Rigid ContainersImage

Rigid containers are simply thicker gauges of foil that have been formed into semi-rigid containers to bring the convenience of modern food technology into our homes, schools, and restaurants.

Rigid containers, like foil sheets, provide an ideal barrier to moisture, light, and air. Rigid containers are perfect for holding leftovers and catered food items because, unlike other types of containers, rigid containers do not get soggy or wet—and they can be easily recycled.

Also, contrary to popular belief, foil-formed containers are microwave safe. As long as foil containers are placed on a ceramic dish and do not touch the side walls of the oven, they are completely safe to microwave.
