+title: Containers
+description: Containers are a fundamental building block of Bootstrap that contain, pad, and align your content within a given device or viewport.
+group: layout
+toc: true
+---
+
+## How they work
+
+Containers are the most basic layout element in Bootstrap and are **required when using our default grid system**. Containers are used to contain, pad, and (sometimes) center the content within them. While containers *can* be nested, most layouts do not require a nested container.
+
+Bootstrap comes with three different containers:
+
+- `.container`, which sets a `max-width` at each responsive breakpoint
+- `.container-{breakpoint}`, which is `width: 100%` until the specified breakpoint
+- `.container-fluid`, which is `width: 100%` at all breakpoints
+
+The table below illustrates how each container's `max-width` compares to the original `.container` and `.container-fluid` across each breakpoint.
+
+See them in action and compare them in our [Grid example]({{< docsref "/examples/grid#containers" >}}).

+
+## Default container
+
+Our default `.container` class is a responsive, fixed-width container, meaning its `max-width` changes at each breakpoint.
+
+```html
+<div class="container">
+ <!-- Content here -->
+</div>
+```
+
+## Responsive containers
+
+Responsive containers allow you to specify a class that is 100% wide until the specified breakpoint is reached, after which we apply `max-width`s for each of the higher breakpoints. For example, `.container-sm` is 100% wide to start until the `sm` breakpoint is reached, where it will scale up with `md`, `lg`, `xl`, and `xxl`.
+
+```html
+<div class="container-sm">100% wide until small breakpoint</div>
+<div class="container-md">100% wide until medium breakpoint</div>
+<div class="container-lg">100% wide until large breakpoint</div>
+<div class="container-xl">100% wide until extra large breakpoint</div>
+<div class="container-xxl">100% wide until extra extra large breakpoint</div>
+```
+
+## Fluid containers
+
+Use `.container-fluid` for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
+
+```html
+<div class="container-fluid">
+ ...
+</div>
+```
+
+## Sass
+
+As shown above, Bootstrap generates a series of predefined container classes to help you build the layouts you desire. You may customize these predefined container classes by modifying the Sass map (found in `_variables.scss`) that powers them:
+
+{{< scss-docs name="container-max-widths" file="scss/_variables.scss" >}}
+
+In addition to customizing the Sass, you can also create your own containers with our Sass mixin.
+
+```scss
+// Source mixin
+@mixin make-container($padding-x: $container-padding-x) {
+ width: 100%;
+ padding-right: $padding-x;
+ padding-left: $padding-x;
+ margin-right: auto;
+ margin-left: auto;
+}
+
+// Usage
+.custom-container {
+ @include make-container();
+}
+```
+
+For more information and examples on how to modify our Sass maps and variables, please refer to [the Sass section of the Grid documentation]({{< docsref "/layout/grid#sass" >}}).
