Every container has a temperature range. Which is rare in this catalog.

The coverage

A temperature range is published on all 176 containers in this group. No blanks.

Which is better than anything else we publish

Material is near-complete, capacity has gaps on some shelves, neck finish has 25 blanks here, and liner is patchy everywhere.

So for once the data answers the question fully

Which is worth saying, because most properties in this library are partly about a field that is missing.

And the question it answers is the right one for this group

A meal prep container is chosen on whether it survives the freezer and the microwave, and that is what the field describes.

The four values make it easy to read

Not a continuous range per product but four bands, which means four decisions rather than 176.

And the bands map onto materials

109 PET at -40 to 120 F, and the 45 at 0 to 240 F are the polypropylene ones. Material and rating are telling the same story.

Which is a useful cross-check

If a rating and a material disagree on a product page, that is a reason to ask rather than to pick.

25 containers have no neck finish

Those are the tubs, which close with a lid across their full diameter. The 11 round tub lids and 3 pail lids are what fit them.

The closure shelf is thin on barriers

174 of the 245 closures are plain continuous thread polypropylene lids, with 5 sealing discs and 1 tamper evident lid.

Which for a reusable household container is correct

A barrier matters for a product sold sealed. A container reopened daily needs a reseal, and that is what a plain lid is.

Buyability is middling

105 of 176 available, 72 quote only, 18 full case only, with case packs from 16 to 3,150 and a median of 208.

A case pack of 16 is the useful end

For a household or a small operation testing a format, 16 is buyable and 3,150 is not.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. A temperature range specification is published on all 176 containers in this group and takes exactly four values: -40 to 120 F on 109 containers, 0 to 240 F on 45, -100 to 190 F on 20, and -100 to 300 F on 2. So 109 of 176 top out at 120 F. The cold-tolerant groups stop at 120 or 190 F and the heat-tolerant group bottoms out at 0 F, so only the 2 containers rated -100 to 300 F span both a freezer and an oven. Catalog-wide the field takes nine values. A temperature range is not a statement that a container is microwave, dishwasher or oven safe; only a manufacturer can make those.

Written from 21 CFR 107.20(c) and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Nothing here says what other federal date labeling requirements exist, how long any leftover keeps, or whether any container is microwave, dishwasher or oven safe: a published temperature range is not one of those statements and only a manufacturer can make them. The temperature range field is published on all 176 containers in this group and takes four values, of which only one, on two containers, spans a freezer and an oven.
