Detailed categories (clear & visual)
📏 By Size & Capacity
-
Mini — up to ~100 ml (e.g., single-serve desserts, sauces)
-
Small — ~100–500 ml (cupcakes, individual meals)
-
Medium — ~500–1500 ml (takeaway meals, family portions)
-
Large — 1500 ml+ (batch catering, buffet pans)
Practical tip: tell us the final product volume (ml or oz) and the outer dimensions (L×W×H) — we’ll design the best wall thickness and shape to match.
🔺 By Shape
-
Rectangular / Square — efficient stacking and packing (retail, bakery)
-
Round / Oval — great for cakes, pies, and premium presentation
-
Loaf / Tray shapes — for baking and large catering needs
-
Custom / Irregular — unique displays, brand-differentiated forms (we can make molds)
We can produce multi-compartment designs for meal kits or dividers for portion control.
🧷 By Rim & Edge Type
-
Rolled rim — safe to handle, good for lids
-
Flanged rim — easy sealing (pressure-fit lids)
-
Beaded edge — extra strength for stacking and transport
🛡️ By Thickness & Duty (Light → Heavy)
-
Lightweight — economical, for single-use takeaway or lightweight foods
-
Standard — everyday baking & foodservice use
-
Heavy-duty — thicker walls for roasting, long transport, or reuse
(We’ll recommend a thickness based on intended use — baking, reheating, freezing.)
🧴 By Lid Compatibility & Sealing
-
Snap-fit lids (plastic or foil)
-
Heat-sealable rims for film lids (tamper-evident)
-
Stackable & nested designs for retail display
🛠️ By Manufacturing Method / Tooling
-
Stamping & pressing — fast for standard geometries
-
Deep drawing — ideal for deeper profiles without joints
-
Custom tooling / die-making — for special shapes (one-time tooling fee may apply)
🎨 Finishes & Decoration
-
Natural aluminium finish (silver) — classic, recyclable
-
Anodized or colored finishes — brand colors or seasonal lines
-
Printing & branding — single-color or full-color offset printing, embossing/debossing options
⭐ Special features we can add
-
Partitioned compartments (meal boxes)
-
Perforations or venting (for steaming)
-
Insulated double-wall options (for hot items)
-
Embossed branding or textured surfaces for premium feel
What we need from you (Upload checklist) 📤
Please provide as much of the following as possible so we can give an accurate quote and fast sample:
-
Product requirements: target capacity (ml/oz), intended use (bake/serve/store)
-
Dimensions: outside length × width × height (or a sketch)
-
Preferred shape & rim type (e.g., round with rolled rim)
-
Desired material/performance: food-grade, grease-proof, oven-safe, freezer-safe
-
Finish & branding: color, print or embossing files (vector AI/PDF)
-
Target order qty: trial/sample qty and projected annual qty
-
Any certifications required: FDA, LFGB, ISO, etc.
-
Target lead time & shipping terms
MOQ, samples & lead time ⏳
-
Sample: typically 3–7 days (depends on tooling & decoration complexity)
-
Tooling / mold: 7–14 days to make a custom die (if required)
-
Mass production: generally 15–30 days after sample approval (complex jobs may take longer)
-
MOQ: flexible — small trial runs available; larger discounts at bulk/wholesale quantities. Exact MOQ depends on shape, tooling and print setup.
Manufacturing & Quality Control ✅
We use industry-standard production methods (stamping, deep drawing, precision forming). Every batch receives:
-
Incoming material checks (food-grade verification)
-
In-line process inspections (dimensional checks)
-
Final QC: visual, leak tests (if applicable), packaging inspection
We can provide inspection reports and third-party lab testing on request.

-
Packaging & shipping method
How to get started (3 easy steps) ✨
-
Send your sketch/specs & desired qty. If you have CAD/PDF, great — if not, a photo or hand sketch works.
-
We quote & mock up. We’ll suggest thickness, tooling needs, and price options.
-
Sample → Approve → Produce. Fast sample, then mass production upon approval.

A: Absolutely. Send a photo with dimensions or a rough sketch. We’ll convert it into a technical drawing and propose options.
Q: Will you make tooling for a one-off shape?
A: Yes — we make custom dies. Tooling costs depend on complexity; we’ll give a transparent quote up front.
Q: Can you print our logo?
A: Yes — single or full-color printing, embossing, or heat transfer. Provide vector files for best results.
Q: What certifications do you support?
