Stackable 47.3oz/1400ml 8.7"x6.6" Gold Foil Container for Bulk Meal Prep & Catering Entree

When you stack 20 of these trays in a delivery bag, the difference between 50mm depth and 56mm depth matters. At 56mm, the walls are tall enough to keep sauces from touching the lid above, but not so tall that the stack becomes unstable. A catering company in Toronto runs 500 family meals every weekend. They switched to these 1400ml gold trays because the 56mm depth gave them the perfect balance. No more leaking from the tray below. No more wobbling stacks.

The footprint is 8.7 by 6.61 inches. That’s a bit wider than a standard takeout box. It holds a full tray of chicken parmesan with spaghetti – about four adult portions. The gold color makes the red sauce pop. The caterer uses a foil lid for hot items (crimp by hand) and a plastic lid for cold salads. They told us that the gold finish also hides fingerprints and minor dents, which silver trays show immediately.

You can heat seal this tray too. The rim works with standard film. But at 1400ml, many buyers are packing casseroles or entrees with thick sauces, not thin soups. A frozen food manufacturer uses these for their “family lasagna” line. They fill, freeze, and then shrink wrap the tray without a lid. The customer removes the wrap and bakes at 180°C for 45 minutes. The 56mm depth gives enough room for three layers of noodles.

Packing is 500 per carton. The carton size is 44.5 x 36.5 x 35cm. That’s a dense pack because the trays nest deeply. The gold lacquer is preapplied, so no flaking.

One unique use: a community kitchen uses these for “heat and serve” meals for seniors. They fill with shepherd’s pie, seal with a foil lid, and freeze. Volunteers deliver a week’s worth at a time. The 1400ml size gives a senior enough food for three meals. The gold tray feels less clinical than the old plastic containers. One senior said, “It’s like someone cooked for me with love.”

Recycling is simple. The tray and foil lid are aluminum. The plastic lid separates easily.

So if you need a deep, stackable tray for bulk meal prep or catering entrees, this 1400ml gold rectangle is a workhorse. It stacks, it seals, and it makes your food look like it was made for a special occasion.
