ERS SUSHI TAKEOUT CONTAINER STANDARD

Sushi Takeout Container Size Chart: Dimensions & Piece Counts

Compare commercial sushi takeout containers by dimensions, shape and piece count—from single-roll trays to rectangular sushi boxes, square trays and round party platters. Use the manufacturer model comparison chart to identify comparable formats and corresponding ERS products.

Developed by Eden Restaurant Supply from 24 years of cross-manufacturer sourcing and purchasing evidence covering 3.25B+ units, the ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard provides a common reference for identifying and comparing sushi tray formats across brands.

Quick reference

The ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard

Commercial sushi containers repeatedly converge around a small number of physical formats even though manufacturers use different names and model numbers.

ERS standardizes those recurring formats using three primary signals: geometry, base footprint and tested food fit. Manufacturer identifiers remain attached to individual products; the ERS designation provides the common comparison language across product lines.

Research categories vs. ERS size classes: The purchasing research uses broader normalized category families for longitudinal comparison. The ERS Standard on this page resolves those families into more granular physical size classes. Research categories and ERS size classes therefore are not necessarily one-to-one.

Narrow

ERS-N1 Compact Narrow4-piece~6.5 × 3.5 in

ERS-N2 Single Roll / Long1 roll / 6-piece~8.7 × 3.5–3.7 in

Rectangular

ERS-R1 Small Rectangular6-piece~6.5 × 4.5–4.8 in

ERS-R2 Medium Rectangular8-piece~7.25 × 5.0–5.2 in

ERS-R3 Standard Rectangular10-piece~8.5 × 5.3–5.6 in

ERS-R4 Large Rectangular12-piece~9.2–9.5 × 5.7–6.1 in

ERS-R5 Extra-Large Rectangular20-piece~10.2–10.6 × 7.2–8.0 in

Reference silhouettes use one physical drawing scale across the Narrow and Rectangular families. Outlines show representative footprints within the stated reference ranges.

ERS codes identify comparison formats, not individual products. Exact dimensions, materials, depths, lids and component compatibility can vary among products assigned to the same ERS format.

Cross-manufacturer reference

Built from 24 Years of Cross-Manufacturer Sourcing and Purchasing Evidence Covering 3.25B+ Units

Since 2002, Eden Restaurant Supply has purchased, compared, specified and supplied sushi takeout containers from manufacturers across the category. Manufacturer model numbers vary widely, even where the underlying commercial format is nearly identical. The ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard was developed from those cross-manufacturer records, physical specifications, product comparisons and restaurant purchasing experience as a way to standardize sushi-container categorization across the industry.

24 years: Cross-manufacturer sourcing and specification
3.25B+ units: Historical purchasing base
Multiple model systems: Normalized into one comparison framework

Manufacturers and suppliers document their own product systems. ERS has spent 24 years working directly across those systems. That cross-manufacturer position allows ERS to compare formats, model conventions, materials and product generations side by side and define one common commercial language across them.

ERS has worked directly with South Plastic Industry / SPI, Wismettac / SAMMA, ManLuen Pack, Sunyo Plastics, Mano Pak, Maple Trade / Imperial, Easy Green, and additional companies and systems represented in ERS’s historical sourcing records.

Direct ERS manufacturer/supplier relationships + ERS sourcing records + manufacturer specifications + ERS product comparisons + restaurant purchasing history + ERS fit testing form the standard’s evidence base.

That cross-manufacturer view exposes the underlying problem: sushi-container model numbers describe individual product systems, not a universal industry sizing language.

Model number fragmentation

Why Sushi Tray Model Numbers Don't Match

Sushi-container model numbers are manufacturer identifiers, not universal size standards.

Across the category, physically similar trays appear under different numbering conventions. A 1.5, 07, 1107, and differently branded model can occupy essentially the same recurring commercial footprint. At the same time, a familiar-looking number can represent a different geometry in another product line.

The physical formats are surprisingly consistent. The names are not.

