Oblong & Rectangular Foil Containers

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Oblong and rectangular aluminum foil containers are the workhorses of commercial food packaging. Their rectangular footprint maximizes storage efficiency, fits neatly in delivery bags and refrigerator shelves, and is the preferred format for pasta, rice dishes, baked goods, and prepared meals. Aikang produces a comprehensive range of oblong containers from 150 ml to over 1,000 ml to serve the full spectrum of food service and retail needs.

Product Overview

The oblong and rectangular container range from Aikang includes containers from 150 ml (IK100S, IK111) through 200 ml (IK101, IK130) and beyond, in both shallow and deep profile options. Shallow trays are suited to retail-sealed ready meals and bakery products, while deeper oblong containers accommodate pasta dishes, casseroles, and high-volume meal prep applications.

The rectangular format packs more efficiently in cartons than round containers, reducing logistics costs per unit. Containers feature smooth corners — with a gentle radius rather than a sharp corner — for ease of cleaning in a production environment and to avoid tearing sealed lids. All containers are compatible with both board and foil lid sealing systems.

Application

Oblong and rectangular containers are the format of choice across a wide range of food service and manufacturing applications:

Pasta and rice dishes: The oblong format matches the natural plating shape of pasta and rice portions.
Ready meal manufacturing: Sealed oblong trays are the standard format for supermarket chilled and frozen ready meals.
Bakery production: Rectangular format suits brownies, traybakes, flapjacks, and flat breads.
Deli and prepared foods: Pre-portioned salads, cold meats, and side dishes for deli counter display.
Meal prep: Bulk cooking and portioning of individual meals for weekly meal prep and batch cooking.
Catering buffets: Oblong serving trays for buffet presentations of hot and cold dishes.

Storage efficiency note: Rectangular containers pack approximately 15–20% more efficiently in standard delivery bags and refrigerator shelves compared to round containers of equivalent volume.

Advantages

Space-efficient format: Rectangular profile minimizes dead space in delivery bags, fridges, and storage shelves.
Wide capacity range: From 150 ml snack-size to over 1,000 ml for family portions — all in the same format family.
Sealing line compatible: Flanged rim options support automated sealing machines in food manufacturing.
Ribbed base option: Adds structural rigidity to larger, deeper containers without increasing material thickness.
Freezer-to-oven capability: Ideal for frozen ready meal formats that require in-container reheating.
Versatile lid options: Board, foil, and transparent lids available to suit different retail and foodservice requirements.
Consistent quality at scale: Automated production ensures dimensional consistency critical for automated packing lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between IK101 and IK130 — both listed as 200 ml oblong containers?
A: While both are 200 ml capacity, IK101 and IK130 have slightly different external dimensions and rim profiles. IK130 has a wider, shallower profile suited to retail sealed meals, while IK101 has a slightly deeper profile preferred for saucy dishes. Samples of both are available on request.

Q: Are oblong containers compatible with automated sealing machines?
A: Yes. Our flanged rim oblong containers are designed for compatibility with standard commercial tray sealing machines. Share your machine make and model and we can confirm the specific rim dimensions required.

Q: Do you have containers larger than 200 ml in the oblong format?
A: Yes. We produce oblong containers from 150 ml to over 1,500 ml. Larger sizes beyond our standard catalog are available as custom orders. Please request our full product catalog for the complete range.

Q: Are ribbed-base containers stronger than smooth-base containers?
A: Yes. The ribbed base adds structural rigidity through corrugation, which resists flexing and deformation under the weight of a full container of food. This is particularly important for deeper, larger-volume containers.

Q: Can these containers be used for acidic tomato-based dishes?
A: For cooking and short-term holding, yes. For long-duration cold storage of highly acidic products, we recommend a container with an internal lacquer coating. Please discuss your specific product and storage duration with our technical team.

Q: Can I mix multiple SKUs in a single container order?
A: Yes. We regularly fulfill mixed SKU orders. The 50,000 pcs MOQ applies per individual SKU. Mixed orders can be consolidated into a single FCL (full container load) shipment from Ningbo.
