Fruit Paper Bowl Forming Solution

Fruit paper bowls are widely used for packaging ready-to-eat fruit cuts, fruit platters, and fruit salads, especially in cold chain and retail environments. Due to the high moisture content and acidity of fruits, paper bowls must offer excellent resistance to water, juice, softening, and leakage, while maintaining strong structural integrity and clear product visibility.

1. Application Scenarios

-Supermarket cold shelves for pre-cut fruit

-Convenience stores and fresh fruit retail chains

-Fruit cups included in healthy meal sets

-Takeaway fruit platters via food delivery platforms

2. Capacity & Paper Weight Recommendations

Fruit bowls commonly range from 12oz to 24oz, suitable for individual or family-sized servings. To ensure leak resistance and cold storage compatibility, double-sided PE-coated paper is required, with the following paper weight recommendations:

✅ Double-sided PE coating is essential to prevent juice seepage, condensation softening, and to maintain the bowl’s structure in refrigerated or humid conditions.

3. Bowl Structure & Sealing

✅Rim Structure: Reinforced rolled rim recommended to improve sealing performance and lid compatibility

✅Bowl Shape: Wide-mouth and shallow bowl design allows for better visibility and easy consumption

✅Bottom Design: Flat or slightly raised bottom for stacking stability and shelf display

✅Lid Compatibility: Common lid diameters Φ115mm, Φ123mm, Φ150mm to fit standard fruit bowl sizes

4. Summary Recommendations

-Recommended Capacity: 12oz–24oz, suitable for various fruit portion sizes

-Structure: Single-wall wide-mouth bowl paired with clear lids for cold display

-Paper Choice: 260–320gsm with double PE coating for water and juice resistance

-Advantages: Leak-proof, anti-softening, high visibility, ideal for refrigerated and retail use
