Plastic food containers: The most versatile solution for your business

Plastic food containers

Plastic food containers are designed to maintain freshness and prevent contamination, moisture build-up, or the mixing of aromas with other products. They are the most commonly used containers in restaurants, supermarkets and catering services, but are also popular for takeaway, delivery and domestic use.

Most formats are perfectly suited to cold or hot foods, liquids or solids, and ensure a clean and professional presentation. Additionally, many models are microwave-safe and made from recyclable materials such as PET or PP, in compliance with regulations and sustainability commitments.

Types of disposable plastic food containers

At Monouso, we offer a wide variety of plastic food packaging for different uses and in various materials:

  • Microwaveable PP plastic containers: polypropylene containers suitable for microwave use, perfect for heating food and available in various shapes, sizes and capacities.
  • Hot food OPS plastic containers: containers designed for hot meals that resist deformation and retain heat, available in multiple sizes, formats and lid types.
  • Cold food PET plastic containers: recyclable containers ideal for storing and transporting cold food, offered in different shapes, designs and closure systems.
  • Gastronorm PP trays: heat-sealable trays perfect for serving fresh and cooked meals, available in various volumes.

All available models are designed to make daily food service tasks easier.

Features of plastic food containers

  • Available in various sizes, shapes and capacities.
  • Stackable, lightweight and durable.
  • Made from PET, PP or recycled rPET plastic.

Depending on the model and material, they may be suitable for microwave and freezer use. A well-chosen plastic food container protects the food, enhances its presentation and simplifies handling.

Advantages of plastic food containers

Plastic food containers help to organise kitchens, storage areas and shelves more efficiently, while also offering several benefits for consumers:

  • High durability: resistant to breakage and deformation.
  • Versatility: suitable for liquids, dry goods, cold or hot food.
  • Product visibility: thanks to their transparent finish.
  • Hygiene: single-use to avoid contamination.

How to choose the best plastic food packaging

Before settling on a specific model, it’s important to remember that purchasing wholesale disposable food containers offers a significant economic advantage.

Therefore, when exploring the wide range of available plastic food containers, it’s important to consider:

  • Type of food: if it’s very liquid, options with airtight lids are the best choice.
  • Intended use: if the customer needs to reheat the food, microwave-safe or freezer-safe options should be chosen.
  • Service format: if you offer home delivery, opt for stackable containers that don’t open easily, to prevent spills and improve transport efficiency.
  • Product presentation: a transparent container can help showcase your dishes visually.

At Monouso, you can filter by material, shape, capacity or lid type to find the perfect container for your business. Plastic food containers remain one of the best solutions for hospitality, food service, supermarkets and takeaway businesses.
