Product Description
These are standard deep-format aluminium foil containers, supplied in packs of 200 and well suited to takeaway and high-volume catering operations. With a 2.5-litre capacity and a depth of 51mm, they accommodate generous single-portion servings of sauced, stewed, or portioned dishes without risk of overflow during handling or transit.
Aluminium foil retains heat effectively between kitchen and customer, which matters in takeaway and delivery operations where food may spend time in transit before being eaten. The formed foil construction also provides reasonable resistance to leakage, making these containers a practical choice for liquid-rich dishes such as curries, casseroles, and pasta bakes where a shallower container would be unsuitable.
From an operational standpoint, these containers offer a number of practical advantages for busy kitchens:
- Ready to use with no washing or preparation required
- Recyclable aluminium construction reduces waste handling concerns
- Consistent sizing supports portion control across a service
- Compatible with standard foil lids for sealing before dispatch
- High pack quantity reduces frequency of restocking
No special storage conditions are required beyond keeping the stack flat and dry. The containers are single-use disposables, so there are no warewashing or sanitising considerations. For operations running high daily order volumes, it is worth calculating consumption rate against pack size to ensure consistent stock availability, particularly during peak trading periods.
These containers are most appropriate for takeaways, dark kitchens, event caterers, and hospitality operations that need a dependable disposable container for portioned hot meals. If your service volumes are particularly high or you require a different capacity or format, it is worth discussing your requirements with the team to confirm the right size and pack configuration for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the formed aluminium construction and 51mm depth make these containers well suited to liquid-rich dishes such as curries, casseroles, and pasta bakes. The foil forms a reasonably secure base and sides that resist leakage during normal handling and transit, though they are not designed to be watertight under pressure.
- Aluminium foil containers are generally oven-safe and are commonly used for reheating or finishing dishes in a commercial oven. However, they should not be used in a microwave without checking compatibility, as standard foil is not microwave-safe. If your operation involves microwave reheating, a different container format would be more appropriate.
- A useful starting point is to calculate your average daily covers or order volume for portioned dishes, then work out how many days of stock a single pack of 200 provides. For most busy takeaway operations, holding two to four packs in reserve helps avoid running short during a peak trading period. If you are unsure, the team can help you think through stock requirements based on your service model.
