Containers with Lids is the cloud-kitchen reorder workhorse — leakproof bagasse containers in round, oval, and rectangular formats from 250 ml to 1500 ml. The headline SKUs are the leakproof round 500 ml, 750 ml and 1000 ml — built specifically for curries, biryani, dal makhani, and other gravy-heavy dishes where a single drop of seepage during delivery is a returned order on Swiggy or Zomato.
Leakproof vs non-leakproof: the leakproof variants have a tighter rim engagement with the matching bagasse lid (4-hour standing-water rated) at a slight cost premium. For saucy items always pick leakproof. For dry items (curd rice, chowmein, rice without gravy), the standard round container at 15% lower cost is fine.
Lids are sold separately in the Lids & Accessories category — the compatible_lids cross-sell on each container PDP shows the matching SKU. Common pairs: 500 ml + 750 ml round share the same lid (500-750 ml round-container lid). The 750 ml rectangular has its own dedicated rectangular lid.
Made by manufacturing partners certified for FDA food-contact compliance, BPI, EN 13432 and ISO 22000; PFAS-free per manufacturer test reports. Microwave-safe (remove lid) at 700–1000 W for 3 minutes. HSN 4823 at 18% GST.
Bagasse container vs disposable plastic vs PE-coated paper
| Dimension | Disposable plastic | PE-coated paper | Bagasse (PulpyWare) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Petroleum-derived virgin polymer | Virgin paper + polyethylene plastic liner | Sugarcane juice residue — agri-waste, no virgin pulp |
| Compostability | Never composts — 450+ years to break down | Paper rots, PE liner persists as microplastic | ~90 days in commercial composting; longer at home |
| PFAS / forever-chemicals | None added (uses plastic itself) | Many brands use PFAS for oil/grease repellency | PFAS-free per our manufacturers' test reports |
| Microwave safety | Most plastic deforms above 80 °C | PE liner can leach plasticisers when heated | Tested at 700–1000 W for 3 minutes — fibre stays inert |
| Oil & sauce hold | Excellent (it IS plastic) | Excellent — but at the cost of the lining | Excellent for 1 hour — natural fibre absorbs no oil |
| End-of-life | Landfill or ocean — non-degradable | Not recyclable (lined paper isn't accepted in most MRFs) | Backyard compost, municipal organics, or biogas |

Frequently asked questions
Are leakproof containers actually leakproof for gravy delivery?
Yes — our manufacturers specify water and oil resistance for the length of a meal when paired with the matching bagasse lid. For a typical 30-60 minute delivery window with dal, biryani gravy or curry, leakage rate in field testing is sub-1%.
When can I save money with non-leakproof containers?
Dry food — curd rice, chowmein, fried rice without curry, snacks, dessert. Anything that wouldn't seep through a paper bag is fine in a non-leakproof container. Saucy food always needs leakproof.
Which lid fits the 500 ml container?
The 500 ml leakproof round and 750 ml leakproof round share the 500-750 ml round-container lid (same rim diameter). The 500 ml oval has its own dedicated oval-container lid. The 650 ml and 750 ml rectangular containers pair with the rectangular 750 ml lid. Each PDP lists compatible lids inline.
Can I microwave a container with food in it?
Yes — remove the lid first, then microwave 3 minutes at 700–1000 W. Putting the lid on while microwaving traps steam and degrades the seal. For reheating with steam retention, use a clamshell instead.
What's the carton-per-piece for the 500 ml leakproof?
1,000 pieces per carton. The 1000 ml leakproof ships 600 per carton. Carton counts are shown on each PDP — they matter for HORECA reorder planning.
