A 750 ml rectangle-oval thinwall container in matte black PP, injection-moulded at 16.8 g per piece for stack strength in transit. The Rec-Oval footprint sits midway between a square bento and a round bowl — rounded long-sides give a softer plated look while the rectangular base packs flat in delivery bags and shelf trays.
Where the 750 ml Black Rec-Oval fits
Black thinwall is specified when the contents need a visual lift. The dark base makes brightly coloured rice bowls, pasta, and salads read more saturated under café and supermarket lighting, which is why Australian café operators tend to choose black over clear for hot retail display.
Three named segments where this SKU performs:
- Australian café takeaway lunch boxes — single-portion rice bowls, poke, grain bowls. The 750 ml capacity covers one base + protein + two sides without pressing the lid.
- Premium meal-prep subscriptions — five-day meal kits where the container becomes part of the brand. Matte black photographs cleanly for marketing.
- Hotel banquet boxed meals — boardroom and conference lunches; the Rec-Oval shape stacks 20 per layer in a 68 × 41 × 47 cm carton.

Why food-grade PP at 16.8 g
PP was chosen over PS for two practical reasons: thermal range and impact resistance. PP food-grade tolerates continuous 100°C and tested peaks to 120°C, which means the container holds shape through microwave reheat (1–2 minutes covered) and through hot-fill at the kitchen line. The 16.8 g wall thickness is calibrated to resist denting when stacked 25-pack-high in transit — heavier than economy thinwall (typical 12 g) and lighter than rigid catering trays.
For freezer use down to –18°C, fill to roughly 80% capacity so liquids have headroom to expand. PP stays impact-tolerant at sub-zero where PS becomes brittle.
Ordering details
MOQ is one carton of 500 pcs. Lids are sized for the Rec-Oval footprint and ordered separately. Pricing tiers scale at 10, 50, and 200 cartons; sample sets ship before bulk for spec verification.
For larger portions on the same Rec-Oval mould, see the 1000 ml black variant. When the menu calls for retail display through a clear lid, the 750 ml clear version shares identical dimensions. Material rationale for PP vs PS vs PET across food packaging is covered in Types of Plastic: A Complete Guide for Business Owners, and the full range sits under Thinwall Food Containers.
