97 oz Takeout Containers with a Large Square Base
Our 97 oz takeout containers provide restaurants, caterers and professional food-service operations with a large square packaging format for family meals, shareable portions and substantial prepared-food assortments.
The PackToGo 883 features an approximately 8 × 8-inch square base and a 3-inch height. This configuration provides a broad horizontal presentation surface that distinguishes it from the rectangular PackToGo 96 oz container, despite their nearly identical capacities.
Made in Canada by Seaside Paper Products, these containers feature a natural paperboard exterior, a poly-lined interior and an integrated folding closure. Each commercial case contains 90 containers.
A Large 97 oz Capacity
The 97 oz capacity corresponds to approximately 2.87 litres. It is one of the largest PackToGo formats offered by ConceptASR.
This volume may be suitable for businesses that need to package portions exceeding standard individual meal sizes. It may also allow several food items to be combined in one package when their shape, weight and characteristics are compatible with the container.
These 97 oz containers may be evaluated for packaging:
- Family meals
- Shareable portions
- Catering orders
- Sandwich assortments
- Pasta dishes
- Large salads
- Combination meals
- Chicken with several side dishes
- Rice or vegetable dishes
- Compatible bakery products
- Orders prepared for meetings
- Food intended for events
- Corporate lunch orders
- Prepared-food assortments
- Large restaurant portions
The final container selection should always consider the volume, dimensions, temperature, weight and consistency of the food.
Large 8 × 8-Inch Square Base
The bottom of the container measures approximately 8 × 8 inches, providing a broad and balanced presentation surface.
This square configuration makes it easier to arrange several food components than in a narrow or deeply rectangular container. A main portion may be positioned beside several garnishes or side dishes without requiring excessive stacking.
The square base may also be suitable for certain:
- Sandwich assortments
- Bakery products
- Pastries
- Large meal salads
- Pasta dishes
- Prepared-food combinations
- Chicken portions
- Catering assortments
- Foods intended to be shared
Compatibility should be confirmed by comparing the container’s dimensions with the products actually prepared by the establishment. Capacity expressed in ounces indicates the approximate volume, but the food’s length, width and height remain equally important.
A Practical Three-Inch Height
The PackToGo 883 has an approximate height of 3 inches. This provides substantial interior space while maintaining a large horizontal surface.
This configuration may help businesses:
- Arrange several foods in one container
- Present a main portion with multiple side dishes
- Accommodate foods of different shapes
- Reduce excessive stacking
- Prepare assortments intended for sharing
- Package bulky orders
- Protect toppings and garnishes
- Maintain an organized food presentation
The container should not be overfilled. Enough clearance must remain for the upper panels to fold and close correctly without compressing the food.
Natural Paperboard Exterior
The natural paperboard exterior gives the PackToGo 883 a simple and professional appearance. This presentation may complement many restaurant and food-service concepts and can be used for daily takeout orders, events and catering services.
The natural kraft-style colour can coordinate with:
- Brown paper bags
- Kraft napkins
- Beverage carriers
- Natural paper cups
- Bakery boxes
- Food trays
- Commercial labels
- Branded stickers
- Tamper-evident seals
The large exterior surface may also provide space for order labels containing:
- The customer’s name
- The order number
- The contents
- Preparation information
- Storage instructions
- Allergen information
- Reheating instructions
- A restaurant logo
- A promotional message
Businesses are responsible for ensuring that food, allergen, storage and preparation information is accurate and appropriate for the products being sold.
Poly-Lined Interior
The PackToGo 883 includes a poly-lined interior. The lining creates a distinct internal surface between the food and the natural paperboard exterior.
This construction may be useful for prepared foods containing:
- Moisture
- Sauce
- Dressing
- Grease
- Cooking juices
- Garnishes
- Warm ingredients
- Cold ingredients
The presence of a poly lining does not automatically make the container completely leakproof. Performance depends on food consistency, the amount of liquid, temperature, holding time and transportation conditions.
Soups, broths and foods composed primarily of liquid should be placed in specialized containers with compatible lids.
The lining may also affect recycling or composting options. Collection requirements vary between municipalities and processing facilities. Businesses should verify local programs before making environmental disposal claims.
Integrated Folding Closure
The container is designed with panels that fold together to create the upper closure. No separate plastic lid is required for its intended assembly.
This integrated closure may help food-service businesses:
- Reduce the number of packaging components
- Simplify supplier orders
- Facilitate inventory control
- Avoid using an incompatible lid
- Standardize meal presentation
- Assemble containers according to demand
- Add a closure or tamper-evident label
- Reduce mismatched packaging pieces
Staff should fold all panels correctly before placing the container inside a bag or giving it to the customer.
