Wholesale insulated food jars for portable meals
Compare food jars by serving capacity, utensil storage and carry format. Start with a model that fits the meal, then confirm the lid, inner surface, decoration and packing against an approved sample.
Wholesale insulated food jars are wide-mouth vacuum containers that keep soup, porridge or a hot meal warm, or a salad cold, until lunchtime. BG Drinkware, a drinkware manufacturer in Yongkang, China, makes food jars from 300 ml to 1,050 ml with a 304 stainless steel inner wall and a 201 outer wall, including models with a folding spoon, a removable inner compartment and lids that double as a bowl. The closures are leak-resistant when every part is fitted and fully closed. Every vacuum jar is temperature-tested unit by unit before shipping, and BG Drinkware's standard heat-retention check uses 95°C water measured after 6 hours, or the buyer's own method. Most models start at 500 pieces per colour, and the 300 ml jar at 1,000 pieces. A sample of an existing model takes up to 7 days, and bulk production takes 7–12 days after approval.

Find a food jar to match your brief

For example, the 300ml jar with fork and 500ml / 750ml jar with inner compartment need different portion and accessory checks. Confirm the chosen version before quoting a mixed-capacity or private-label order.

Selection guide
Choose beyond capacity alone
The useful jar is the one that fits the portion and the way it will be carried, opened and eaten from. Check these four details before approving a sample.
Check the opening
Ask for the mouth diameter and test filling, eating and cleaning with the intended food and utensils.
Confirm what travels with it
Forks, folding spoons and their storage positions differ by model. Check retention and access on the assembled sample.
Check closure and carry method
Review the closure, gasket and carry feature together, then test the packed jar in the intended bag or carton.
Sample approval
Agree on the checks before bulk production
A food jar sample should be assessed as a complete assembly—not by its capacity label or exterior finish alone. Set the acceptance conditions for the selected model and market.
01 · FIT & MATERIAL
Body, lid and food-contact parts
Confirm the specified inner material, rim, gasket, utensil holder and lid fit on the same sample version.
02 · FUNCTION
Seal and temperature checks
Define fill level, food type, starting temperature, ambient conditions, test duration and pass criteria. Do not treat an unspecified “hours hot” claim as a test result.
03 · PRESENTATION
Logo and packed configuration
Check color and print position, accessory count, label placement, retail pack and carton marks against the approved order.

Wholesale food jar FAQ
Resolve model-specific details before approving the sample or final quantity split.
What should I compare when buying insulated food jars in bulk?
Start with serving capacity, opening diameter, lid and gasket design, utensil storage, carry format and the intended food. Then confirm the inner material, decoration and packaging for the selected model. Request an assembled sample so fit, handling and acceptance checks can be agreed before production.
Does every food jar include a spoon or fork?
No. Accessories vary by model. The current range includes designs with a folding spoon and a compact jar with a fork, but the supplied configuration must be checked on the specific product and quotation. Confirm the utensil material, storage position and quantity per pack before sample approval.
Can the lid, body color and logo be customized?
Customization depends on the selected food jar and order specification. Share the target body and lid colors, vector logo artwork, print position, quantity by color and packaging direction. BG Drinkware can then review feasibility and identify which details require a physical sample rather than approval from a rendering alone.
How should thermal and leak performance be evaluated?
Agree on a test for the complete jar: contents, fill level, starting temperature, ambient temperature, duration, orientation and acceptance limit. A result from one model or test condition should not be applied to every food jar. Record the method and outcome against the approved sample and intended use.
Can several capacities be included in one wholesale order?
A mixed-capacity order can be assessed, but MOQ, color split, decoration, packing and sampling may differ between versions. Send the quantity required for each capacity and color so the factory can confirm the production and quotation basis for each configuration.
What information is needed for a food jar quotation?
Send the product shortlist, capacity, total quantity and split, logo artwork, target colors, utensil and lid requirements, packaging, destination market and required timing. Include any food-contact document or performance-test requirement so it can be reviewed for the chosen model before approval.
How long does an insulated food jar keep food hot?
It depends on the food, the starting temperature, the fill level and the room. BG Drinkware's standard check fills a vessel with 95°C water and measures the temperature after 6 hours, or follows the buyer's method. Use the measured result on the approved sample in your claims.
Can a stainless steel food jar go in the microwave?
No. Stainless steel should not go in a microwave. Heat the food in a microwave-safe dish, warm the jar with hot water for a few minutes, then fill it. Put this on the care card. Stainless steel jars can be washed by hand with warm soapy water; take the lid seal out to clean it.
