PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 48 oz buckets suitable for packaging deli salads, soups, and other prepared foods?
Yes. The 48 oz polypropylene (PP) buckets are food-grade and BPA-free, making them ideal for a wide range of prepared foods—deli salads, soups, sauces, and desserts. Their round 6.43" diameter design provides ample surface area for labeling while the 3.68" height allows efficient stacking in coolers or merchandisers.
Are these polypropylene buckets safe for direct food contact and completely BPA-free?
Absolutely. These containers are molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free PP resin, ensuring they are safe for direct contact with food products in commercial kitchens, commissaries, and retail grab-and-go programs.
What temperature range can these food-grade buckets handle?
The buckets tolerate product temperatures from about 20 °F (-6 °C) up to 180 °F (82 °C). They perform well in standard refrigeration, moderate freezer environments, and most hot-fill operations below 180 °F but are not intended for retort sterilization, oven baking, or microwaving.
Can these BPA-free buckets be used for hot-fill applications?
Yes. Polypropylene’s heat resistance lets you hot-fill products such as soups, sauces, or fruit fillings up to 180 °F. Allow the product to cool before lidding for best seal integrity, and avoid temperatures that exceed the 180 °F maximum.
Do these buckets include a handle for easy carrying?
They feature a sturdy snap-in plastic handle that makes carrying 48 oz of product comfortable for staff and consumers alike. The handle also improves shelf takeaway for retail applications.
How many buckets come in a case, and how many cases fit on a pallet?
Each case contains 200 buckets. Packs are arranged 12 cases per pallet.
Which lids are compatible with this 48 oz 607-series bucket?
The container accepts L607, L607DS, and L607RTR lids (sold separately). Choose the standard L607 for general use, the L607DS for a drip-seal configuration, or the L607RTR when a recessed tamper-resistant profile is desired.
Is custom printing or labeling available on these containers?
Yes. The bucket supports dry-offset decoration across its 8 side panels, allowing multi-color graphics, logos, nutritional panels, or barcode information to be printed directly onto the container for a premium branded appearance.
