Food Container Sizes (with Charts)
As someone from outside the US, I had some culture-shock experiences with US food containers.
Down here in South East Asia, our food containers pretty much come in similar sizes. Small, medium, or large containers. Deep or shallow containers. There are a lot of different brands, but most only offer slight variances of those models.
Fast forward, I discovered that there are soooo many sizes of food container sizes in the US. Admittedly, it’s interesting. You can get containers with different shapes and dimensions, even for the same capacity.
Yet I found 2 problems that grind my gears: (1) The websites only list the capacity without any dimensions, and (2) I had to spend some time before finding the dimensions for the container I wanted.
It’s all fine and dandy when I want to know the dimensions for 2-3 sizes. Imagine the problem of comparing 10, 20, or more containers between the different brands.
So I set out to find out whether there are some standard sizes for them. But after researching several big brands, I decided to just give up on finding those ‘standard’ sizes.
Since I already have a list of the measurements for those food containers, it won’t hurt to post them here in Gizigo for others . Just so you can compare their dimensions more easily.
Here is the checklist for the brands I cover on this page:
You can also download the complete charts (sorted by shapes) near the end of this article.
Hopefully, it’d be helpful for some of our readers out there.
Keep in mind that I only researched the basic model. These lists are by no means exhaustive lists. I didn’t include the containers with dividers, or the containers with fancy additions, or the sets.
The hundred or thousand listings on Walmart or Amazon, or Target? Nope. This page only lists the sizes shown on their respective official websites.
If you feel this article is helpful for you, please leave a comment and I’ll try to update the article with more brands to follow.

Additional Tips from a Registered Dietitian
How do you decide which sizes of food containers to choose?
Food containers vary significantly in size. Selecting suitable food containers can result in a kitchen full of valuable containers.
No set-in-stone rule states the exact size of a food container for any particular food. But there are things that you can consider before deciding to buy it:
- The type of food. Adjust the size of the food container with your existing food ingredients. Small food containers are suited to store your seasonings, such as pepper, salt, sugar, or powdered spices. Store the flour and rice inside a large container. Leftover foods can be stored in a medium or small food container, depending on their amount.
- The amount of food. The number of people in your household correlates directly to the amount of food you’d need to prepare. Families with many members need more ingredients, so using large food containers should be prioritized, and vice versa.
- Your kitchen and tools of choice. Pay attention to the size of your cupboard, refrigerator, microwave, and oven. Before buying a food container, it’s better to ensure the sizes of the food containers. It’d be a waste if you can’t use the food containers because they don’t fit your kitchen.
