Food-safe by design

All plastic packaging in this range is manufactured from food-grade, BPA-free material. Silicone-plastic lids stay flexible in cold-chain conditions and reseal repeatedly without splitting, while rigid 401-series lids give a tamper-evident first-open snap. Tubs and containers are freezer safe and suit deli lines, sauces, atchar, samples and repackaging.

Ordering tip

Lids and containers are sold separately so you can balance stock against actual usage – lids are typically lost or damaged at a higher rate than tubs, so most customers order lids at a 1.2:1 ratio to containers.
