Disposable Foil Muffin & Cupcake Trays — 6, 12, Mini & Jumbo Cup — Wholesale & OEM
SEPACK manufactures disposable aluminum foil muffin pans — the multi-cup foil trays that bake a full batch of muffins, cupcakes or egg bites at once and go straight in the recycling, no scrubbing twelve cups. The aluminum bakes each cup evenly and releases clean, in 6-cup, 12-cup, mini 24-cup and jumbo configurations, plus individual foil baking cups. Plain or with lids for transport. Wholesale and private-label, for bakeries, foodservice and retail.
| Configuration | Cups | Cup Size | Best For | Lid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard 12-cup | 12 | Standard | Muffins, cupcakes | Optional |
| Standard 6-cup | 6 | Standard | Small batches, retail | Optional |
| Mini | 24 | Mini | Bite-size, egg bites, petit fours | Optional |
| Jumbo | 6 | Jumbo | Oversized bakery muffins | Optional |
| Individual cups | Single | Mini / standard / jumbo | Cupcakes, portions | — |
Trays and individual foil baking cups are made to order in cup count, size and depth. For paper cupcake liners and baking cups, see parchment paper; for tray lids, see containers with lids.
Foil muffin trays come in standard 12-cup and 6-cup, mini 24-cup, and jumbo configurations. The 12-cup is the bakery and retail standard; mini trays make bite-size muffins and egg bites; jumbo trays bake oversized muffins. Cup count and cup size are made to order.
Usually, yes. A paper or foil liner in the cup makes release foolproof and gives cupcakes a finished look, though a lightly greased foil cup releases muffins on its own. We supply matching foil baking cups, and paper cupcake liners are covered on the parchment page.
Yes, with aluminum. Foil conducts heat evenly to every cup, including the center cups a thin pan under-bakes, so the whole batch comes out the same rise and color. Even baking across all cups is the main thing a multi-cup tray has to deliver.
Yes. The cups suit savory baking too — egg bites, mini frittatas and quiches, meatballs and portioned sides. The same even-baking, clean-release tray works for savory portions as well as sweet, which makes it a portion-baking tool, not just a muffin pan.
Yes. Alongside the trays we make individual foil baking cups — the standalone cups for muffins, cupcakes and portions that need no tray, in mini, standard and jumbo sizes. For paper liners, see the parchment page.
Yes. Foil muffin pans are food-grade aluminum and 100% recyclable. They meet FDA and EU food-contact rules, and the factory holds FDA, BRC, ISO, SGS, Kosher and BSCI certification.
Minimum order depends on cup count, size and lid, with custom counts and private label following a sample-and-approval flow before bulk. Send the configuration and volume, and we will confirm the right MOQ and lead time.
A muffin pan is the odd one out in bakeware — it is not one pan but a tray of small ones, and that changes everything about how it bakes and how it is judged. The questions that matter are cup count, whether every cup bakes the same, and how the cups are lined. This guide covers the configurations, even baking, and where trays end and individual cups begin.
Muffin trays are defined by cup count and cup size. The 12-cup standard tray is the bakery and retail workhorse for muffins and cupcakes; a 6-cup tray suits small batches and home-style retail packs. Mini trays, usually 24 cups, turn out bite-size muffins, egg bites and petit fours; jumbo trays bake the oversized bakery-style muffin. A production bakery often runs standard and mini together, since the two cover most of what a muffin or cupcake line sells.
The defining challenge of a multi-cup pan is uniformity. In a thin or uneven pan, the cups near the edge over-bake while the center cups stay pale, so a single tray turns out inconsistent muffins. Aluminum conducts heat quickly and evenly to every cup, edge and center alike, so the whole batch rises and colors the same. For a bakery selling a dozen identical muffins, that even bake across the tray is the whole point — inconsistent cups mean rejects and waste.
Foil muffin cups can be baked in directly with a light grease, but most operations line them. A paper liner gives cupcakes a finished, branded look and makes release effortless; a foil liner adds rigidity and a premium feel. The choice depends on presentation and whether the product is sold in or out of the cup. We supply matching foil baking cups, and paper cupcake liners sit on the parchment paper line, so the tray, the cup and the liner come from one supplier.
The muffin tray has quietly become a portion-control tool well beyond baking. The same cups bake egg bites, mini frittatas and quiches, set meatballs, portion sides, and mold savory and sweet single servings for meal prep and foodservice. Because each cup is a consistent, even-baking portion that releases clean, the tray suits any application that needs a batch of identical small servings — which is why cafes and meal-kit lines buy them as much as bakeries do.
There are two ways to bake a portion: in a tray of cups, or in standalone foil baking cups. A tray is faster to fill and handle for a fixed batch on a production line. Individual cups are flexible — they go on any flat sheet, scale to any number, and travel and sell as a self-contained portion with no tray to return. Many operations use both: trays on the bake line, individual cups for grab-and-go and retail. We make the trays and the cups in matching sizes.
Muffin trays and foil cups are single-material aluminum and fully recyclable, and recycling aluminum uses a small share of the energy of primary production. Sourced alongside liners, lids and the rest of a foil container program, a bakery’s muffin and cupcake line ships on one spec and one consolidated container, food-grade and compliant for North American, European and export markets.
