BRC Certified 2oz/60ml 3.1"x2.3" Gold Oval Foil Container for Sauce Portion & Condiment Serving

This 60ml gold oval container measures 79 by 58 millimeters at the opening, which is about 3.1 by 2.3 inches. The depth is 26 millimeters. That makes it roughly the size of a large egg. Small, yes. But in food packaging, small sizes solve big problems. A hot sauce brand in Louisiana uses these for their "sample pack" – six different sauces, each in its own gold oval, packed in a branded box. Customers try all six, then buy full bottles. The gold color makes the sauces look premium, not like free samples from a takeout joint.

The oval shape matters here. A round cup of the same volume has a smaller opening, which makes it harder to dip a chip or a spoon into. A rectangular cup has corners that trap sauce. The oval gives you a wide opening without wasted space. A caterer who does "sauce flights" for BBQ competitions uses these. They fill one with vinegar-based sauce, one with mustard sauce, one with sweet molasses. Judges dip, taste, and move on. The oval shape fits in a standard tasting spoon.

For sealing, you have two options. The plastic snap lid is included with this model. It clips onto the rim tightly and works well for thick sauces, dips, or dry condiments. For thin liquids like chili oil or soy sauce, you can use a heat seal foil lid instead (sold separately). The rim is designed to work with both. A ramen shop that delivers tonkotsu broth uses the heat seal version for their garlic chili oil side. No leaks. No complaints.

The gold lacquer on this container serves a practical purpose beyond looks. Standard silver aluminum can react with acidic foods like tomato sauce or vinegar-based hot sauce, causing discoloration and a metallic taste. The gold coating acts as a barrier [7†L4-L6]. A pickle company that makes spicy pickled okra tested both silver and gold containers. The silver ones showed pitting after two weeks. The gold ones didn't.

Packing is 1000 pieces per carton. Carton size is 25 x 24.5 x 18cm. That's a small box – easy to store under a prep table or slide into a delivery van. The plastic lids are included in the same carton.

One coffee shop chain uses these for their "condiment bar" – not for customers, but for their own staff. They fill the gold ovals with flavored syrups for drink testing. Each oval holds exactly one shot of syrup. The gold color helps baristas grab the right flavor quickly. The oval shape fits in a standard speed rail. The chain says they reduced syrup waste by 40 percent.

Recycling is straightforward. The tray is aluminum. The plastic lid is PET or PP, recyclable in most areas. If you need a 100 percent aluminum package, use the heat seal foil lid instead.

So if you are packaging hot sauce samples, BBQ sauce flights, or chili oil sides, this 60ml gold oval is a smart fit. It's small, it's oval, and it holds exactly what a customer needs without wasting space.
