Aluminium Foil Containers No.9 1.5" 180 Pack
The default takeaway main
Across Indian and Chinese takeaways, the No.9 1.5" is the default main-course foil — sized so two units drop into a standard carrier bag alongside a pilau tray and a naan bag. Operators running a mixed range pair it with the shallower no.6 foil container for sides and starters. Supplied in packs of 180.
