PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 12 oz round containers suitable for packaging deli salads, dips, and sauces for retail display?
Yes, these BPA-free polypropylene (PP) containers are specifically designed for food applications. Their 12 oz (355 mL) capacity, crystal-clear or white color options, and tight-sealing 409-series lids make them ideal for grab-and-go items such as deli salads, hummus, salsa, and other cold or hot-filled foods.
Are the containers food-safe and free of BPA?
Absolutely. The T40912CP container is molded from FDA-compliant, food-grade PP that contains no BPA, ensuring safe direct contact with consumables in food processing, grocery, and food-service environments.
What temperature range can these PP containers handle?
These containers tolerate product temperatures from 20 °F (-6 °C) up to 180 °F (82 °C). They’re suitable for standard refrigeration, light freezer duty above 20 °F, room-temperature storage, and hot-fill applications that do not exceed 180 °F. Extended exposure above 180 °F or direct flame/oven use is not recommended.
Can I microwave food directly in this container?
Short, low-power reheating (below 180 °F) is generally acceptable for PP, but the container was engineered primarily for packaging and hot-fill—not full microwave cooking. Always leave the lid slightly vented and avoid repeated high-heat cycles to maintain container integrity.
Do these containers provide tamper-evident security?
No. The T40912CP container itself is non-tamper-evident. If product security is critical, pair it with a tamper-evident lid from the compatible 409-series such as L409R or L409RCP, or add an external safety band or label.
How many units are included per case and how are they packed?
Each case contains 1,000 containers, nested in 20 sleeves of 50 pieces for efficient storage, sanitation, and high-volume production line use.
Which lids fit this 12 oz 409-series container?
The container accepts any matching 409-series lid, including: L409 (standard PP), L409CP (crystal-clear PP), L409IMLCP (IML decorated), L409R (recessed), and L409RCP (recessed crystal-clear). All lids snap on firmly to create a leak-resistant seal.
Is the container recyclable or environmentally friendly?
Yes. It is made from #5 polypropylene, one of the most widely recycled food-grade resins in North America. After rinsing, most municipal recycling programs will accept it, supporting circular-economy and sustainability initiatives.
