Microwaveable Food Containers

Microwave Containers with Lids for Takeaway & Meal Prep

If you run a busy food business or prepare meals at home, you need packaging that’s reliable, safe, and convenient. At Supply Express, we offer a complete selection of microwave containers with lids built for reheating, transport, and storage.

These containers are ideal for takeaways, restaurants, caterers, and home meal prep. Whether you're packing hot curries, fresh salads, pasta dishes, or thick soups, we provide the containers that help your food stay fresh, secure, and ready to serve.

✅ Strong, Safe & Ready for the Microwave

All our containers are made from BPA-free, food-grade plastic, ensuring they’re safe for use in the microwave and freezer. Unlike cheaper options, these containers don’t warp or melt when reheated.

They’re also leak-resistant—thanks to secure-fitting lids that lock in flavour and prevent mess. Many models are reusable and dishwasher-safe, giving you added value with every pack.

We also offer compartment containers, which allow multiple food portions to be packed into one container without mixing. These are especially useful for meal prep companies or businesses offering full-course takeaway meals.

✅ Sizes & Styles to Suit Every Meal

No matter what you serve, we have a container to fit. Our selection includes:

• Portion Pots – 50ml to 250ml (ideal for sauces, chutneys, dips)
• Standard Meal Boxes – 500ml, 650ml, 750ml, 1000ml, and 1500ml
• Multi-compartment Trays – With 2 or 3 sections for main meals
• Round & Square Options – Match your food type and presentation needs

This flexibility lets you standardise your packaging while offering consistent presentation.
