With a 55mm depth, these inserts offer the deepest option in the 140mm insert range, making them particularly suited to soups served alongside taller or bulkier accompaniments such as bread rolls, crouton stacks, or packed garnish portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese inserts are food contact safe, suitable for hot and cold food, and compatible with Lumapack's White Soup Bowls and Kraft Soup Bowls in 24oz, 28oz, 36oz, and 42oz sizes. Each case contains 300 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e1. What Are PP Soup Bowl Inserts 140-55mm?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePP Soup Bowl Inserts are rigid polypropylene trays that sit inside a soup bowl, creating two separate zones within a single container. The lower section holds the soup or liquid dish, while the insert platform holds solid accompaniments directly above — keeping them elevated and dry until the customer is ready to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 140-55mm specification refers to the top diameter (140mm) and the depth (55mm) of the insert. At 55mm, this is the deepest insert in Lumapack's 140mm range, offering more vertical clearance than the 35mm and 40mm alternatives. This makes the 140-55mm insert the right choice where the accompaniment portion is taller or where more separation between liquid and solid is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear polypropylene material allows customers to see the soup beneath the insert, supports a clean presentation, and is designed to maintain its shape when placed in hot food environments. Inserts are compatible with the full range of Lumapack PP Soup Bowl Lids 140mm, allowing the complete soup bowl, insert, and lid combination to be sealed for takeaway and delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e2. Typical Foodservice Uses for PP Soup Bowl Inserts 140-55mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese inserts are designed for foodservice operators who serve soup as a complete meal or premium dish and need to maintain presentation quality during packing and transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommon applications include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChunky soups with bread accompaniments\u003c\/strong\u003e where a tall bread roll, thick bread slice, or large crouton portion needs to remain dry and elevated above the soup base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroth-based dishes with toppings\u003c\/strong\u003e such as ramen, pho, and Asian noodle soups where noodle blocks, protein portions, or garnish clusters are served above the liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium soup courses\u003c\/strong\u003e offered by restaurants, food-to-go counters, and catering operations where the presentation of accompaniments as a separate element adds perceived value\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery-led soup menus\u003c\/strong\u003e where maintaining the integrity of dry or textured components during transit is essential to product quality on arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeal-prep and catering packs\u003c\/strong\u003e where standardised plating across a large number of portions is required, and the insert provides a consistent format for accompaniment portioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 55mm depth makes this insert particularly well-suited to food formats where a shallower insert would not adequately separate the components, or where the accompaniment needs to sit cleanly above the rim of the soup bowl when filled to standard capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e3.

The correct depth to select depends on the height of the accompaniment being served. Where accompaniments are flat or compact, the 35mm or 40mm inserts may be sufficient. The 55mm insert is the right choice where taller accompaniments or a larger volume of dry components need to remain fully elevated above the liquid portion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e6.
