PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 8 oz tamper-evident square containers suitable for packaging fresh salsas, dips, and single-serve snacks?
Yes, these food-grade PP containers are purpose-built for retail and food-service packaging of items such as hummus, guacamole, deli salads, nuts, candies, and other grab-and-go snacks. Their compact 4.17" × 4.17" footprint, low 1.61" profile, and tamper-evident break-tab make them ideal for merchandising refrigerated or ambient shelf products while reassuring consumers of product integrity.
Are these 8 oz containers safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. They are manufactured from BPA-free, FDA-approved polypropylene (PP) resin, making them fully compliant for direct contact with food products in processing, storage, and distribution environments.
What temperature range can these food-grade containers withstand?
These PP containers are engineered to handle product fill temperatures from 20 °F (-6 °C) up to 180 °F (82 °C). They perform well in standard refrigeration, moderate freezer conditions, and most hot-fill applications below 180 °F, but they are not recommended for conventional oven or microwave cooking.
Can these BPA-free containers be used in freezer applications?
Yes. While PP is not as flexible as HDPE at sub-zero temperatures, these containers retain their structural integrity in typical commercial freezers down to about 20 °F (-6 °C), making them suitable for short-term frozen storage of sauces, desserts, or pre-portioned meals.
Are these tamper-evident containers suitable for hot-fill soups or sauces?
They can be hot-filled up to 180 °F (82 °C) without warping or compromising the tamper-evident seal. For products hotter than 180 °F or for prolonged hot holding, a high-heat specialty container is recommended.
How many containers come in a case?
Each master case contains 780 containers, providing an efficient pack out for medium- to high-volume food processors and co-packers.
Are these containers environmentally friendly?
The containers are molded from #5 PP, a widely recycled material accepted in many curbside programs. Their lightweight design reduces plastic usage per unit, supporting source-reduction and sustainability initiatives.
