Where the Rectangular Aluminum Foil Container works best
At 220×160mm with a 39mm depth, this rectangular aluminum foil container is the smallest and most used format in our rectangular range. The 39mm height is intentional — deep enough to hold a full main course portion securely, shallow enough to cool quickly for food safety compliance and to stack efficiently in delivery bags. This is the format that moves in the highest volumes in food service operations globally.
Restaurant Takeout & Delivery Platforms
The 220×160mm format is the de facto standard for single-portion mains on Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, and similar platforms. It fits inside standard delivery bags without sliding, holds pasta, rice, and stir-fry securely at 39mm depth, and stacks 4–5 filled units for multi-order runs. Read our food delivery container guide for packaging recommendations.
Airline & Rail Individual Meal Trays
Flight kitchens use this format for individual hot meal components — the 220mm length fits standard airline meal tray inserts and the 39mm depth keeps portions visible and accessible. Oven-safe for central kitchen production, then sealed and chilled for cold-chain distribution to aircraft. Read more in our airline catering container guide.
Meal Kit & Subscription Box Services
Meal kit companies portion pre-measured ingredients into individual containers for home delivery. The 1,100ml capacity holds a single-serve protein and grain combination with space to spare. Freezer-safe to −20°C — prep, seal, and freeze in the same container. Read our meal prep container guide for subscription box production tips.
Hospital & Care Home Individual Meals
Healthcare foodservice operations produce hundreds of individual portions daily. The single-serve format simplifies dietary tracking, allergen management, and HACCP compliance — one container, one patient record. The 39mm shallow depth reheats evenly in institutional ovens without hot spots. Compatible with standard meal trolley tray systems used in hospitals and care facilities.
Supermarket Ready Meal & Deli Counter
Single-serve ready meals are one of the fastest-growing supermarket categories. The 220×160mm footprint fits standard chilled shelf facings and grab-and-go display units. Film-sealed top shows food clearly. Reheats from frozen in the oven without transferring — a key consumer convenience factor for premium ready meal positioning.
Takeout Brand & Custom Packaging
Every single-portion order that leaves a restaurant is a direct brand touchpoint with one customer. At high order volumes, a branded rectangular aluminum foil container with a Pantone-matched logo creates consistent brand recall across every delivery — the highest per-impression frequency of any container format in the range. Up to 9-color printing available. See our custom container design guide and foil printing solutions.

Rectangular aluminum foil container questions
Can this container go in the oven?
Yes, safe up to 220°C. Remove plastic lids before heating. Aluminum conducts heat evenly, making it suitable for reheating from chilled or frozen.
What foods work best in this size?
Ideal for single-portion main courses: pasta, rice dishes, stir-fry, grilled proteins, and mixed meals in the 300–400g range. The 39mm depth suits drier dishes best — for high-liquid curries and stews, consider our deeper QX2 format.
Will it leak with sauces?
Excellent leak resistance with compatible lids. For high-liquid dishes, use aluminum lids crimped at all edges and fill to 85% capacity. The 39mm depth is better suited to semi-dry dishes than soups or thin sauces.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 20,000 units. Contact us for volume pricing, custom print options, and delivery schedules.
Which lid should I use?
Compatible with aluminum lids, paperboard lids, and plastic lids. For oven use, aluminum lids only. For film sealing on production lines, composite film lids are available.
Is it recyclable?
Yes, aluminum is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality. Clean containers are accepted at most municipal recycling facilities. Read more in our environmental benefits guide.
