In the UK takeaway and catering industry, aluminium foil containers are widely classified by standard numbers such as NO1, NO2, NO6, NO6a, and NO9. These numbers do not refer to a single brand or product, but to widely accepted industry specifications used across food packaging suppliers.
Among them, the No.1 aluminium foil container represents the smallest commonly used standard size, mainly designed for small portion packaging applications.
What Is a No.1 Aluminium Foil Container?
A No.1 aluminium foil container refers to a small-sized food packaging tray widely used in the UK catering and takeaway industry.
It is typically used for single small portions such as side dishes, sauces, desserts, or tasting portions.
Although exact dimensions may vary slightly depending on manufacturers, No.1 containers are generally designed to provide compact packaging solutions with minimal material usage while maintaining strength and heat resistance.
This makes them an efficient choice for businesses that require small-volume food packaging.
