The containers handle product temperatures from approximately 20 °F (-6 °C) up to 180 °F (82 °C). They are suitable for refrigerator storage and moderate hot-fill operations, but are not recommended for retort processing or sustained exposure above 180 °F.

Are these 68 oz containers appropriate for hot-fill products?
They can be hot-filled up to 180 °F. Allow product to cool before lidding to avoid paneling or vacuum distortion, and do not use them for microwave re-therming or any process that exceeds 180 °F.

Each case contains 300 containers. There are 12 cases per pallet, streamlining high-volume production, storage, and distribution.
What clarity and color options are available for these polypropylene containers?
The series is offered in a translucent natural option, and an opaque white option for light-sensitive applications—giving processors flexibility in merchandising and branding.
Are the containers recyclable, and do they accept standard lids?
Yes. Made from #5 PP, they are widely accepted in curbside recycling programs, supporting sustainability initiatives. They are compatible with L513 and L513RTR lids (sold separately); note that the base itself is not tamper-evident unless paired with a tamper-evident lid.