Decimal / SPI-type 1.5SAMMA-type 1107Recurring numbered designation 07-classERS listing YP-1.5 / ED-07

ERS-R3Standard Rectangular~8.5 × 5.4 in reference silhouette

Multiple source-specific designations → one comparison format. Model identity and exact dimensions remain product-specific.

HP-01 / 0.4-class

Compact format · ~6.5 × 3.5 in

JT01

Long / single-roll format · ~8.7 × 3.6 in

Same number ≠ same format. 01 does not universally identify one physical sushi-tray size.

If model number alone cannot establish size, comparison has to begin with the physical container. ERS therefore classifies a tray from its geometry and base footprint first, then uses food fit and product-specific specifications to complete the comparison.

Measurement

How ERS Measures a Sushi Container

ERS assigns format primarily from the base geometry and outer base footprint. Manufacturer marketing names and lid dimensions do not determine the format.

Measurement locations on the base and assembled container. This anatomy drawing defines measurement points, not dimensions for a particular SKU.

A — Base length: Longest exterior dimension of the tray base.
B — Base width: Exterior dimension perpendicular to base length.
C — Base depth: Vertical depth of the food-holding base.
D — Lid footprint: Exterior length and width of the matching lid.
E — Assembled height: Overall closed height of base + lid.
F — Usable food area: Interior placement area where independently measured by ERS.
G — Usable lid clearance: Available vertical headroom for food presentation.

Geometry → Base Footprint → Tested Fit → ERS Format → Product / Model

Measurement roles in the ERS standard
Measurement	Role	Why it matters
Base outer footprint	Primary	Defines physical format
Base depth	Secondary	Food/garnish clearance
Lid outer footprint	Component reference	Matching lid geometry
Assembled height	Secondary	Finished packout clearance
Usable food area	Fit testing	Real arrangement space
Published nominal size	Reference only	Can be rounded or based on another component

Once containers are compared on the same physical basis, the recurring size families become much clearer. ERS assigns those clusters a stable designation instead of asking buyers to translate every manufacturer's numbering system independently.

Size standards

Sushi Tray Size Standards

ERS classes are based on recurring cross-manufacturer physical formats rather than arbitrary inch ranges. Each reference footprint describes the recurring commercial format; individual models can vary slightly while remaining in the same comparison class.

Narrow and Rectangular reference footprints, fit and legacy designations
ERS code	Format	Reference footprint	Standard fit	Recurring legacy designation
ERS-N1	Compact Narrow	~6.5 × 3.5 in	4-piece	0.4-class
ERS-N2	Single Roll / Long	~8.7 × 3.5–3.7 in	1 roll / 6-piece	0.6 / 27-class
ERS-R1	Small Rectangular	~6.5 × 4.5–4.8 in	6-piece	0.8 / 03-class
ERS-R2	Medium Rectangular	~7.25 × 5.0–5.2 in	8-piece	1.0 / 05-class
ERS-R3	Standard Rectangular	~8.5 × 5.3–5.6 in	10-piece	1.5 / 07-class
ERS-R4	Large Rectangular	~9.2–9.5 × 5.7–6.1 in	12-piece	2.0 / 09-class
ERS-R5	Extra-Large Rectangular	~10.2–10.6 × 7.2–8.0 in	20-piece	2.5 / 11-class

Dashed outlines: Narrow. Solid outlines: Rectangular. All seven core formats share one physical drawing scale; reference footprints and standard fit are listed in the table above.

The table provides the common language. The profiles below show what each designation means in practice: its geometry, reference dimensions, tested fit, neighboring size, legacy model families and current ERS product mappings.

Model-system translation

Sushi Tray Model Number Crosswalk

Model number identifies the manufacturer's product. ERS format identifies the comparison class.

The crosswalk below translates recurring manufacturer model systems into the ERS standard. A mapping means the products occupy the same commercial comparison class; it does not establish lid interchangeability or exact dimensional identity.

