Item # SS112-280 is a 280ml smooth-wall square aluminum bowl, 111.5×111.5mm across the top with a 37mm wall, built for chilled desserts, baked puddings, and premium side portions. The square bowl format packs tightly in retail chillers and delivery bags, and the smooth wall gives printed sleeves and lids a flat, clean surface.

Between the shallow gratin tray and the deep ready-meal container sits a format that chilled dessert brands and premium takeaway kitchens reach for constantly: a mid-depth square bowl. Item # SS112-280 fills that slot at 280ml—deep enough for a layered tiramisu or a generous side of rice, compact enough to tessellate in a retail chiller or a delivery bag, and finished with a smooth wall that carries branding cleanly.
The 37mm wall is the practical middle. Layered desserts—tiramisu, trifles, icebox cakes—need enough depth to show their layers through a clear lid but not so much that the portion turns into a bucket. Sauced sides and rice dishes need depth to hold their liquid through transport without approaching the rim. At 280ml, the bowl portions a satisfying single serve in both directions.
Round bowls waste chiller shelf and bag space; a 111.5mm square bowl does not. Retail dessert brands fit more units per shelf row and per shipping carton, and delivery kitchens pack square bowls edge to edge with the main container in the same bag. The tapered wall keeps the bowls nesting tightly in storage and releases the product cleanly if a dessert is turned out for plating.
The food-grade aluminum body moves between blast freezer, chiller, and conventional oven without issue. A dessert brand can set and freeze a pudding line for national distribution; a takeaway kitchen can bake a bread pudding or a pasta side and send it out hot; a meal-prep company can do both on the same SKU. The full-curl rim seats printed board lids for retail and clear domes for display.
The smooth exterior takes color lacquering, printed lids, and sleeve wraps without the distortion that crimped walls cause, so the bowl works as primary retail packaging. We supply it factory-direct in nested bulk cartons, with custom colors and printed lid artwork available on volume programs, and the smooth-wall square family covers adjacent capacities for line extensions.
