Frequently Asked Questions
Are deli containers microwave safe?Yes — our polypropylene (PP) deli containers are microwave safe and withstand temperatures up to 230°F. Remove the lid before microwaving to prevent warping. This makes them ideal for reheating soups, sauces, chili, and prepped meals. What sizes do deli containers come in?We stock deli containers in 8oz, 16oz, and 32oz. The 8oz (about 3.5" diameter x 2.5" tall) suits sauces, dressings, and condiments; the 16oz (about 4" diameter x 3" tall) is the standard soup and side-dish size; the 32oz (about 4.5" diameter x 4.5" tall) holds quart portions, bulk salads, and catering sides. Can I use the same lid for all three sizes?Yes — one universal lid fits our 8oz, 16oz, and 32oz deli containers. Stocking a single lid SKU simplifies inventory management, reduces storage space, and means you never run out of the wrong size lid. Are deli containers leak-proof?Our deli containers are leak-resistant rather than fully leak-proof. The rolled rim creates a tight seal that prevents most spills in transit. For very liquid soups or delivery orders, add a heat seal or shrink band for a tamper-evident, spill-proof closure. Are deli containers dishwasher safe and reusable?Yes — these containers are top-rack dishwasher safe and built for repeat use. Polypropylene resists flavor and odor transfer plus fats and oils, so customers reuse them for leftovers and meal prep. It is also recyclable #5, which makes reusability a real selling point for your brand. What is the difference between deli containers and portion cups?Deli containers are larger (8oz–32oz) and made for entrees, sides, and soups, while portion cups are small (1oz–5.5oz) and used for condiments, sauces, and samples. Deli containers are also microwavable and reusable; most portion cups are single-use. Do you sell deli container lids separately?Yes — lids are sold separately from containers, so you can restock whichever component you go through faster.
