Aluminium Containers
Disposable aluminium foil containers from Alfa Foil are made at our own plant in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and supplied direct to restaurants, caterers, bakeries, sweet shops and distributors across India. The ALFA range runs from 70 ml portion cups to 900 ml meal trays. It also includes 3CP and 4CP compartment containers and 6 and 7 inch round baking tins. All are food-grade aluminium that holds heat, keeps its shape in the oven and can be recycled after use.

When aluminium beats plastic
Choose aluminium when food goes into an oven or has to stay hot through a long delivery. These containers go straight from oven to customer, are freezer safe for prepared meals, and don’t soften with oily gravies. They are not for microwave use. For cold items, light sides and microwave reheating, DAKON plastic containers are the better fit. Our guide to aluminium vs plastic containers for food delivery compares the two side by side, and bakers can read about using aluminium foil containers for baking.
