespoke branding service. 

Cardboard: Our cardboard soup containers are another great choice with their durable, protective and recyclable nature. They’re usually a really cost effective option too and can also be branded by our expert design team. Our larger soup containers are available in cardboard and are also suitable for other food such as noodles and curries. 

Plastic: Our plastic soup containers are sure to keep your soup dishes contained and protected in transit on the way to your customers. They’re microwave safe, recyclable and are available in a variety of sizes. 

No matter which material you opt for when it comes to your soup containers, you can rest assured that it’ll be an eco-friendly choice that your customers are sure to love. 

Soup containers are recyclable, but it depends on the type of material they’re made out of. For example, kraft paper soup containers are recyclable, as are our cardboard and plastic options. However, it’s important to take note of what plastic the soup container is made out of to determine whether it’s recyclable or not.

If the plastic soup containers are made out of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PP (Polypropylene), they are most likely recyclable and these are the most commonly used plastics in food containers. The majority of our plastic food containers are made from these recyclable materials, making them a really eco-friendly choice. 

Not all plastics are microwave safe, however there are specific plastics that are usually used for food containers that are. These plastic food containers are often marked by a symbol and potentially the phrase ‘Microwave Safe’. More often than not, your plastic soup container will be made out of microwave safe plastic such as PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) or PP (Polypropylene). That’s certainly the case here at My Packaging. 

You certainly can freeze your soup in a plastic container, however it’s important to check whether the plastic is suitable for the freezer and won’t become brittle and break. Plastic food containers made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and PP (Polypropylene) are a great choice in this regard. Our kraft paper and cardboard soup containers are a good alternative as well and are both freezer safe too.
