OEM Factory 118oz/3500ml 13"x9.06" Gold Foil Container for Catering Pasta & Bulk Chili

A 13 by 9 inch tray is a familiar sight in any home kitchen. That’s the standard baking dish size for brownies, lasagna, and casseroles. This gold tray is exactly that footprint – 330mm by 230mm – but with a 60mm depth. That extra wall height turns a family baking dish into a catering workhorse. Volume is 3500ml, enough for a double batch of mac and cheese or a full hotel pan’s worth of chili.

A church kitchen in Ohio uses these for their weekly community dinner. They cook 15 gallons of chili in a tilt skillet, then portion into these gold trays. The 60mm depth is shallow enough that the chili cools quickly for safe refrigeration, but deep enough that a single tray feeds 12 people. They seal with a plastic lid – it snaps onto the rim with a tight fit, no leakage for thick chili. The gold color makes the meal feel like an event, not a handout.

For delivery or freezing, the heat seal foil lid is the better choice. A meal prep company that ships nationwide uses these for their “family lasagna” kit. They assemble the lasagna in the tray, then run it through a heat sealer with a foil lid. The seal is leakproof and tamperevident – customers know the package hasn’t been opened. The tray goes from freezer to oven (remove the foil lid first). The 60mm depth allows three layers of noodles, sauce, and cheese without overflowing.

The rectangular shape matters for logistics. A 13x9 tray fits neatly into standard cardboard shipping boxes designed for sheet pans. A catering delivery service tested both square and rectangular trays of similar volume. The rectangular ones packed 15% more efficiently into their hot bags because the proportions matched the bag’s interior. No wasted corners.

One bakery uses these as “disposable baking pans” for their cornbread. They mix the batter, pour into the gold tray, bake, then slice and serve directly from the tray. The 60mm depth gives a thick, moist cornbread. The gold color makes the golden crust look even more appealing. After the event, the tray goes into recycling – no scrubbing of cast iron.

Packing is 200 pieces per carton. Carton size is 45.5 x 32.5 x 34.5cm. The gold lacquer is pre applied, so the color won’t scratch off during nesting.
