PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 12 oz SelecTE square containers appropriate for deli, snack, or grab-and-go retail packaging?
Yes, these 12 oz PP SelecTE containers are purpose-built for retail food applications such as dips, cut fruit, salads, nuts, and confectionery items. Their crystal-clear or white polypropylene walls, eight-panel in-mold-label (IML) decoration option, and tamper-evident tear-tab provide an eye-catching, shelf-ready package that keeps your product secure until the consumer opens it.
Are these containers safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. The containers are molded from BPA-free, FDA-compliant food-grade polypropylene, making them suitable for direct contact with a wide variety of foods, including high-acid and dairy products.
What temperature range can these 4 × 4 series containers tolerate?
These polypropylene containers can withstand hot-fill temperatures up to approximately 180 °F (82 °C) and remain functional down to about 20 °F (-6 °C). They are ideal for ambient and refrigerated distribution but are not intended for deep-freezing below 20 °F or for oven use.
Can I store product in these containers in a standard commercial freezer?
Light freezer duty down to 20 °F is acceptable, but long-term storage in sub-zero warehouse freezers or blast-freezers is not recommended. For applications that require colder temperatures, a container specifically engineered for deep-freeze service would be more appropriate.
Are these BPA-free containers suitable for microwave heating or very hot liquids?
They can handle hot fills up to 180 °F, which covers most soups, sauces, or cooked foods after brief cooling. However, they are not designed for microwave cooking, re-thermalization, or continuous exposure to boiling liquids. Always verify your specific process conditions with a line trial.
How many containers and lids come in a case?
Each case contains 720 containers. Matching tamper-evident snap-fit lids (code L4X4IMLCP) are sold separately in compatible case quantities for easy ordering.
Do these square containers provide good product visibility?
Yes. The Clear and Trans options offer excellent clarity for product display, while the White option provides an opaque backdrop for colorful IML graphics. All three color choices accept high-resolution in-mold labels on eight printable panels to maximize branding real estate.
Are these polypropylene containers recyclable or eco-friendly?
The containers are made from #5 PP, one of the most widely recycled food-service plastics in North America. After use, consumers can rinse and place them in PP recycling streams, supporting circular-economy initiatives and reducing landfill waste.
