Rectangular Aluminum Foil Pan Technical Specifications

The following specifications describe the stated overall product range. Final availability depends on the pan model, material thickness, forming requirements and order quantity.

Rectangular Aluminum Foil Pan Sizes and Capacity Selection

Rectangular foil pans are available in different length, width and depth combinations for individual servings, family meals and commercial catering. Common reference dimensions include 9 × 13 inch and 260 × 192 mm, but these dimensions do not necessarily represent the same tray model.

For an accurate quotation, buyers should specify the outside top length and width, bottom dimensions, depth and required fill capacity. Two pans with similar top dimensions may have different capacities because of wall angle, corner radius and rim design.

8011 vs 3003 Rectangular Aluminum Foil Pans

8011 Aluminum Foil Pans for Everyday Foodservice

8011 aluminum alloy is commonly selected for disposable foil food containers because of its formability and suitability for commercial food packaging. It can be considered for takeaway meals, bakery pans, restaurant portions and standard catering applications.

The required rigidity depends on the foil gauge, temper, container dimensions, wall profile and finished rim construction.

3003 Aluminum Foil Pans for Demanding Applications

3003 aluminum alloy can be evaluated for larger or deeper food containers requiring additional structural rigidity. Its suitability for heavier portions should be confirmed through the finished pan design and load testing rather than alloy designation alone.

Both 8011 and 3003 can be supplied in application-specific conditions. Final alloy and temper selection should consider forming performance, tray strength, surface requirements and cost.

Benefits of Dingang Rectangular Aluminum Foil Pans

Designed for Rectangular Container Forming

Suitable aluminum foil and forming tools help create rectangular pans with controlled corner profiles, consistent walls and functional rims. Wrinkle-wall and smooth-wall constructions can be considered according to the intended application and available tooling.

Efficient Heat Transfer

Aluminum offers good thermal conductivity, making approved foil pans useful for baking, roasting and reheating in conventional ovens. Cooking results depend on pan geometry, food load, oven conditions and the specified temperature limits.

Rigidity for Food Handling and Transportation

Pan strength is influenced by alloy, temper, thickness, wall geometry and rim construction. Larger or heavier food portions may require thicker foil, reinforced edges or additional support during handling.

Controlled Thickness and Dimensional Accuracy

Consistent material thickness and forming dimensions help support repeatable packaging performance, stacking and lid fit. Customers can specify dimensional tolerances and visual acceptance requirements for their orders.

Nestable Design for Bulk Packing

Nested rectangular foil pans can reduce storage space and improve packing efficiency. Stackability, separation and carton quantity should be checked against the selected pan profile.

Custom Options for Food Packaging Distributors

Dingang can discuss different sizes, depths, alloys, surface treatments, lid styles and packing formats with foodservice distributors, brand owners and packaging converters.

Wrinkle-Wall vs Smooth-Wall Rectangular Foil Pans

Wrinkle-Wall Aluminum Foil Pans

Wrinkle-wall pans are commonly used for conventional disposable baking, roasting and catering applications. Their formed wall profile and rim design can provide practical handling and stacking characteristics.

Smooth-Wall Aluminum Foil Containers

Smooth-wall containers are often considered for ready meals, takeaway packaging and products requiring a clean presentation or specialized sealing. Their tooling, coating, flange and sealing requirements may differ from wrinkle-wall pans.

Please confirm whether the required product is wrinkle-wall or smooth-wall, especially when matching an existing food packaging line or lid system.

Lids, Coatings and Customization Options

Depending on the pan model and tooling, optional configurations may include plain silver surfaces, transparent lacquer, colored coatings, embossing and different rim designs. Surface treatment and coating requirements must be specified separately from the base aluminum foil pan.

Lid options can include compatible paperboard lids, aluminum foil lids and selected plastic dome lids. The correct lid depends on the top dimensions, corner radius, rim geometry and required closure method.

For customized trays, customers should provide drawings or samples and specify expected order quantity, coating requirements and intended food-contact conditions. New tooling and minimum quantities are subject to quotation.

Food Contact, Oven and Microwave Safety

Food-contact suitability must be evaluated for the specific aluminum alloy, surface finish, coatings and intended use conditions. Buyers should identify the target market, food type, temperature and contact duration and request relevant documentation for the finished pan.

Selected aluminum foil pans can be suitable for conventional oven baking and roasting when used within the manufacturer's specified limits. The original product information lists a reference temperature of approximately 230°C, but the allowable operating temperature must be confirmed for the actual pan, coating and any lid before use.

Do not assume that rectangular aluminum foil pans are microwave safe. Microwave suitability depends on the specific container, microwave appliance and operating instructions. Use aluminum containers in microwave mode only when expressly permitted by both manufacturers.

When handling acidic or highly salted foods, confirm whether a suitable coating or other protective layer is required. Recyclability also depends on local collection facilities, food contamination and attached materials.

Packaging and Delivery for Wholesale Orders

Rectangular foil pans can be nested and packed in protective export cartons. The number of pans per stack, carton quantity, carton dimensions and pallet arrangement should be agreed according to the selected model.

Indicative delivery time: 20–35 days, subject to order quantity, model availability, tooling requirements and production scheduling.

The original product information provides container-loading references of approximately 18–22 metric tons for a 20-foot container and 20–24 metric tons for a 40-foot container. These values are not finished-pan loading guarantees. Actual quantities depend on carton dimensions, packing density and transport restrictions.