Source-specific model systems and ERS comparison classes
ERS	SPI	SAMMA	Mano Pak	ManLuen Pack	Sunyo	Imperial / JT	Verified ERS examples
ERS-N1	0.4	1101	HP-01 / 0.4	WL-0.6	—	—	YP-0.4 / ED-0.4
ERS-N2	0.6 / 27	1102	HP-02 / 0.6	WL-01	—	JT01	YP-0.6 / ED-01
ERS-R1	0.8	1103	HP-03 / 0.8	WL-03	SY-03	JT03	ED-03 / YP-0.8 PH-03
ERS-R2	1.0	1105	HP-05 / 1.0	WL-05	SY-05	JT05	YP-1.0 / ED-05 ED-8510 PH-05
ERS-R3	1.5	1107	HP-07 / 1.5	WL-07	SY-07	JT07	YP-1.5 / ED-07 ED-8525 PH-07
ERS-R4	2.0	1109	HP-09 / 2.0	WL-09	SY-09	JT09	YP-2.0 / ED-09 PH-09
ERS-R5	2.5	1111	HP-11 / 2.5	WL-11	SY-11	JT11	ED-11 ED-8530 PH-11

HP-01 / 0.4-class maps to ERS-N1; JT01 maps to ERS-N2. 01 does not universally identify one physical sushi-tray size.

That translation makes model identification much easier, but it does not make every tray within a class interchangeable. Replacement selection requires one final distinction: comparable format versus compatible component.

Evidence base

Reference Systems Reviewed

The ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard is built from direct work across major commercial sushi-packaging companies and product systems—not from a single catalog.

Across 24 years, ERS has worked directly with companies and systems including South Plastic Industry (SPI), Wismettac / SAMMA, ManLuen Pack, Sunyo Plastics, Mano Pak, Maple Trade / Imperial, Easy Green, and others across the category. Comparing those systems across manufacturers, suppliers, materials, generations and model conventions reveals the recurring physical formats normalized by the ERS standard.

ERS commercial families	YP/ED Kamon, ED-85xx, PH kraft, Z-series, HP party, Hanaoke	Current product mapping, cross-material comparison, commercial use and restaurant purchasing evidence

These are not arbitrary ERS size buckets. Independent commercial product systems repeatedly converge on the same physical formats. The ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard names and normalizes those recurring formats so they can be compared across brands and model-number systems.

Format profiles

Defined Formats, Tested Fit & Product Mappings

A format is not a product. It is the physical class into which comparable products can be mapped.

Published product dimensions below retain each listing’s measurement basis; they are not substituted for ERS reference footprints. These are current ERS catalog/reference examples.

The ERS fit standard assumes a single-layer restaurant presentation with normal spacing and a lid that closes without food contacting it. Oversized specialty rolls, unusually large toppings, garnish-heavy presentations or sauce cups can require the next format.

ERS Tested Fit Protocol

Reference food unit

N1 and R1–R5: A conventional nigiri-sized sushi piece used for standardized ERS restaurant packout testing.
N2: One standard sushi roll cut into a 6-piece restaurant presentation.

Packout rules

Single layer
No stacking
Normal restaurant presentation spacing
Normal edge clearance
Lid closes fully
Food does not contact the lid
Normal garnish allowance
Sauce cups excluded unless specifically included in a defined test
Stated capacity is standard presentation capacity, not the theoretical maximum physical fill

ERS fit classifications describe a standardized restaurant presentation—not maximum physical fill.

Fit establishes what the physical format does. Comparable replacement still requires product-specific dimensions and separate lid/component verification.

Comparable replacement

How to Find a Comparable Sushi Tray

Find the current model number
Identify its ERS format
Compare products within that format
Verify lid/component compatibility separately

Example: 1.5 → ERS-R3 → compare dimensions / depth / material / presentation → verify matching lid

Same ERS formatComparable

Same lid / componentNot assumed

Comparable in size does not mean interchangeable. Products within the same ERS format can differ in exact dimensions, depth, locking geometry, material and lid compatibility.

Independent family · Square

Square Sushi Trays

Square formats are classified independently because their usable geometry and presentation pattern differ materially from rectangular trays of similar area. They therefore progress within the Square family rather than extending the R1–R5 rectangular ladder.

