Choosing the Right Food Container

What keeps everything secure in a delivery bag is the closure. The Twist Bodega screw-top container closes with a quarter turn, with a choice of aluminium, matt grey PP or glossy black PP lid. The Boko glass jar closes with a glass lid, a rubber seal and two stainless-steel clips, providing an airtight closure suitable for sterilization. The Bokotwist, meanwhile, comes with a screw-on metal lid fitted with a sealing gasket.

Heat resistance is an essential criterion that varies depending on the material of your container. Boko and Yogur glass containers are oven-, microwave- and freezer-safe. Kraft multi-purpose containers can be hot-filled up to 100°C for soup served within the hour. The PP used for Pokebowls is microwave-safe. Unlike the other materials, the PET used for Twist Bodega and the Puro paperboard containers does not withstand high temperatures and requires chilled storage. Each product sheet specifies the exact temperature limit.

Then there is stacking and packaging. The raised lids of the Pokebowls allow full bowls to be stacked without crushing them. Quantities range from just a few pieces for glass jars to several hundred for standard kraft food-service containers.

Comatec's range of food containers provides a complete solution for professionals in the foodservice, catering and takeaway sectors. Available in glass, paperboard, PET and bagasse, these containers are designed to showcase your preparations while ensuring optimal storage and preservation.

Glass Containers, Deposit-Return Systems and Reuse

Bokotwist and Boko glass jars are not only reusable: they are designed for deposit-return systems. The customer brings the jar back, you wash it, and it goes back into service. Deposit-return networks have been developed around this principle for takeaway foodservice, and France's AGEC law is also encouraging this approach for on-site service.

The calculation is different from that of a disposable container. Glass costs more per unit, is ordered in smaller quantities and becomes cost-effective based on the number of returns. For recurring cocktail receptions or a jar-based daily meal offering for office customers, the break-even point can be reached quickly. French-made metal lids and glass-seal-clip kits extend the service life of the complete solution.

For transport and returns, the jars are secured in dedicated boxes that help prevent breakage. This approach is part of the reusable range and supports takeaway operations.

Suitable Accessories and Lids

Each container has its dedicated lid: metal lids for Bokotwist, PP or aluminium lids for Twist Bodega, PET lids for Puro bowls, and lids and seals for Boko jars. Stainless-steel clips and silicone seals complete the range for airtight closures.

One important point to check when ordering: the lid is almost always ordered separately from the container. This makes it possible to change the style without changing the container, but it means checking the lid reference on each product sheet before confirming your order. A single container can often be used with several lids.
