SR13-670L	No.6A Rectangular Foil Takeaway Container with Lid	660ml	202 × 110	186 × 94	160 × 69	55

The No.6A earned its place as the default UK takeaway container for practical reasons. The long rectangle portions naturally: rice or chips fill one end, the sauced main fills the other, and the customer eats straight from the tray without transferring. At 55mm deep it holds a full curry-and-rice portion below the rim line, and at 202mm long it still slides into standard delivery bags and stacking racks. Any kitchen already running No.6A board or foil lids can add this container with zero change to its lid inventory.

Long shapes are where thin foil usually fails — an unbraced 200mm sidewall bows outward under a hot liquid portion and the lid pops. SR13-670L braces that span with dense wrinkle-wall ribs along both long walls, so the container keeps its rectangle and its lid seal at just 8 grams. The 160×69mm flat base sits stable on filling lines, and the 186×94mm opening gives portioning scoops a clean target at speed.

The format works beyond the chippy counter. Bakeries use the same footprint for loaf cakes and banana bread; meal-prep brands pack it as a single-serve tray; caterers line it up for hot-buffet service. One rolled rim accepts crimped foil lids, foil-board lids and clear lids, so the same SKU serves the delivery bag, the display case and the oven. Like every tray in our rectangular pans range, it goes from freezer to oven in one step and recycles with ordinary aluminum.

FAQs

Is this container the same as a UK No.6A?

Yes in format. The No.6A is the long rectangular standard used across UK and European takeaways, sized around 200×110mm at the rim. This container matches that format at 202×110mm with a 55mm depth and 660ml capacity, so it drops into any operation already specified for No.6A.

What dishes suit the long rectangular shape?

Two-component takeaway mains: curry with rice, fish and chips, kebab meat with fries, noodles, pasta, and loaded fries. The long shape keeps the dry and sauced components side by side instead of stacked.

Will it work with my existing No.6A lids?

In most cases yes. The rolled rim accepts the crimped foil and foil-board lids standard to the No.6A format, plus clear lids for display. Send us your current lid specification and we will confirm the fit before your first order.

Can it be used for baking as well as takeaway?

Yes. The same footprint bakes loaf cakes, banana bread and pates, and the 55mm wall gives batters room to rise. Many customers buy one format for both the bakery line and the takeaway counter.

Is it oven and freezer safe, and can I order it private label?

Yes on both. The food-grade aluminum body moves from freezer to conventional oven in one step and recycles after use. Private-label programs include custom cartons, embossed bases and printed lids — share your volume and branding requirements for a quote.
