Deep Wall 57.5oz/1700ml 7" Round Gold Foil Container for Bulk Soup Base & Giant Party Platter

Ninety seven millimeters deep. That’s almost four inches. You could submerge a can of soda in this bowl and it would disappear. The diameter is still 7 inches, so it doesn’t take up more counter space than a dinner plate. But the volume – 1700ml – is enough to hold a whole gallon of milk with room to spare. This isn’t for a lunch portion. This is for a restaurant’s soup of the day batch, a Halloween party punch bowl, or a family’s worth of frozen borscht.

A soup café in Portland uses these as their “take home gallon” containers. They fill with tomato bisque, heat seal a film lid, and sell them for $18. Customers reheat the whole bowl on the stove – the aluminum conducts heat perfectly, so the soup doesn’t scorch. The owner told us that selling soup by the bowl (450ml) was fine, but selling by the “gold bucket” increased average ticket by 40%. People love the idea of having restaurant soup at home for multiple meals.

The 97mm depth requires a multi stage draw during manufacturing. A standard press can’t go that deep in one hit. The aluminum coil goes through three or four dies, each pushing the walls a bit deeper. That’s why the lead time for deep containers is sometimes longer. But the result is a tray with even wall thickness – no thin spots at the bottom. The gold lacquer is applied before forming, so it stretches with the metal without cracking.

You have foil and plastic lid options. The foil lid gets crimped by hand. At this size, crimping takes a bit more finger strength, but it’s doable. The plastic lid snaps on – easier for high volume. Neither is heat seal, but the rim is compatible with sealer machines if you want a leakproof closure for liquids. Most buyers of this deep bowl use it for semi liquids like stews, chili, or thick soups.

Packing is 500 pieces per carton. The carton is 37.5 x 36 x 37.5cm – a cube. The trays nest deeply, so 500 of these take up about the same space as 1000 shallower trays.

One unusual application: a microbrewery uses these as “growler substitutes” for hot mulled wine during Christmas markets. They fill with spiced wine, seal with a foil lid, and sell them to customers who want to take the warmth home. The gold color fits the festive season. The brewery sells out every year.

Recycling is fine. The deep shape might be bulky in a home recycling bin, but commercial recyclers bale them flat.

So if you’re running a soup café, a brewery, or any business that needs to package large volumes of liquid or semi liquid food, this 1700ml deep gold bowl is your friend. It’s deep, it’s gold, and it makes your customers feel like they’re taking home a treasure.
