The Standard One-Liter Takeaway Container

Ask a takeaway restaurant what container runs the most volume and the answer is usually this footprint: roughly 220×160mm, about one liter, one lid. Item # WR2216-1040 is that container in wrinkle-wall construction—rice bowls, noodle dishes, curries, pasta, and sauced entrees all pack into it, and the crimped wall gives it the rigidity that delivery work demands. For restaurants, cloud kitchens, and meal-prep operators, it is the base SKU of a to-go program.

Why Wrinkle-Wall for Takeaway

The crimped folds pressed into the sidewall are structural ribs. A hot, freshly filled container of curry or pasta weighs close to a kilogram and travels stacked in a bag on a scooter; the wrinkle profile keeps the walls from bowing under that load and keeps the rim plane flat so the lid stays crimped. Smooth-wall containers at the same gauge would not survive the same delivery run.

IVC Rim for Board Lid Closure

The interrupted vertical curl rim is formed to take crimp-on foil-laminated board lids: the lid edge folds under the rim flange by hand or with a simple press, closing the container without heat-sealing equipment. The foil side of the lid faces the food as a grease and moisture barrier, and the board side can carry printed branding or order labels. Closed containers stack for the delivery bag and hold their seal through the ride.

Reheat Performance for the End Customer

Part of this container's value shows up after the sale: the customer can put it straight into a conventional oven to reheat, without transferring to a plate. Food-grade aluminum handles oven temperatures and freezer storage equally well, so restaurants can also sell chilled or frozen take-home meals in the same SKU they use for hot delivery.

Bulk Supply for High-Turnover Kitchens

A busy takeaway line consumes hundreds of containers a day, which makes packing density and unit cost the deciding factors. These containers ship nested in bulk cartons engineered for export container loading, and the wrinkle-wall family covers adjacent sizes from 445ml snack portions to multi-liter sharing formats, so one supplier relationship covers the whole menu.

FAQs

What is the WR2216-1040 typically used for?

It is the standard one-liter takeaway container: rice and noodle dishes, curries, pasta, and sauced entrees for restaurant to-go, delivery platforms, and meal-prep distribution. The 221×159mm footprint is the most common size in takeaway operations.

What lids fit the IVC rim?

The IVC (interrupted vertical curl) rim accepts crimp-on foil-laminated board lids, which fold under the rim flange by hand or with a simple press—no heat-sealing equipment needed. The foil side faces the food as a grease barrier, and the board side can carry printed branding or order labels.

Can customers reheat food in the container?

Yes. The food-grade aluminum container goes into a conventional oven for reheating and tolerates freezer storage, so the same SKU works for hot delivery and for chilled or frozen take-home meals. Board lids should be removed before reheating.

Why choose wrinkle wall over smooth wall for delivery?

The crimped folds in the wall act as structural ribs. A container holding close to a kilogram of hot food, stacked in a delivery bag, needs that reinforcement to keep its walls from bowing and its rim flat so the lid stays sealed. Smooth-wall containers at the same gauge do not offer that rigidity.

What bulk and branding options are available?

Containers ship nested in bulk cartons optimized for container loading. Printed board lids with your branding are available, and the wrinkle-wall family runs from 445ml snack sizes to multi-liter formats, so one order can cover the full menu. Samples are available before you commit.
