Features and types
The Contital products available in L'Arcolaio's catalogue are single-use containers made of food-grade aluminium, designed to withstand oven temperatures and maintain their shape during baking and transport.
Aluminium muffin liners
I Contital muffin liners C1G are available in packs of 100 pieces. The C1G format is suitable for standard muffins and cupcakes: fluted edges that make it easy to extract the cake and secure it in the liner during baking. Useful both for preparing cakes to serve directly in the container and for individual portions to give as gifts — perfect, for example, as a tempting insert in party favours for christenings or communions paired with dragées.
Loaf cake containers
The Contital aluminium loaf cake container measures 238 × 101 mm with a height of 50 mm: standard dimensions for a whole loaf cake to be sliced. Here too the pack is 100 pieces, designed for those who prepare cakes in large quantities — home bakeries, event preparations, birthday parties or family celebrations. The aluminium allows you to bake directly and then serve or package without turning out.
How to choose the right Contital container
What will you use it for?
If you prepare muffins or cupcakes — even for christening, communion or birthday parties — the C1G liners are the most practical choice: individual portions, already ready to serve or wrap. If instead you prepare a whole loaf cake to slice or give as a gift in its mould, the 238 × 101 mm rectangular container is the most popular and versatile size.
How many portions do you need?
Both Contital products on L'Arcolaio are sold in packs of 100 pieces. It's the ideal format if you're organising an event, preparing cakes for a ceremony or want to always have stock at home. For occasional use of 1-2 pieces, consider whether the 100-piece format is still convenient over time.
Aluminium in the oven: what you need to know
Contital food-grade aluminium is compatible with conventional and fan ovens. It is not suitable for microwaves. After baking, the container can be used directly as a serving or delivery tray — there is no need to turn out the cake.
Combinations for ceremonies and gift cakes
Contital containers pair well with packaging products and dragées for ceremonies. If you're preparing cakes for a wedding or christening, you can complete your order with Maxtris dragées: quality dragées in many flavours and colours, perfect for completing the tray or party favour. You'll find everything conveniently on L'Arcolaio.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Contital containers
Do Contital containers go in the oven?
Yes. Contital aluminium containers and liners are suitable for conventional and fan ovens. Do not use them in the microwave, as aluminium is not compatible with this type of cooking.
How many pieces are in a Contital pack?
The packs available on L'Arcolaio are 100 pieces: both for C1G muffin liners and for 238 × 101 mm loaf cake containers. It's a practical format for those who prepare cakes in large quantities or for events and ceremonies.
Can I use Contital muffin liners without a rigid mould?
The C1G aluminium liners have a sufficiently rigid structure to maintain their shape on their own in the oven, without the need for an external rigid mould. For a more uniform result with very soft batters, it is still recommended to place them on a flat baking tray.
What is the size of the Contital loaf cake container?
The loaf cake container measures 238 × 101 mm with a height of 50 mm. It's the standard size for a loaf cake made from 500-600 g of batter. Compatible with most classic recipes.
Where can I find other products for ceremonies and cakes on L'Arcolaio?
On L'Arcolaio you'll also find Maxtris dragées in various flavours and colours, ideal for christenings, communions and weddings. You can pair them with Contital containers to set up trays or prepare homemade sweet party favours.
