Heavy Duty Containers & Lids 500ml 225 Pack
Single-portion main, rigid rim
The C500 sits at the rigid end of the takeaway range, designed for one-meal portions where the contents move — curry sauce, soup, stew, rice with gravy — and the rim has to hold shape whilst riders stack three or four units deep in an insulated bag. Capacity is approximately 500ml, narrower in diameter than the larger sibling C650 (650ml) plastic container set, so it fits standard 500ml meal slots without wasted headroom.

Frequently asked questions
Will a 500ml portion of curry and rice fit without overflowing the rim?
Yes — a standard single-portion curry-and-rice serve sits inside the fill line without forcing the lid.
Are the lids interchangeable with the C650 or C750 in the same range?
No — each capacity has a diameter-matched lid, so a C500 lid will not seat on a C650 or C750 base.
Can drivers stack these in a delivery bag without the rims collapsing?
Yes — the heavy-duty rim holds shape under stack pressure inside insulated delivery bags.
