Noodle Boxes Ireland: 16oz & 26oz Spiritpak Sizes & Wholesale Buying Guide
Chinese, Thai, Japanese and multi-cuisine takeaways across Ireland need a tall carton that holds noodles, rice and stir-fries without tipping — and that folds shut for delivery. PrintNPack stocks plain Spiritpak white heat-barrier round-base noodle boxes in two sizes under Noodle Containers, with case pricing and dispatch from Ashbourne to Dublin, Cork, Galway and nationwide.
This guide covers the 16oz and 26oz sizes, how the case packs work, when to choose noodle boxes over soup cups or kraft bowls, and how plain wholesale restocking fits Irish Asian kitchens. For the wider plain range, see our plain packaging wholesale Ireland overview.
Who buys noodle boxes in Ireland?
The Noodle Containers category is built for kitchens that portion hot Asian and multi-cuisine mains into a fold-flap carton every service. Typical buyers include Chinese and Thai takeaways on Dublin and Cork high streets, Japanese and noodle lunch counters in food courts, multi-cuisine kitchens that run stir-fries beside curry and pizza, and catering teams packing noodle portions for events across Galway and the wider counties.
If your busiest line is broth that needs a sealed lid, start with soup containers instead. If the dish sells on visible toppings under a clear lid, look at kraft bowls. Choose noodle boxes when the service standard is a white round-base carton with fold-over flaps — the format Irish customers already expect for many noodle and rice takeaways.
Spiritpak noodle box sizes at a glance
Both lines are plain white, round-base, fold-flap cartons sold as Spiritpak heat-barrier noodle boxes. The round base sits stably on counters and in delivery bags; the tapered body and top flaps close without a separate lid SKU. They share the same pack format — 10 × 50 per case (500 boxes) — so you only need to choose the fill size that matches your menu.
Product codes are 120058 for 16oz and 120059 for 26oz — useful when reordering from an existing Ashbourne account or matching a previous case label on the dry-store shelf.
| Size | Case pack | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 16oz Spiritpak white noodle box | 10 × 50 per case (500) | Lunch noodles, lighter stir-fries, side rice portions |
| 26oz Spiritpak white noodle box | 10 × 50 per case (500) | Full noodle mains, large rice boxes, delivery stir-fries |
16oz vs 26oz — which size should Irish kitchens stock?
The 16oz Spiritpak white noodle box suits lighter lunch noodles, smaller rice portions and weekday specials where customers do not need a full dinner fill. Cork lunch counters and Dublin food-court spots often burn 16oz faster than 26oz during the day.
The 26oz Spiritpak white noodle box is the fuller main — large noodle bowls, mixed rice boxes and evening delivery stir-fries. Galway and Dublin night kitchens usually keep 26oz as the primary SKU and add 16oz only when the menu needs a smaller step.
Most Irish operators start with one size they will empty weekly, then add the second when portion mixes justify two cartons on the shelf. Holding both without a clear use case ties up cash and dry-store space.
A practical stock plan for many single-site takeaways is one open case of the primary size on the make line, one sealed spare case in the dry store, and a reorder trigger before Friday peaks. Multi-site groups often standardise on 26oz across kitchens so staff training and portion scoops stay consistent, then allow 16oz only where a lunch menu truly needs it.
Noodle boxes vs soup cups, kraft bowls and biobox
Noodle boxes are a fold-flap carton format — chopsticks-friendly, tall, and closed without a separate lid SKU. That is different from Spiritpak soup containers, which pair cups with paper or plastic lids for broths and wetter soups.
Round kraft bowls with PET lids suit poke, salad and presentation where customers see the food through a clear lid. Use kraft bowls when the look of the dish sells the order; use noodle boxes when a white carton and fold-over flaps are the standard for Asian delivery.
Biobox containers cover kraft meal-box footprints for mixed takeaway formats. Many multi-cuisine kitchens in Dublin stock noodle boxes for stir-fries, soup cups for broths, and biobox or kraft bowls for other lines — one Ashbourne order can cover all three.
Plain wholesale vs branded packaging
These noodle boxes are plain wholesale — unprinted white Spiritpak stock with no logo. That keeps MOQ at a case and restocking fast for Ashbourne collection or nationwide dispatch. Branding usually sits on the outer bag, napkin or sticker rather than on every carton.
For everyday Asian delivery, plain noodle boxes plus a branded SOS grab bag or kraft carrier is the usual Irish mix. Save custom print budget for high-visibility outer packaging, not every lunch carton.
Case packs, MOQ and how pricing works
Noodle boxes are sold by the case with four-tier volume pricing — more cases lower the price per case. There is no custom-print MOQ on these plain lines. Both 16oz and 26oz pack 10 × 50 (500 boxes) per case.
Always check the live tier table on each product in Noodle Containers. We do not reprint one-off unit rates here because case tiering is how wholesale pricing works. A single-site takeaway often starts on 1–3 cases of 26oz; multi-site groups consolidate 16oz and 26oz into higher tiers on one Ashbourne order.
What to order alongside noodle boxes
- Soup containers for broths and wet sides that need a cup and lid
- Round kraft bowls for poke, salad and clear-lid presentation
- Wooden cutlery — chopsticks and forks packed with noodle deliveries
- SOS grab bags for sealed carry-out of filled noodle boxes
- Portion pots for sauces and dips packed beside the main carton
Pairing noodle boxes, soup cups, cutlery and carriers on one dispatch keeps Dublin and nationwide kitchens stocked before Friday and Saturday peaks.
Delivery across Ireland from Ashbourne
PrintNPack is based in Ashbourne, Co. Meath — convenient for Dublin and Meath collections, with nationwide dispatch for Cork, Galway, Limerick and every other county. Plain noodle box orders move quickly because they are warehouse stock, not made-to-print jobs. Local buyers who can collect often combine noodle boxes with soup cups, grab bags and cutlery on one Ashbourne pickup.
Weekend Asian takeaway demand in Dublin and Cork is where stockouts hurt most — empty 26oz cases on a Saturday night mean improvised packaging and slower packing. Plan case counts around your busiest two nights, not a quiet Tuesday average.
UK or Europe shipping is only confirmed case-by-case on request; this guide focuses on Irish wholesale delivery, which is the core service for these Noodle Containers lines.
