Inline Plastics has announced the latest expansion of its Safe-T-Chef® product line with the introduction of two new 8×6 polypropylene container options (SKUs C8616D and C8616F), designed to meet the evolving demands of hot foodservice, prepared meals, and microwavable at-home applications.
Manufactured from microwave-safe polypropylene (PP), the new containers provide foodservice operators and retailers with a dependable packaging solution for fresh, ready-to-heat meals—without compromising on appearance, durability, or performance.
Flexible Configurations for Merchandising and Operations
The new Safe-T-Chef® 8×6 containers are available in two lid configurations, allowing operators to tailor packaging to specific menu and merchandising needs:
- Flat lids offer a low-profile format ideal for efficient stacking, transport, and shelf-ready presentation.
- Domed lids provide additional headspace for larger entrées or foods requiring extra vertical clearance.
This flexibility supports both back-of-house efficiency and front-of-shelf appeal.
Built-In Tamper Protection and Leak Resistance
A key differentiator of the new Safe-T-Chef® containers is their integrated tamper protection system. Each container features a tamper-evident tear strip combined with a tamper-resistant perimeter seal that also functions as a leak-resistant barrier.
This dual-purpose design gives operators added confidence when packaging foods with sauces, gravies, or high-moisture components, ensuring meals remain secure, intact, and visibly unopened throughout distribution—from kitchen to consumer.
Designed for Today’s Heat-Ready Meal Programs
Engineered for durability, food safety, and ease of use, the new Safe-T-Chef® 8×6 containers deliver the clarity, protection, and heat-ready performance required by modern foodservice and retail prepared-meal programs.
Inline Plastics also confirmed that black base options and vented lid configurations will be introduced in future product releases, further expanding the versatility of the Safe-T-Chef® line.
