The square geometry maximizes shelf and tray space efficiency compared to round containers at the same volume. At 43mm deep, it handles layered dishes, baked goods with rise, and sauced sides without overflow.

Where this square aluminum foil container works best
The QXS10’s 112×112mm footprint is the standard individual side dish square. It is large enough for a full side portion, and compact enough to fit alongside a main on a restaurant plate or delivery tray. At 420ml, it holds a generous individual portion of rice, roasted vegetables, mashed potato, or a baked dessert without appearing undersized. The square format also uses tray space more efficiently than round containers — four square containers tile perfectly with no wasted space between them. Need a smaller format? See the QXS9 small square container. A full size overview is available in our aluminum container sizes guide.
Restaurant Individual Side Dishes
Restaurants serving hot side dishes — roasted potatoes, mac and cheese, creamed spinach, rice pilaf — use this square aluminum foil container to portion, bake, and serve in the same vessel. At 112×112mm, it fits alongside a main course plate without dominating the table. The 43mm depth handles 2–3 layers for gratin-style sides. Retrieval of side dish bowls after service is eliminated, which matters at high volume. The square presentation reads as modern compared to standard round side bowls. See our restaurant container guide.
Individual Baked Desserts
The 112×112mm square base is the correct footprint for a generous individual baked dessert — a deep brownie square, a clafoutis, a baked cheesecake portion, or an individual tiramisu. With 43mm depth, there is enough volume for a proper bake with a meaningful top layer, whether that is a crumble topping, a ganache layer, or a fruit compote. This square aluminum foil container goes oven-to-table without transfer, and the square geometry creates a clean, modern dessert presentation. Oven safe to 220°C. See our baking temperature guide.
Takeout Side Dish Format
Takeout and delivery operations packaging individual side dishes use this square aluminum foil container as a standalone side — chips, coleslaw, rice, salad — that travels alongside a main container. The 112×112mm square fits neatly in standard delivery bags and boxes alongside the main container without shifting. Compared to plastic side containers, aluminum retains heat significantly better during a 20–40 minute delivery window. Compatible with aluminum lids for hot sides and film lids for cold. See our food delivery container guide.
Retail Snack & Deli Portions
Supermarket deli and snack sections use the square aluminum foil container for portion-pack products — olives, hummus, taramasalata, prepared salads, and cold deli sides. At 420ml, the QXS10 holds a standard individual deli portion. The square format stacks efficiently in refrigerator bays and on shelf displays. Film lids provide airtight chilled sealing with full print coverage for labelling. The aluminum container communicates a premium tier above standard plastic deli pots at the same price point. See our custom container design guide.
Meal Prep Individual Components
Meal prep operations packaging individual components use this square aluminum foil container for portioned sides — a rice portion, a vegetable side, a sauce-based component — that can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated directly in the container. At 420ml, one QXS10 holds a standard individual side portion for one meal. The freeze-to-oven capability eliminates transfer steps. For a smaller sauce component format, the QXS9 small square container at 250ml is the complementary format. Read our meal prep container guide.
Premium Brand Individual Portion Packaging
A premium brand using this square aluminum foil container for a signature side dish or artisan dessert is choosing a format that communicates precision and intentionality — the clean geometry of a square container reads as considered design rather than standard catering ware. The four sides and base of the 112×112mm container provide complete brand print coverage. Compared to round ramekins or plastic deli pots, the square aluminum format occupies a clearly differentiated visual position in both retail and food service contexts. Up to 9-color Pantone printing available. See our foil printing solutions.

Square Aluminum Foil Container questions
What is the difference between QXS10 and QXS9?
QXS10 (112×112mm, 43mm, 420ml) is larger and deeper than QXS9 (90×90mm, 38mm, 250ml). For full individual side dishes, generous dessert portions, and deli retail formats, QXS10 is the right choice. QXS9 works better for sauce portions, compact airline sides, and smaller dessert formats.
What foods work best in this square aluminum foil container?
Best for roasted side dishes, baked desserts, deli portions, and individual snack products. Brownie squares, gratin portions, rice sides, and hummus pots all suit the 112×112mm square base. At 43mm depth, layered dishes and baked goods with rise are also well supported.
Can I use this square aluminum foil container in a home oven?
Yes, oven safe to 220°C (428°F). The 112×112mm format fits easily in any domestic or commercial oven. Remove lids before baking. Do not use in microwave. Place on a baking sheet for stability when full.
What lids fit the QXS10 square aluminum foil container?
112×112mm aluminum lids for hot-hold and oven use. Film lids for chilled retail and deli display — these are recommended for cold deli portions and ambient sauce products requiring airtight sealing.
How much food fits in the 420ml square container?
Fill to 345ml (82%) for solid baked dishes and roasted sides. For sauced dishes and layered desserts, 315ml (75%) is the safer fill level. Leave at least 8mm from the rim during baking to prevent overflow.