Black Square Sushi To-Go Tray with Lid (50 pc) - ED-40B, 7-1/4" — **ERS-SQ1**~7.25 in square

Kamon Square Sushi To-Go Container with Lid (50 pc) - ED-4.0, 10-1/2" — **ERS-SQ2**~10.5 in square

Kamon Square Sushi To-Go Container with Clear Lid (50 pc) - YP-4.0 — **ERS-SQ2**~10.5 in square

Independent family · Round Party

Round Sushi Party Platter Sizes

Round party platters are most clearly standardized by their physical diameter. ERS therefore retains diameter directly in the designation rather than replacing it with subjective small, medium or large labels.

Kamon Round Sushi Party Tray with Lid (20 pc) - ED-63, 13" — **ERS-P13**13 in diameter

Round Sushi Party Tray with Clear Anti-Fog Lid (50 pc) - HP-63, 13" Gold Brush — **ERS-P13**13 in diameter

What This Standard Does Not Classify

Bento boxes, rice and entrée bowls, noodle containers and other meal packaging are separate container architectures. They remain part of ERS's broader takeout assortment but are not part of the sushi-tray size ladder defined on this page.

Methods / source basis

How the ERS Sushi Takeout Container Standard Is Maintained

Classification basis: ERS classifies recurring formats from cross-manufacturer dimensional convergence, geometry, outer base footprint and commercial use.
Cross-manufacturer evidence: Multiple independent commercial product systems support the recurring physical formats used as ERS comparison classes.
Fit evidence: ERS fit classes use the standardized ERS restaurant packout protocol.
First-party commercial evidence: ERS purchasing records, direct manufacturer/supplier relationships, product comparisons and restaurant purchasing history validate how the classes function commercially.
Model mapping: A source-specific model is mapped into an ERS class when its geometry and physical dimensions support that relationship.
Compatibility: ERS format similarity does not establish component interchangeability. Lid/base and accessory compatibility remain product-specific.

Reference questions

Sushi Container Size & Shape Questions

What is the standard size of a sushi takeout container?

The ERS standard defines separate Narrow, Rectangular, Square and Round Party families. ERS-R3 Standard Rectangular is the 10-piece format, with a reference footprint of approximately 8.5 × 5.3–5.6 inches; one size does not describe every sushi container.

What size sushi tray fits 8 pieces?

ERS-R2 Medium Rectangular fits 8 standard sushi pieces. Its reference footprint is approximately 7.25 × 5.0–5.2 inches.

What size sushi tray fits 10 pieces?

ERS-R3 Standard Rectangular is the ERS 10-piece format, with a reference footprint of approximately 8.5 × 5.3–5.6 inches.

What size sushi tray fits 12 pieces?

ERS-R4 Large Rectangular fits 12 standard sushi pieces. Its reference footprint is approximately 9.2–9.5 × 5.7–6.1 inches.

What do 0.8, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mean on sushi trays?

These are decimal-system model designations that map to ERS-R1, ERS-R2, ERS-R3 and ERS-R4 in the documented crosswalk. They are not universal dimensions.

Is a #7 sushi tray the same as a 1.5 sushi tray?

07 and 1.5 can map into the same ERS-R3 comparison class in model systems where that relationship is established. Numbering remains manufacturer-specific; a matching number does not establish the same product or lid compatibility.

How do I measure a sushi tray?

Measure the outer base length and perpendicular width, then record base depth. Keep lid footprint, assembled height and usable food area separate. See the measurement anatomy.

Can two trays in the same ERS format use the same lid?

Not on the basis of format alone. Lid and component compatibility are product-specific unless explicitly verified. Compare matching component specifications separately.

What size comes after a 1.5 sushi tray?

Where 1.5 maps to ERS-R3, the next rectangular class is ERS-R4 Large Rectangular, associated with 2.0 in the decimal / SPI-type system.

What size tray fits one sushi roll?

ERS-N2 Single Roll / Long fits one standard sushi roll / a 6-piece roll presentation, with a reference footprint of approximately 8.7 × 3.5–3.7 inches.

What is the difference between a rectangular sushi tray and a bento box?

A rectangular sushi tray is classified by its base footprint and sushi fit. A Bento box uses a compartmented meal architecture and is outside the sushi-tray size ladder.
