Frequently Asked Questions – Aluminium Foil Trays & Containers
Are aluminium foil containers recyclable?
Yes—aluminium is widely recyclable once clean and free of food residue. Lid materials vary (foil/card vs plastic), so check the product page and your local authority’s rules.
Can I use foil trays in the oven or freezer?
Yes. Foil trays are oven-safe and freezer-friendly. Avoid microwaves unless your appliance specifically supports aluminium. If you need a microwave-safe option, consider microwavable plastic containers with lids where stated.
Which lids fit these trays?
Compatible lids are shown on each product page. Check the Compatible Items section to match the correct lid to each tray size and type.
Do you offer gastronorm sizes?
Yes—half and full gastronorm trays are available for ovens, hot-hold and buffet service. Check each listing for depth (shallow/deep) and capacity.
What are the MOQs?
Most stocked lines are supplied in case quantities, with no strict MOQ beyond case packs. Custom-branded sleeves and labels have MOQs—please contact us for a quote.
Do you offer next working day delivery?
Yes—orders placed before the daily 15:00 cut-off qualify for next working day UK delivery. Weekends and bank holidays are excluded.
What size foil container is best for meal prep?
For meal prep, many kitchens use mid-size rectangular containers for single portions and deeper trays for saucier dishes. Choose a size that leaves a little headspace for lids and stacking. Check each product’s dimensions and capacity to match mains, sides and meal deals.
Are foil containers food-safe?
Yes. Our foil containers are made from food-grade aluminium and are suitable for hot-hold, takeaway and catering use. Always use the correct compatible lid and follow any product-specific guidance shown on the listing.
Can foil trays be reused?
Foil trays can be lightly reused for non-critical applications if they remain undamaged and are cleaned properly, but most takeaway operations treat them as single-use for hygiene and consistency. Avoid reusing trays that are bent, heavily soiled or used with strong oils and sauces.
