Heavy Duty 30oz/900ml 7.7"x5.7" Silver Foil Tray for Family Casserole & Party Side Dish

This tray is 7.7 inches long, 5.7 inches wide, and 2.2 inches deep. That depth matters – 2.2 inches is deeper than most takeout trays, which means it can hold a full family size casserole or a generous portion of baked ziti without overflowing. Capacity is 900ml, about 30 ounces. Weight is 8 grams, so it’s sturdy enough for hot food but light enough to keep shipping costs low.

The rim is crimpable. You fold it over a cardboard or plastic lid by hand. No heat sealer needed. That said, it’s not leakproof for thin soups – the fold can handle thick sauces like marinara or alfredo, but not broth. One customer uses these for their frozen lasagna line. They fill, freeze, then send them out with a cardboard lid. The end user pops it straight into the oven at 180°C. Works fine.

Packaging is 1000 pieces per carton. Carton size is 64 x 32.5 x 41cm. That’s a bit larger than smaller trays, but it stacks well on a pallet. Available lids are cardboard or plastic – both fit the crimpable rim. The plastic lid gives a tighter seal for wetter dishes, though still not 100% for soup.

Why would a restaurant pick this 900ml size? Because it hits the sweet spot between single serving and full hotel pan. A BBQ joint uses them for their family size pulled pork. A meal prep service uses them for two portions of chicken and rice. The 5.7 inch width fits nicely in a standard lunch bag, and the 2.2 inch depth prevents sauce from splashing onto the lid.

From a production standpoint, aluminum foil containers like this are made on high speed presses. The 8 gram weight means it’s a midgauge foil – not too flimsy, not too thick. Thicker foil would add cost and weight. Thinner foil would risk tearing when folding. This weight strikes a balance.

Recycling is straightforward. Clean off food residue, toss it in the bin. Aluminum recycles forever without losing quality. Many cities accept foil trays in curbside recycling. For a business looking to reduce plastic, this is an easy swap.

So whether you’re packing family casseroles, party sides, or frozen ready meals, this 7.7x5.7 inch tray gets the job done. Fold the rim, add a lid, and send it out.
