Deli Plastic Containers

Plastic is one of the most common materials used to store food. Deli plastic containers are made from polypropylene (PP), which is food-safe and reusable. Our selection of plastic deli containers with lids includes tamper-evident options, which indicate if a product has been opened. Plastic containers are lightweight, making them excellent for stress-free and cost-efficient shipping and transportation. In contrast to glass, plastic deli containers are much more damage-resistant and unlikely to shatter.

Are plastic deli containers microwave-safe? The Cary Company offers a broad range of plastic containers, including options that are safe for the microwave. Because they are made from polypropylene, they have high heat and chemical resistance. This also means that many of our plastic deli food containers are dishwasher safe, making them perfect for reusable take-home purposes.

It’s important to pair plastic deli containers with lids to prevent leakage and keep products fresh. Our lids have an airtight guarantee to protect foods from moisture, air, and contaminants as the container travels. Clear plastic lids help improve product visibility and visual appeal to customers.

Our plastic deli food storage containers are made from polypropylene (PP), a powerful BPA free plastic. One of the safest plastics available, it is FDA-approved for use in food containers. PP containers are ideal for the food industry because they are very strong, lightweight and easily affordable. Polypropylene's resistance to high temperatures means that it will not release harmful chemicals into stored foods.

When discussing the color of plastic containers, the most important factor is product visibility. Clear plastic deli containers allow customers to evaluate products before making a purchase. This establishes a product’s visual identity and potentially earns trust from viewers.  

Opaque plastic deli containers primarily offer brand identity benefits. Although they do not display the products inside, they can be designed in various colors and styles to promote brand values.

Our plastic deli food containers are made from polypropylene, which is considered to be widely recyclable. Additionally, PP’s durable nature makes PP containers sturdy for reuse. Containers with resealable lids can even be used multiple times as long as they are cleaned. Make sure to follow safety guidelines when recycling plastic deli containers:

• Always remember to check the Resin Identification Code (RIC) to know the specific plastic type, and how that type can be properly disposed of.

• Understand that some plastics cannot be recycled via curbside pickup. Consult with waste management to understand these specialized processes. 

• Empty, rinse and dry plastic containers to minimize contamination of other products.
