This will better maintain the temperature, hence customer can enjoy hotter/colder content even after long time, while hands are safe to hold on.

Advantages:

Good thermal insulation-hand can feel burning if touching stick on type one.

Superior structural integrity and stiffness for big container, for example, big size one up to 2000 ml.

Key Selection Criteria: What to Evaluate Before Buying

When you have to make a choice between the two kinds of double wall paper bowl, there are 4 points for you to consider.

Food temperature & Holding Time: If the food you are holding and serving would be very hot (near boiling) or require long holding time (over 20 min), choose hollow double wall. However, for normal warm food which is about to be eaten by consumers on the spot, stick on is fine.

Bowl size and Weight: Large portion (up to 800 ml) and hefty portion demands strong stiffness that hollow bowls can provide so as not to warp or buckle. When smaller to medium sized portions need to be packaged, stick on is the best choice.

Heat sealing lid: if you are using paper lids for sealing your bowls through heat sealing machines, double check that the machine can properly seal your bowls; sometimes hollow bowls have a slightly thicker rim.

High Quality of printing: Both kind of paper bowls allow for a high quality custom print, with names and logo. Hollow paper bowls, however, permit a full coverage wrapper around the entire outer bowl. Such print can resist from any moisture damage because the outside surface does not come into contact with moisture; hence making it perfectly for branding.
