Molded Fiber Container

TPX-PP Laminated Molded Fiber Container

Part No. TPX-MFC · Multiple Sizes

A finished, ready-to-fill food container built from a molded plant-fiber base laminated with TPX-PP film and topped with a clear PET lid. Retains the full functionality of conventional plastic packaging while reducing plastic usage by over 85% — dual-ovenable, leak-proof, and oil-resistant.

Molded Fiber Container

A Finished, Ready-to-Fill Container Built for Extreme Heat and Sustainability

This is a finished foodservice container rather than a raw film grade: roughly 90% molded fiber to 10% TPX-PP laminated film, topped with a clear PET lid, bringing total plastic content down to 10.75% of a comparable all-plastic tray. Despite the plant-fiber base it handles fatty, high-heat foods up to 160°C and is fully dual-ovenable, and its leak-proof, multi-compartment design with a non-stick surface is FDA-compliant and SGS-certified for food contact.

Where This Container Is Used

  • 1

    Ready-to-Eat Convenience Meals

    Ready-to-eat and fresh convenience meals. TPX-MFC is a finished, ready-to-fill container — a molded plant-fiber tray laminated with TPX-PP film and topped with a clear PET lid — so no separate lamination step is needed.

  • 2

    Frozen-to-Oven Entrees

    Frozen-to-oven entrees. Rated to 160°C and fully dual-ovenable for both microwave and conventional oven, so the same container carries the meal from the freezer cabinet to the plate.

  • 3

    Premium Takeout and Delivery

    Premium takeout, delivery, and catering services. Plastic content is 10.75%, against 100% for a conventional PP container and 25.37% for a folded paper box with an inner plastic tray — a figure operators can put in front of customers.

  • 4

    High-Fat Meals and Fried Foods

    High-fat dishes, curry rice, bento, pasta, fried foods, and light meals. The container is leak-proof and oil-resistant, which is what allows a fiber-based pack to take saucy and fried contents that would otherwise soak through.

Product Specifications

TPX-MFC is Intlpak's finished TPX-PP laminated molded fiber container — a dual-ovenable molded fiber food container rated to 160°C with a clear PET lid, at 10.75% plastic content versus 100% for a conventional PP container.

Why This Container Performs

Just 10.75% plastic content — versus 100% for a conventional PP container and 25.37% for a folded paper box with inner plastic tray.
Withstands fatty foods up to 160°C — fully dual-ovenable, safe in both microwave and conventional oven.
Leak-proof and oil-resistant — holds high-oil, high-sauce ready meals without softening, leaking, or losing structural integrity.
FDA-compliant & SGS-certified — TPX material meets 21 CFR 177.1520(c)3.3b and 21 CFR 178.2010; finished containers passed SGS migration and extraction testing.
Circular-economy ready — the easy-peel lid film separates cleanly from the fiber base for effortless rinsing and recycling.
Mono-material, multi-compartment design — a non-stick surface and integrated compartments eliminate the need for separate multi-component packaging.

Storage Notice

Avoid exposure to direct light, wind, and rain — store under appropriate conditions. Prevent products from slipping from high places, being polluted, or being impacted during handling.

Quality & Certification

Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management and GMP clean-room production, with ISO 22000 & HACCP food-safety certification. TPX material complies with US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c)3.3b and 21 CFR 178.2010; finished containers passed SGS migration and extraction testing (SGS Test Report No. HTF25A00088), verifiable on the SGS Safe 365 platform.

Common Questions

Questions About TPX-MFC

TPX-MFC is a finished container — how does it differ from the TPX-PP films?

One is material, the other is product. F4403 , F4407 and F4408 are lamination films sold to container converters; TPX-MFC is a formed fiber tray with a clear PET lid that brands and foodservice operators can adopt directly, with no molded fiber line of their own.

Plastic content of 10.75% — against what baseline?

Against 100% for a conventional PP container. TPX-MFC's body is molded plant fiber, leaving plastic only in the food-contact film layer and the PET lid, which brings total plastic content to 10.75%. Where your ESG reporting measures plastic by weight, that is a directly citable comparison.

Can TPX-MFC go in the oven — including the lid?

The tray is heat resistant to 160°C and both microwave- and oven-safe; the clear PET lid is a different material and is not designed to go into the oven with it. Remove the lid or follow the pack marking before heating, and validate with your actual heating programme rather than applying the tray's rating to the whole assembly.

What sizes and capacities does TPX-MFC come in?

Multiple sizes and capacities, with the current product catalogue as the authoritative list — the range updates as production changes, so this page avoids publishing a fixed list that would go stale. Send your portion sizes, dimensional requirements and estimated volumes to our sales team and we will provide the full current specification sheet.

Why TPX rather than ordinary PP coating?

Because the use case combines high heat with high fat — the pairing most likely to drive additive and microplastic migration, and exactly what reheating a meal tray involves. TPX-MFC's food-contact layer is an FDA-approved food-grade TPX co-extrusion aimed at that risk, which is the core difference from a conventional coated paper container.

We want a ready-to-use container, not a film — what is available?

TPX-MFC is the finished product: a moulded plant-fibre tray laminated with TPX-PP film and supplied with a clear PET lid, ready to fill. It is dual-ovenable to 160°C, so it goes from chiller to microwave or conventional oven to table. Multiple sizes and compartment configurations are offered — see the current Intlpak product catalog for the full range.

How much plastic is actually in a fibre-based food container?

In this one, 10.75% — the figure Intlpak publishes for TPX-MFC, against 100% for a conventional PP container and 25.37% for a folded paper box with an inner plastic tray. The fibre body carries the structure and the TPX-PP lamination provides the liquid and grease barrier plus the sealing surface. Disposal and recycling rules differ by market, so confirm locally.
