Frequently Bought Together
8 OZ. BPA-FREE ROUND CONTAINER
Sized for single-serve portions and grab-and-go merchandising, the T40908CP container delivers reliable food protection in a compact 8-ounce format. The crystal-clear polypropylene construction showcases fresh products while remaining tough enough to handle temperatures from 20 °F up to 180 °F without warping or leaching.
Its smooth, eight-panel round wall is ideal for custom graphics via dry-offset, IML, or pressure-sensitive labels, helping brands stand out on crowded shelves. Pair it with matching L409-series lids for a tamper-evident, leak-resistant seal that keeps sauces, salsas, deli sides, desserts, and meal-prep portions fresher for longer.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 8 oz containers safe for direct food contact?
Yes. These polypropylene (PP) cups are molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free resin that is specifically rated for direct food contact, making them ideal for dips, sauces, deli items, and other ready-to-eat foods.
What temperature range can these food-grade containers withstand?
The cups remain dimensionally stable from approximately 20 °F (-6 °C) up to 180 °F (82 °C). They’re well suited to refrigerated and most hot-fill applications below 180 °F, but they are not intended for retort processing, boiling liquids, or sustained microwave cooking.
Can these BPA-free containers be used in the freezer?
They will perform reliably in standard refrigeration and short-term blast-chill environments; however, prolonged storage below 20 °F may make polypropylene brittle. For long-term deep-freeze applications, a HDPE or clarified PP option is generally recommended.
How many containers come in a case?
Each master case contains 1,500 individual 8 oz containers.
Do these 8 oz cups come with lids?
Lids are sold separately. Compatible closures include the L409 series (L409, L409CP, L409IMLCP, L409R, and L409RCP), allowing you to choose from standard snap-fit, in-mold-label, or tamper-resistant tear-tab options.
Are these round containers tamper-evident?
The base container itself is not tamper-evident, but when paired with the L409R or L409RCP tear-tab lid, you gain a clear tamper-evident seal that consumers can easily recognize.
Are these polypropylene cups recyclable?
Yes. They are manufactured from #5 PP plastic, which is accepted by many curbside and commercial recycling programs. Choosing polypropylene supports circular packaging goals and helps reduce environmental impact when recycled properly.
