340×188mm · 2,300ml capacity · Long narrow smooth wall format for elongated foods and side-by-side plating
The long-format container for bread, baguettes, and elongated mains
QXS7 (340×188×44mm / 2,300ml) is a long rectangular smooth wall container for bread portions, sandwich platters, and elongated mains. Compared with QXS8 (378×188×44mm / 2,700ml), it has the same 188mm outer width and 44mm height, but a 38mm shorter outer length. Choose between them by checking the food layout, lid clearance, and available packing space. The 340×188mm measurement is the top-out size, not guaranteed usable interior space. Oven safe to 220°C; freezer safe to −20°C.

Where this wide aluminum foil container works best
QXS7 (340×188×44mm / 2,300ml) and QXS8 (378×188×44mm / 2,700ml) are both elongated rectangles, not square pans. QXS7 offers the shorter outer footprint; QXS8 adds 38mm of outer length at the same width and height. The listed QXS7 bottom dimensions are 279×151mm. These are not a verified internal-clearance measurement: request the drawing or trial a sample at the height where the food sits. For a full overview of the smooth wall range, see our smooth wall container wholesale guide.
Bread, Baguettes & Garlic Loaves
For bread portions and garlic loaves, measure the finished product rather than assuming a standard baguette length. A 340mm loaf is not guaranteed to fit a pan with a 340mm top-out length. Check usable length and width where the bread rests, then close the intended lid to check compression and clearance. For bake-and-deliver programs, trial the actual recipe and packaging sequence before approving the container. See our commercial bakery container guide.
Sandwich & Sub Platters
For catering and event food service, trial cut sandwiches or sub portions in a single layer. The 188mm dimension is the outer width, so it does not guarantee that two sandwich halves fit side by side. Check the prepared portions against the usable interior and close the intended lid to confirm that fillings and toppings are not compressed. Read our catering container guide.
Elongated Roasts & Rack Cuts
For rib sections, pork belly strips, or elongated mains, QXS7 (340×188×44mm / 2,300ml) offers a longer outer footprint than QXS3 (220×149×43mm / 1,200ml). Compare top-out length and width first, then check internal clearance. Trial the actual cut with space for sauces, handling, and the intended lid. The 44mm height does not guarantee spill-free filling or prevent scorching; verify the recipe, fill level, and oven setup. See our baking temperature guide.
Buffet Line Pasta & Side Dishes
For buffet pasta, fajita mixes, and stir-fry sides, assess serving layout and practical fill level using the actual food. The listed 2,300ml capacity does not establish portion count or compatibility with a GN opening. Before hot holding, confirm the equipment opening, rim support, loaded stability, and heat-source arrangement with the equipment supplier. Follow that equipment’s operating instructions, including any required water pan; oven suitability alone does not establish chafer compatibility. See our catering container guide.
Meal Prep Long-Format Mains
Subscription meal prep operations use the QXS7 for long-format mains — sliced protein with sauce, grain salads with elongated vegetable cuts, or two-protein side-by-side arrangements — where the food presentation benefits from a landscape orientation. Freezer-stable at −20°C. Read our meal prep container guide.
Premium Brand Side-by-Side Plating
The QXS7’s elongated smooth wall surface suits a split-label or two-panel print design — one half for branding, one half for product information — that uses the container’s landscape format deliberately. For premium prepared meal brands, side-by-side plating (protein left, carb right, sauce centre) photographed in the container becomes a product image asset, not just packaging. Up to 9-color Pantone printing available. See our custom container design guide and foil printing solutions.

Wide Aluminum Foil Container questions
What foods work best in the wide 340mm container?
Consider bread portions, garlic loaves, rib sections, and sandwich platters that benefit from a long rectangular layout. Trial the actual food in the container with the intended lid. The 340mm outer length and 188mm outer width are not guaranteed usable interior dimensions. Buffet applications also require an equipment-fit and support check.
What is the difference between QXS7 and QXS8?
QXS7 (340×188×44mm / 2,300ml) and QXS8 (378×188×44mm / 2,700ml) share the same outer width and height. QXS8 is 38mm longer, not wider or more square. Compare the actual food layout, internal clearance, lid, and packing space before choosing; their listed capacities do not establish a safe load weight.
Can I use this container in a steam table or chafing dish?
Do not assume a standard fit from the 340×188mm outer dimensions. Confirm the opening, rim support, loaded stability, and heating arrangement for the exact equipment and tray configuration. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions, including its water-pan requirements. The stated oven limit is not a steam-table operating temperature or proof of compatibility. Do not use in microwave.
How much food goes in the 2,300ml wide container?
The listed capacity is 2,300ml, not a validated working fill for every recipe. Establish the fill level with the actual food, sauce, lid, and handling sequence, leaving the clearance needed for closure and spill control. Confirm the agreed fill and packed weight during sample approval rather than relying on a universal percentage.
What lids fit the 340×188mm container?
340×188mm aluminum lids for buffet and steam table service. Clear film lids are also available for delivery and display use.
Is this wide aluminum foil container safe for hot food?
Yes, FDA approved food-grade aluminum is safe for hot foods. For acidic foods like tomato-based sauces, avoid storing more than 48 hours in the container.
