What is a hinged-lid container, and which sizes does AVI make?
Short answer
A hinged-lid container is a one-piece tray and lid joined by a hinge, so it closes without a separate lid. AVI makes them in rPET for salads, cut fruit, herbs and snacks, from the AT 350 / 240 (145 × 100 × 35 mm) to the AT 1800 / 1750 (218 × 155 × 85 mm), and for bakery and deli in the AT 250 to AT 500 ranges.

Why hinged
One piece means no lost lids, faster packing and a pack that re-closes. For extra security, AVI also makes tamper-evident versions.

What does hinged lid mean?
The lid is attached to the base along one edge, so it swings open and shut like a box instead of lifting off.
