Divided Fruit Salad Bento Container

Professional-Grade Divided Fruit Salad Bento Container for Commercial Use

The body is molded from food-grade PP5 polypropylene — the same material used for microwave-safe food containers — so it goes from the refrigerator to the microwave to the dishwasher on a daily rotation without cracking or clouding. Six compartments are molded as one piece: a 500 ml main bay for a sandwich, wrap or pasta, a 220 ml and 180 ml mid-section for salad or fruit, and three smaller pockets that keep berries, snacks and dips from touching. Because the dividers stand to full depth and each wall seals under the gasket line, flavors stay where they were packed — the curry does not become a strawberry problem.

This box and our silicone divided storage tray solve different problems, and many buyers stock both. The silicone tray is built for heat: freezer to oven, 230°C, batch cooking and reheating in the same vessel. This bento box is built for transport: it weighs less, latches shut, carries a full lunch with its own fork and spoon, and costs less per unit at program volumes. The body is PP5 for stiffness and latch durability — silicone flexes, which is wrong when the lid has to stay clamped in a backpack. If your brief is freezer-to-oven, order the silicone tray; if it is lunch bags, school programs and snack service, this is the box.

Care is deliberately simple: top-rack dishwasher, microwave with the lid off or vented, and refrigerator storage straight from the cupboard. The silicone gasket rinses clean and holds no odor once dry. Fill the compartments to the divider line rather than heaping above it — a heaped fill sits in the gasket path and that is the one way to defeat the seal. The four latches are sized for repeated use by children; they clip with a light press and release without pinching.

Custom Silicone Mold Tooling

Silicone tooling is where our own mold shop matters: the cavity, the parting line and the draft angle decide whether a mold releases cleanly for two thousand cycles or two hundred.

• Cavity Design - send a sketch or a 3D file; we return a mold proposal with wall thickness and parting line marked.
• Cure and Hardness - platinum-cured as standard, with Shore A selected for the release behavior you need rather than the cheapest compound.
• Color - Pantone-matched compound, held on file so reorders do not drift.
• Logo - embossed in the steel so the mark is molded into the part and never washes off.
• Mold Fee - credited back against your first bulk production run.
