Hot food containers: Hot Form’s innovation
Since 1976, innovation has been at the heart of our work processes and products. At Hot Form, we have been designing and moulding containers for hot food, fresh food, ready-to-eat meals, take-away, desserts and bakery products using recyclable and recycled materials for over 40 years. We care about the environmental impact of our business, which is why we operate according to the principles of sustainable development.
Producing hot food containers means making conscious choices, which is why we have eliminated waste by recycling waste materials to produce new food packaging.
Our polypropylene hot food containers are ideal for containing foods such as meat, pasta and side dishes, as well as sauces and gravies. The range of hot food containers includes PP trays with hinged, separated or heat-sealable lids, square, rectangular or round, also in different colours.
The range also includes single or multi-compartment hot food containers, which allow the separation of the different foods contained, preventing contamination and preserving freshness and taste.
The practicality of use and the possibility of customisation of PP hot food containers facilitate the organisation and display of food on the deli counter, making it easier and more attractive for customers. Thanks to our in-house customisation workshop, we are able to meet the most specific requirements, designing and manufacturing customised multi-compartment hot food containers for greater convenience during packaging and distribution.

Microwaveable hot food containers
The Hot Form range of hot food containers includes polypropylene (PP) trays suitable for use in microwave ovens. Their resistance to high temperatures ensures that food remains hot and tasty during the heating process. In addition, the hermetically sealed design prevents liquids from spilling or leaking during cooking.
Polypropylene is a highly recyclable material with excellent chemical and thermal resistance, which is why it is used in the production of hot food containers.
In fact, PP is a versatile material that can be applied to different forms of packaging and is transparent, allowing a complete view of the product. Thermally, it offers an excellent level of resistance to moisture and high temperatures, making it suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Hot food containers: the Hotty and Hotty Light ranges
The Hotty range of hot food containers is made of polypropylene (PP) and is 100% recyclable. The trays are designed for packaging hot foods, such as pasta and meat, and are available in 9 sizes, from 250 ml to 2000 ml.
The Hotty family is designed for use in microwave ovens and is also available with 2 or 3 compartments. Finally, it has a hinged lid to ensures the correct storage of food.
The main innovation of the new Hotty and Hotty Light is that they can be reused. The trays are dishwasher safe, making them extremely practical and functional.

The Rosty and Ready lines to keep food hot
The Rosty and Ready lines of hot food containers are practical, versatile and reliable solutions for transporting and storing hot or ready-to-eat food.
The Rosty family includes PP hot food containers with a separate OPS Antifog lid. Unlike polypropylene, OPS does not have the same heat resistance properties and is therefore not suitable for use in microwaves. Rosty hot food containers are available in rectangular, square, domed lid and multi-compartment formats.
The Ready family, on the other hand, offers PP hot food containers that can also be used in a modified atmosphere (MAP). The products are available in square, rectangular and round formats, with lids or heat-sealable. They are available in white, black and transparent upon request.
