Specifications and Buying Information
Food container specifications depend on the food application, filling conditions, storage requirements and packaging structure.
Important purchasing details include:
- Container dimensions and required capacity
- Food type and intended application
- Material grade, thickness and color
- Lid, compartment or sealing requirements
- Stacking and transportation conditions
- Estimated order quantity and destination market
Our usual MOQ is around 3,000–10,000 pieces per design, depending on material and tooling requirements.
Sample development usually takes around 7–15 working days, with additional time for new molds. Mass production generally takes around 20–35 working days after sample approval.
Temperature resistance, microwave suitability and food-contact compliance must be confirmed for the selected material and product.
Production and Quality Checks
Our food containers are manufactured through plastic sheet forming, trimming and finishing processes. Production specifications are established according to the approved container design, material and intended application.
Applicable quality checks include:
- Raw material identification and thickness checks
- First-article and container dimension inspection
- Forming consistency and cavity depth
- Rim flatness and lid fit where applicable
- Surface appearance and edge trimming
- Stacking performance and final inspection
For containers requiring lids or sealing films, compatibility should be evaluated during sample development.
Finished products are checked against approved samples and confirmed specifications before bulk packing.
Packaging Options
Empty food containers can be nested or stacked where the design allows, helping reduce shipping volume and protect the products during transportation.
Available packing options include:
- Nested packing for compatible containers
- Protective PE bags
- Layered packing with separators
- Bulk packing in export cartons
- Custom carton labels and shipping marks
- Pallet packaging for larger orders
Packing arrangements depend on container dimensions, material thickness and shipment requirements.
EXW, FOB and CIF shipping terms can be discussed. DDP availability depends on the destination and logistics arrangements.
