Our custom packaging support covers PET cold cups, fruit clamshell containers, bakery and cake containers, salad and deli containers, tamper-evident food containers, fresh produce packaging, and other clear food packaging applications.
For cup projects, buyers can discuss custom cup size, capacity, top diameter, height, lid matching, and printed branding. For food container projects, buyers can first review YIHAO’s 500+ existing molds. If no suitable option matches the required size, structure, or application, custom mold development can be discussed.
Custom Cup Size and Capacity
For PET cup projects, buyers can discuss cup capacity, top diameter, height, cup shape, and lid compatibility. This is suitable for iced coffee, juice, smoothies, fruit tea, cold brew, milk tea, dessert drinks, and other cold beverage applications.
Cup Printing and Branding
For PET cups, YIHAO can discuss logo printing, cup body printing, custom artwork, and private label branding based on print area, artwork requirements, order quantity, and production conditions.
Existing Mold Selection
For food containers, buyers can first review YIHAO’s 500+ existing molds to compare available sizes, shapes, capacities, lid styles, and application options.
Custom Mold Development
If existing molds cannot match the project, YIHAO can discuss custom mold development for food containers.
Custom Mold Development for PET and rPET Food Containers
For PET and rPET food containers, YIHAO recommends a practical development path: review existing molds first, then discuss custom mold development when needed.
This is more efficient than starting every project from zero. Many common food packaging sizes and structures may already be available in YIHAO’s 500+ existing mold library. If an existing mold cannot match the buyer’s required size, structure, lid design, or application, YIHAO can discuss custom mold development based on the project details.
Fruit Clamshell and Fresh Produce Containers
YIHAO can discuss custom mold development for fruit clamshell containers and fresh produce packaging used for strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherry tomatoes, cut fruit, and other fresh produce applications. Custom mold directions may include footprint, height, capacity, hinged lid structure, vent holes, locking tabs, stacking design, and retail display shape. This helps produce brands, supermarkets, growers, packers, and distributors choose packaging that supports visibility, ventilation, handling, and shelf presentation.
Bakery, Cake, and Dessert Containers
For bakery containers, cake containers, and dessert packaging, YIHAO can discuss custom mold development based on product size, display needs, and transport protection requirements. Custom options may include dome lid height, base structure, flat lid or dome lid design, stacking performance, portion size, wall thickness, and display shape. This is suitable for cakes, pastries, cookies, muffins, desserts, bakery counters, and grab-and-go bakery products.
Salad and Deli Food Containers
For salad containers and deli containers, mold development can be discussed when buyers need specific capacity, lid fit, compartment layout, or stacking performance. Available custom directions may include capacity, portion size, compartment layout, lid structure, wall thickness, stacking design, and leak-resistant structure discussion. This supports salads, deli foods, cold meals, pasta salads, snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and foodservice packaging projects.
Tamper-Evident Food Containers
For retail food and takeaway applications, YIHAO can discuss tamper-evident food container mold development when buyers need safer closure, stronger shelf confidence, or application-specific security features. Custom mold directions may include front lock design, tamper-evident structure, locking tabs, lid security, hinged lid structure, wall thickness, and stacking performance. This is suitable for supermarket prepared foods, deli products, takeaway meals, salad packaging, and retail food containers.
Special Application Food Packaging
Some food packaging projects require unique structures that cannot be matched by standard molds. For these projects, YIHAO can discuss special application food packaging development based on the buyer’s food type, packing process, and target market. Custom directions may include special footprint, adjusted height, custom capacity, special lid design, ventilation layout, compartment structure, product visibility area, and application-specific packaging shape. This option is useful for buyers who need differentiated packaging for private label products, retail shelf display, seasonal food lines, or special foodservice applications.
Mold Direction Review Before Development
Before starting a custom mold project, YIHAO helps buyers review the key mold direction to avoid unnecessary development risk. The review may include product use, food type, target size, capacity, lid structure, material option, wall thickness, packing method, stacking requirement, target market, and whether an existing mold can be used first. This process helps buyers make a more practical decision: use an existing mold when possible, or move into custom mold development only when the product truly requires a unique size, structure, or application design.

PET and rPET Material Notes for Custom Packaging Buyers
PET is widely used for clear food packaging because it offers high transparency, lightweight structure, and practical display performance for cold food and retail packaging applications.
For custom projects, PET is commonly used for PET cold cups, fruit clamshell containers, bakery containers, salad boxes, deli packaging, dessert packaging, and fresh produce containers.
rPET uses recycled PET material and can support buyers looking for packaging options aligned with recycled material goals, retail sustainability expectations, or market-specific packaging requirements.
Both PET and rPET should be evaluated based on food application, product visibility, lid fit, thickness, stacking performance, packing method, and target market.
The final material choice should not be based only on material name. It should match the product use, packaging structure, order requirements, and expected retail presentation.
Why Material Choice Matters for Custom Packaging
- Clear Product Display Transparent PET and rPET packaging helps customers see the food clearly, which is important for fruit, bakery, salad, deli, dessert, and cold drink products.
- Structure and Lid Performance Material choice affects lid fit, container strength, stacking performance, and daily handling during packing, storage, and transport.
- Custom Project Matching Different projects may require different material thicknesses, cup sizes, lid styles, vent holes, compartments, or tamper-evident structures.
- Market and Buyer Requirements Some buyers may prefer rPET options for recycled material direction, while others may focus on clarity, structure, cost control, or food display performance.
- Wholesale and Export Practicality For importers and distributors, the right material choice helps support carton packing, repeat orders, sample approval, and export supply consistency.
