Deli & Prepared Food Packaging

Can I use these containers for both hot-fill and cold-fill applications?

Glass containers are generally well-suited for hot-fill applications due to their thermal resistance, making them a strong choice for products like soups, stews, sauces, and preserved foods that are packaged at elevated temperatures. Plastic containers are typically better suited for cold or room-temperature fills. We recommend sterilization before filling containers. Please review product specifications for each container and consult our team if you have specific temperature or fill requirements for your application.

Are the containers in the Deli and Prepared Foods catalog food-safe?

Yes. All containers available through Burch Bottle's Deli and Prepared Foods catalog are food-grade and appropriate for direct contact with consumable products. Our glass containers are non-reactive and do not absorb odors or flavors, making them a popular choice for acidic or aromatic foods. Our plastic options are also food-safe and selected with practical handling and storage in mind.

What is the order processing time for deli and prepared food containers?

Once an order is placed, please allow 2 to 3 business days for order processing before shipment. If you have questions about case quantities, pricing, or finding the right container for your specific product, our team is available by phone at (800) 903-2830 or by email at info@burchbottle.com.
