Round Aluminum Foil Containers

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Round aluminum foil containers are among the most universally recognized food packaging formats in the world. From pizza takeaways to curry houses, from airline meal service to supermarket ready meals, the round format accommodates a vast range of cuisines, portion sizes, and food service applications. Aikang produces round containers in 7-inch, 8-inch, and 9-inch diameters, covering the most popular sizes in the global foodservice market.

Product Overview

Aikang's round aluminum foil container range centers on three core diameters — 7" (IK182), 8" (IK203), and 9" (IK230) — that together cover the broadest range of single-serve and sharing meal applications. All three sizes feature a symmetrical round profile, smooth sidewalls, and a flat base that provides stability on surfaces. The rolled rim is smooth and safe to handle, and provides a secure snap-fit with matching round board or foil lids.

These containers are produced on high-speed automated lines capable of producing hundreds of thousands of units per day, ensuring price competitiveness at scale. Wall thickness is calibrated to provide sufficient rigidity for handling a full meal without flexing or deforming, while keeping material usage — and therefore cost and environmental footprint — to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the capacity of your 8-inch round container (IK203)?
A: The IK203 has a capacity of approximately 700 ml and is our most popular all-purpose single-meal container size.

Q: Are matching lids available for all three round sizes?
A: Yes. Matching board lids, foil crimp lids, and transparent dome lids are available for all three diameters. Custom-printed board lids are also available for branding purposes.

Q: Can I order all three sizes in one shipment?
A: Yes. We regularly supply mixed container orders. The MOQ of 50,000 pieces applies per SKU but we can consolidate shipments of multiple SKUs to reduce freight costs.

Q: Are these containers suitable for saucy dishes like curry?
A: Yes. The smooth non-porous aluminum walls are impermeable to liquids and oils. The snap-fit lid provides a secure closure. For very liquid-heavy dishes, a foil crimp lid provides additional leak resistance.

Q: Can these be used as baking molds?
A: Yes. The round shape and oven-safe construction make them ideal as single-serve baking molds for individual quiches, cakes, and tarts. Light greasing before filling with batter is recommended.

Q: Are these containers freezer safe?
A: Yes. They perform reliably at temperatures down to -20°C and can transition from freezer to oven directly, making them an excellent choice for frozen meal packaging.
