PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 20 oz UniPak containers suitable for packaging deli salads, soups, sauces, and other prepared foods?
Yes, these BPA-free polypropylene containers are purpose-built for food processors, delis, and commissaries. Their 20 oz capacity, leak-resistant tamper-evident rim, and optional in-mold-label decoration make them ideal for wet or dry foods such as coleslaw, hummus, chili, nuts, confectionery, and more.
Are these UniPak containers safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. They are manufactured from FDA-compliant, food-grade PP that is BPA-free and odor-neutral, ensuring safe direct contact with edible products throughout processing, storage, and distribution.
What temperature range can these polypropylene containers withstand?
These PP cups tolerate fills up to roughly 180 °F (82 °C) and remain stable in chilled or freezer environments down to about 20 °F (-6 °C). They’re perfect for refrigerated or moderately hot-fill applications but are not suggested for retort processing or prolonged oven use.
Can these tamper-evident containers be frozen?
Yes. Polypropylene maintains its integrity at typical freezer temperatures. The snap-fit TE band continues to hold its seal, protecting product quality during frozen storage and distribution.
Are these 20 oz containers microwave-safe for reheating?
Short, low-to-medium-power microwave reheating is generally acceptable with PP; however, always remove the lid first, avoid dry heating, and do not exceed 180 °F to preserve container shape and safety.
How many containers come in one case?
Each case includes 500 containers, allowing high-volume food operations to streamline packaging and inventory management.
Do these containers provide good product visibility for merchandising?
Yes. They’re offered in crystal-clear option for excellent shelf appeal and quick product identification. A solid white version is also available for light-sensitive items, and all can be decorated with full-coverage IML graphics to enhance branding.
Are UniPak containers recyclable?
The containers are made from #5 PP, which is widely accepted by recycling programs throughout North America. Discard any food residue, separate the lid if locally required, and place them in the appropriate recycling stream to support sustainability initiatives.
