Choosing the Right Container Style
Standard & Pry-Off Containers
Standard round containers pair with a snap-fit lid for everyday storage and prep. Pry-off styles use a friction-fit lid that presses firmly into place and is removed by prying, giving you a secure, reusable seal—well suited to sauces, spreads, and moist foods.
Tamper-Evident & Tamper-Resistant
Tamper-evident designs such as UniPak, SelecTE, and Crystal Seal include a visible seal or band that shows if a package has been opened—ideal for retail and delivery. Tamper-resistant cups add an extra layer of security for products where integrity matters most.
Hinged Deli Containers
Hinged Crystal Seal containers combine base and lid in one piece, so there are no mismatched lids to manage. They're a fast, tidy option for deli counters, prepared foods, and grab-and-go displays.
Portion Cups
Available in transparent and black, 1 oz and 2 oz portion cups are the workhorses of sampling, condiments, and single servings. Order lids to match and keep dressings and dips neatly contained.
What Makes a Container Food Grade?
Not every plastic container is safe for storing food. The containers in this collection are molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free resins such as polypropylene (PP) and HDPE, and are produced in certified U.S. facilities so they meet high food safety standards.
- Look for food-safe resins like PP #5 or HDPE #2
- Confirm the material is BPA-free and FDA-compliant for food contact
- Check for a smooth, clean interior with consistent wall thickness
- Match the closure—snap, pry-off, tamper-evident, or hinged—to your product
