Smart Design for Freshness & Separation The container's 40oz capacity includes one large 23.5oz section (7.8″ × 4.0″ × 2.3″) and two smaller 8.6oz sections (3.8″ × 3.6″ × 2.3″). This layout prevents flavor mixing and ensures each dish maintains its integrity from kitchen to customer. Crystal-Clear Presentation Made from crystal-clear polypropylene, the container enhances food visibility while its engineered design prevents shifting during delivery.
