Customizable 54oz/1600ml 9.84"x6.10" Deep Aluminum Foil Tray for Bulk Takeout & Freezer Storage

Deep trays like this one don't come around often. At 73mm tall, it's nearly three inches from bottom to rim. That's enough to hold a whole chicken stew, a massive portion of beef curry with rice, or two liters of soup (though remember the fold isn't watertight for thin liquids). The top opening is 9.84 by 6.10 inches – a long rectangle that fits nicely in a standard delivery backpack. Capacity is 1600ml, about 54 ounces.

What can you do with this kind of depth? A meal prep company that specializes in high-protein plans uses these for their "weekly bulk" option. They pack five chicken breasts with roasted potatoes and green beans in one tray. The customer scoops out portions over several days. The 73mm walls keep everything contained even when the tray gets knocked around in the fridge.

From a production standpoint, forming a tray this deep requires multiple drawing stages in the press. The aluminum blank gets pushed into a series of dies, each one stretching the metal a bit further. If the alloy isn't right – most factories use 3003 or 8011 – the corners will thin out and crack. That's why deep trays often cost a bit more per piece: more press time, tighter quality control. But once formed, they nest very efficiently. You can stack hundreds in a small space, which is why 500 pieces fit into a 52.5x33x33.5cm carton.

Customization options exist. You can have your logo embossed on the bottom or the side – subtle but classy. For larger orders, we can adjust the foil thickness. Lighter gauge for budget takeout, heavier for premium frozen meals that need extra puncture resistance. The cardboard lid can be printed with your brand colors, heating instructions, or a QR code for reordering.

The market for deep aluminum trays is growing, especially in North America and Europe. Why? Because more people are ordering "family size" meals from restaurants and ghost kitchens. A standard 600ml tray feels too small for two adults and two kids. 1600ml hits the right note. Also, freezer meal prep services have discovered that deep trays freeze better – the food freezes in a block, not scattered around a shallow pan.

Environmentally, aluminum has a strong story. It's infinitely recyclable, and the recycling rate for aluminum foil containers is rising. Some European countries now exceed 60% Recall rate. Compared to plastic clamshells that end up in landfills or oceans, aluminum offers a clear alternative. And because this tray is reusable – many customers wash and reuse them several times – the per-use footprint drops even further.

For B2B buyers, we offer sample trays for testing. Run them through your oven, freezer, or delivery route. See if the 73mm depth works for your recipes. We can also provide documentation for BRC, FDA, or LFGB certification if you need to satisfy your own customers.

So this deep tray isn't for everyone. If you're selling single sushi rolls, it's overkill. But if you're packing family meals, bulk meal prep, or anything that needs vertical space, it's exactly right.
