Item # 316-30-200 is a 2 lb aluminum foil loaf pan, 36 fl oz capacity in the full-size 8 5/8 × 4 1/2 inch format—the standard loaf that most quick bread and yeast bread recipes are written for. One batch fills one pan, the loaf crowns properly in the 2 11/32 inch depth, and the baked loaf sells, gifts, or freezes in the same pan it baked in.

Open a cookbook to banana bread, sandwich bread, or meatloaf and the pan size is almost always the same: a standard loaf, roughly 8.5 × 4.5 inches. Item # 316-30-200 is that standard in rigid disposable aluminum at 36 fl oz, so home bakers, bakeries, and food programs can run published recipes straight into a pan that bakes, sells, and stores the loaf in one piece.
A loaf earns its shape in the last third of the rise, when the dough or batter pushes above the rim and rounds over. The 2 11/32 inch wall holds that final climb: yeast loaves dome properly, quick breads crown without spilling, and meatloaf holds its juices below the rim. In a shallow pan the same recipe spreads or overflows; here it finishes tall and slices into full-size pieces.
The 2 lb format spans both bread families. For quick breads—banana, pumpkin, zucchini—aluminum's fast conduction sets the crumb before the crust overbrowns. For yeast loaves, the same property supports oven spring and an even bake through the center. Savory programs use the identical pan for family-size meatloaf, where the depth collects renderings for gravy.
The full-size loaf in its pan is a finished product: wrap it for the farmers market, label it for the freezer case, or gift it for the holidays. The pan tolerates freezer storage, so make-ahead programs can bake in bulk and freeze in the pan, and the recipient bakes off or thaws in the same piece.
Each case holds 200 pans at 8 lbs. The family covers the 1 lb mini loaf for gift programs and the 5 lb commercial loaf for volume production, plus oval challah formats for braided breads—one supplier for the full loaf range.
