PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 48 oz square tamper-evident containers suitable for packaging deli salads, sauces, and prepared meals?
Yes, their 48 oz (roughly 1.5 qt / 1.4 L) capacity, square footprint, and 8-panel design make them ideal for hearty deli salads, family-size entrées, soups, and other grab-and-go foods that benefit from maximum shelf presence and portion control.
Are these 48 oz containers safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. They are molded from food-grade polypropylene (PP) that meets FDA requirements for direct contact with food, making them suitable for production, storage, and retail display.
What temperature range can these polypropylene containers handle?
The containers tolerate hot fills and reheating up to 180 °F (82 °C) and remain functional down to about 20 °F (-6 °C). They’re excellent for room-temperature and refrigerated items, but extended deep-freeze applications below 20 °F are not recommended.
Can these tamper-evident containers go in the freezer?
They can withstand light freezer use at or just below 20 °F; however, for long-term storage in standard commercial freezers (0 °F / ‑18 °C), a container designed for deep-freeze service would be a better choice.
Are these polypropylene containers microwave-safe?
Polypropylene’s thermal resistance up to 180 °F allows microwave reheating of chilled foods. Avoid high-oil or high-sugar formulations that may exceed this temperature, and never microwave with the tamper band still intact.
How many containers are included in one case?
Each case contains 324 containers, providing an efficient pack for mid- to high-volume food processors and commissaries.
How clear is the polypropylene material on these containers?
The PP base offers excellent contact clarity—items remain easily visible—while the in-mold label (IML) decoration option delivers vibrant 360° graphics without compromising transparency on the clear panels.
Are these 48 oz containers recyclable or eco-friendly?
They are produced from recyclable #5 polypropylene, which is increasingly accepted in curbside and commercial recycling streams, supporting sustainability initiatives when properly recycled.
