About this container
These 500ml food containers with lids suit sides, rice and smaller meals. Each 500ml container is made from thick, heavy-duty, food-grade plastic. It is BPA free.
A separate lid covers the whole top. It snaps on all the way round for a tight fit. Takeaways also use this size for rice, curry and side dishes.
Home cooks use them for batch cooking. You can cook once, then portion meals for the week. Freeze, reheat and wash in the same box. Loosen the lid before you microwave.

See all food containers with lids or read our guide: Hinged vs separate-lid containers.
Does each container come with a lid?
Yes. Every 500ml container comes with its own separate snap-on lid, so a pack of 50 containers includes 50 lids.
What is 500ml good for?
A 500ml container suits small meal-prep portions, sides, sauces, a portion of soup or a child's meal.
Can I put these in the microwave or freezer?
Yes. They are microwave safe with the lid loosened and freezer safe. They also go in the dishwasher on the top rack.
What is the difference between these and hinged containers?
These have a separate lid that seals all round. Hinged containers have the lid attached.
Is 500ml enough for soup?
Yes. A 500ml container holds a generous single portion of soup. Fill below the rim and press the lid down all the way round.
Do the prices include VAT?
Yes. Every price on our website includes VAT at 20%, so the price you see is the price you pay. You get a VAT invoice with every order.
