Are Square or Round Containers Better?
If you’re thinking of investing in a new set of containers, there is an obvious question that arises– round or square containers? Whether it’s for individuals or a large facility, it’s a big struggle to determine whether round or square containers are better. Let’s break down some of the benefits to both kinds of containers to decide which kind is best.
Square food storage containers
Square and rectangular food storage containers are easily stacked and they help you optimize your storage space. With the square corners, there is no wasted space between containers. The increase in storage between square and round is roughly 25%. Who couldn’t use an extra 25% of storage space in their freezer, cooler or walk-in? Before you jump to an answer, I should warn you that we have a pretty compelling case for the rounds too.

Round food storage containers
Round Food Storage Containers are ideal for storing liquids like soups, broth or sauces. These containers are ideal for stirring so, they are perfect for stew, salsas or other foods that require stirring. Round containers also allow equal air flow leading to faster and more even thawing of frozen products. Even though they take up less space, round food storage containers ensure less food waste than in square containers. Round storage containers are also considered more durable because they don’t have edges or corners where material can weaken and brake over time.
