Why Professionals Choose Microwavable Food Containers 

Safe and Convenient Reheating

Customers can reheat meals directly in the packaging without transferring food to another dish. Perfect for takeaway meals, meal prep, ready meals, and catering portions. Always follow the product guidance and vent lids where required.

Durable Food-Grade Construction

Built for commercial use, these containers handle hot and cold foods securely during preparation, storage, transport, and delivery. Strong plastic construction helps reduce cracking and deformation.

Leak-Resistant Lid Security

Clear lid options help minimise spills during transport while keeping food visible for professional presentation.

Stackable and Space-Efficient

Available in rectangular, round, bowl, and compartment formats that stack and store easily, helping kitchens stay organised during busy service.

Suitable for Hot and Cold Foods

Use them for reheating and chilled storage. Check each product listing for freezer suitability.

Complete Takeaway Packaging Solutions

Pair these containers with paper carrier bags and sauce pots with lids for a complete takeaway setup.

How to Choose a Microwave Container with Lid

The right microwave container with a lid depends on your portion size, the number of food components and how the meal will be reheated.

Match the size to the portion

Use 12-16oz (340-456ml) for sides and soups, 24-32oz (681-909ml) for standard mains, and 38oz and above for large or family portions.

Choose the shape

Rectangular containers stack efficiently and suit rice, curry and noodle dishes. Round containers suit soups, stews and sauces.

Use compartments to keep food separate

Two- and three-compartment containers keep a main and sides apart, which protects texture during delivery.

Check how the lid is supplied

Rectangle, round and black base ranges include clear lids. Somoplast bases are sold separately from their lids, so order the matching lid for your base code.

Reheat safely

Microwave-safe containers are designed for reheating prepared food. Vent the lid where the product guidance says so, and check each listing for heat and freezer details.

Order by the case

Cases range from 150 to 300 units. Buying 4 or more cases lowers the cost per unit, and delivery is free over £100 ex VAT.

Microwavable Container Size Guide 

Most takeaway mains fit a 24-32oz microwavable container, while compartment containers of 1000cc and above suit combination meals. Use this guide to match type, size and case quantity to your menu.

Sizes and case quantities vary by product. Check each listing for exact figures. Bulk discount applies on 4 or more cases.
