Wholesale Crimpable Rim 5.47"x4.45" Silver Foil Tray for Single Meal Prep & Takeout Pasta

This 5.47 by 4.45 inch silver foil tray holds 300ml (10oz), an ideal size for single servings of pasta, fried rice, roasted vegetables, or creamy casseroles. The tray features a crimpable rim made from food grade aluminum, allowing you to fold the edge over a lid for a secure closure. While not suitable for thin soups, it handles semi solid dishes like mac and cheese, teriyaki chicken with rice, or baked ziti without leakage. The 43mm depth gives enough room for a hearty portion while keeping the tray compact and stackable for efficient delivery or refrigerator storage.

The demand for medium capacity foil trays like this 300ml size has grown alongside the expansion of ghost kitchens and online food delivery services. Restaurants and meal prep companies appreciate the balance between portion control and packaging efficiency. From a production standpoint, aluminum foil containers are manufactured on high speed automatic presses running at 40 to 80 pieces per minute, depending on die complexity. China's major manufacturing clusters in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu supply the global market with millions of trays daily, offering options like smooth or wrinkled walls for added rigidity. Many factories now integrate automatic stacking and counting systems to ensure consistent pack sizes – typically 1000 pieces per carton.

Aluminum's environmental credentials are significant. It can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality, and recycling uses only about 5% of the energy required to produce virgin aluminum. This translates to a 95% energy saving and a corresponding reduction in carbon emissions. For food service businesses, switching to recyclable aluminum trays helps meet sustainability goals and appeals to customers who prefer eco friendly packaging. Many municipalities accept clean foil trays in their recycling programs, making end of life disposal straightforward.

This 5.47"x4.45" tray is compatible with cardboard or foil lids. The crimpable rim can be folded manually – no heat sealing machine needed. It is also oven safe to 220°C and freezer safe to -20°C, allowing customers to reheat directly or store prepared meals for later use. For B2B buyers, sourcing from a certified factory (FDA, EU 1935/2004, or LFGB) ensures compliance with international food contact standards.

Whether used for individual pasta portions, healthy grain bowls, or frozen ready meals, this 300ml foil tray delivers reliability, convenience, and recyclability. Its lightweight design reduces shipping costs while maintaining the strength needed to protect food during transport.
