Aluminum Foil Bowls & Cups

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Aluminum foil bowls and cups represent the compact, portion-controlled end of the aluminum packaging spectrum. From a 45 ml sauce cup to a 250 ml soup bowl, these small-format containers serve a huge variety of single-serve, condiment, dessert, and beverage-accompany applications across airline catering, fast food, catering events, and retail. Aikang's bowl and cup range covers six standard sizes with options for lids and custom printing.

Product Overview

Aikang's aluminum foil bowls and cups span a range from the 45 ml oval bowl (IK85) through the 100 ml, 150 ml (IK100S), 200 ml, 220 ml (IK106), and 250 ml (IK120S) capacity sizes. Shapes include oval, round, and oblong profiles, covering the full range of sauce, dessert, side dish, and beverage container applications. The IK100D is a double-walled cup design offering additional insulation for hot beverages or soups.

All bowls and cups feature a smooth interior surface, a sturdy rolled rim, and precise dimensional consistency that ensures reliable performance on automated filling and sealing lines. The small format makes them cost-effective per unit while the aluminum material ensures they maintain the same food-safety and performance characteristics as larger Aikang containers.

Fast food and QSR: Condiment cups, dipping sauce bowls, and side salad containers.
Catering and events: Individual dessert and amuse-bouche service for fine dining events.
Supermarket deli: Pre-portioned dips, sauces, and salads for retail deli counters.
Gelato and dessert shops: Individual serving cups for gelato, mousse, and crème brûlée.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between IK100S and IK100D?
A: IK100S is a standard 150 ml bowl. IK100D is a 220 ml double-walled cup with an additional insulation layer that provides superior heat retention — it is designed specifically for hot soups, sauces, and beverages where keeping the contents warm for longer is important.

Q: Are these cups suitable for hot soup service in airline catering?
A: Yes. The IK100D double-wall cup is specifically designed for this application. The double wall insulates the contents, keeping soup hot during the gap between galley preparation and service to the passenger.

Q: Can I bake crème brûlée directly in the aluminum cups?
A: Yes. Aluminum foil cups are excellent for baking individual desserts including crème brûlée, egg tarts, and individual soufflés. Place in a bain-marie for even custard cooking. Lightly grease before filling if unmolding is required.

Q: Are foil peel lids available for these cups?
A: Yes. We supply foil peel lids in sizes matched to each cup in the range. Peel lids are popular for retail dessert products and airline catering, where easy opening is important for the end consumer.

Q: What is the smallest available cup size?
A: Our smallest standard size is the IK85, a 45 ml oval bowl ideal for single-serve sauces, dips, and condiments. This is a popular item for airline catering tray assembly.

Q: Are custom sizes available in the bowl and cup range?
A: Yes. We can produce custom sizes and shapes with in-house mold tooling. Tooling costs and MOQs for custom items will be quoted based on the design specifications provided.
