Tamper Evident 17.2oz/510ml 6.34"x4.33" Gold Foil Container for Baked Ziti & Thai Curry Takeout

Here’s a number: 510ml. That’s not a round number like 500 or 550. So why does it exist? Because 510ml is what you get when you take a standard 320ml tray and add 10mm of depth. Same length, same width – 6.34 by 4.33 inches – but the wall goes from 30mm to 38mm. That extra 8mm doesn’t sound like much, but it means you can now pack dishes with more sauce without worrying about overflow. A baked ziti with ricotta and marinara fits perfectly. So does a Thai green curry with coconut milk.

A ghost kitchen in Los Angeles specializes in “one pan dinners.” They use these 510ml gold trays for their chicken tikka masala. The 38mm depth holds the sauce without it touching the lid. They seal it with a foil lid (crimp by hand) and stack them in a hot bag. The gold color makes the orange curry pop. Their DoorDash rating for “packaging” is 4.9.

You don’t have to use foil. Plastic lids snap on faster. Some customers use the plastic lid for cold noodle salads or fruit bowls. Others use heat seal film for leakproof delivery of thin soups – the rim works with standard sealers. But here’s the thing: at 510ml, you’re right at the edge of what a single person eats. Bigger than a side, smaller than a family portion. So a lot of restaurants use this for their “large” lunch bowl.

Packing is 1000 per carton. The carton size is 45 x 33 x 33.5cm. The gold lacquer is pre applied, so no flaking. The 38mm depth means these nest a bit looser than shallower trays, but still 1000 fit in that box.

One caterer told us they use these for “buffet line backups.” They fill the gold trays with mac and cheese or scalloped potatoes, seal with a foil lid, and keep them in a warming cabinet. When a tray runs low, they pop the foil, dump the contents into the chafing dish, and toss the gold tray. No washing stainless steel inserts. The caterer saves two hours of cleanup per event.

Recycling? Rinse and toss. The gold coating is fine. Some recyclers actually like it because the color helps optical sorters identify aluminum.

So if you need a tray that splits the difference between a shallow rice bowl and a deep stew pot, this 510ml gold rectangle is your answer. It’s not too shallow, not too deep. It’s just right.