Before completing an order, employees should:
- Confirm that the container is clean and undamaged.
- Assemble the bottom and side panels correctly.
- Place a portion compatible with the available capacity.
- Avoid filling beyond the usable height.
- Wipe food residue from the edges.
- Fold and secure the upper panels.
- Confirm that the bottom remains stable.
- Keep the container level.
- Use an appropriately sized takeout bag.
Supplied Flat for Efficient Storage
The 97 oz containers are supplied flat. This is particularly beneficial for such a large model because fully assembled empty boxes would occupy substantially more space in a kitchen or storage area.
The containers can remain inside their original case and be assembled progressively as orders are received.
Businesses may prepare several boxes before:
- Busy meal periods
- Catering events
- Corporate meetings
- Group orders
- Seasonal periods
- Large takeout orders
When several PackToGo capacities are stored in the same location, each storage area should be clearly identified. This helps avoid confusing the 97 oz square model with the 96 oz rectangular format.
Commercial Case of 90 Containers
The PackToGo 883 is sold in a commercial case containing 90 units. The approximate case weight is 20 lb.
The number of units per case is lower than that of smaller PackToGo models because each unassembled container occupies more space.
A case of 90 units may be suitable for establishments using large boxes for specific orders, including:
- Family portions
- Shareable meals
- Group orders
- Catering events
- Food assortments
- Corporate orders
- Holiday meals
- Periods of increased demand
Businesses can estimate how long one case will last by calculating the average number of large-format orders prepared each week.
For example:
- At 5 containers per day, one case represents approximately 18 operating days.
- At 10 containers per day, one case represents approximately 9 operating days.
- At 15 containers per day, one case represents approximately 6 operating days.
- At 30 containers per day, one case represents approximately 3 operating days.
These examples are provided only to help with inventory planning.
For Restaurants and Catering Services
The PackToGo 883 may meet the requirements of different professional food-service operations, including:
- Restaurants
- Catering companies
- Food counters
- Cafeterias
- Commercial kitchens
- Grocery prepared-food departments
- Bakeries
- Cafés serving meals
- Hotels
- Institutional food services
- Event organizers
- Reception halls
- Corporate cafeterias
- Meal-delivery businesses
Its large square format can complement a packaging selection primarily designed for individual portions.
Family Meals and Shareable Portions
The large surface and 2.87-litre capacity may be particularly useful for orders intended for more than one person.
Depending on the type and weight of the food, the container may accommodate:
- A family-size pasta dish
- A large meal salad
- A sandwich assortment
- Chicken with multiple side dishes
- A large portion of rice and vegetables
- A pastry assortment
- A corporate lunch selection
- Food prepared for a meeting
- A meal intended for sharing
- A restaurant combination order
Businesses should evaluate the total weight placed inside the container. A lightweight, bulky assortment does not place the same pressure on the paperboard as a dense and heavy meal.
Testing the container under actual service and delivery conditions is recommended before adopting it for regular high-volume use.
Difference Between the 96 oz and 97 oz Formats
The PackToGo collection includes a 96 oz model and the PackToGo 883 with a 97 oz capacity. Despite having almost the same volume, these are not duplicate products.
The 96 oz container features:
- A rectangular base measuring approximately 7.75 × 5.5 inches
- A height of approximately 3.5 inches
- A capacity of approximately 2.84 L
- A deeper and narrower presentation
- A case quantity of 160 containers
The 97 oz PackToGo 883 features:
- A square base measuring approximately 8 × 8 inches
- A height of approximately 3 inches
- A capacity of approximately 2.87 L
- A much broader horizontal presentation surface
- A case quantity of 90 containers
The choice should therefore be based on the shape of the food and the desired presentation rather than the difference of only one ounce.
Choose the 96 oz model when additional depth is required. Choose the 97 oz PackToGo 883 when the food benefits from a broader square surface.
Food Presentation and Transportation
To help protect the presentation of the order:
- Avoid overfilling the container
- Select an appropriate portion
- Separate sauces when necessary
- Limit movement during transportation
- Close the panels without compressing the food
- Keep the box level
- Use a sufficiently wide takeout bag
- Avoid placing heavy items on top
- Test stacking before delivery
- Separate warm and cold products when appropriate
Foods that must remain crispy may require ventilation or a different type of packaging. The establishment should select its container according to the food’s characteristics and expected transportation time.

The PackToGo 883 takeout containers are manufactured in Canada by Seaside Paper Products, a Canadian manufacturer of paper packaging products for food-service operations.
