Which Lid Fits? Foil Containers, Deli Bowls, Coffee Cups and Smoothie Cups
The most common packaging mistake is an order of containers with lids that do not fit. Lids on most of our ranges are sold separately, so you choose them yourself. This guide shows which lid goes with which container, so one order is enough.
Foil containers: the lid is named after the container
Each lid is named after the container it fits. They are rectangular or round board lids with a foil-lined underside and a plain white top you can write on.
- No1 lids: approx. 12 x 9.5 cm, case of 1,000.
- No2 lids: approx. 14 x 11.5 cm, case of 1,000.
- 6A lids: approx. 20 x 11 cm, case of 500.
- No6 lids: approx. 21.3 x 11 cm, case of 500.
- No12 round lids: approx. 17.8 cm (7 inch) across, case of 400.
- 9x9 square lids: 9 x 9 inch, case of 200. They fit both the shallow and the deep 9x9 container.
The lids come in the same case size as the matching container, so one case of lids covers one case of containers. See the foil container guide and all foil containers and lids.
Deli bowls: two lids for three sizes
Round paper deli bowls come in 750ml, 1000ml and 1300ml, 300 to a case, and the lids are sold separately in cases of 300.
- Clear dome lid for the 750ml and 1000ml kraft bowls: one lid for both sizes.
- Clear flat lid for the 1300ml bowls, kraft or black.
More on sizes in our deli bowl guide.
Coffee cups: match the lid to the cup size
Paper cup lids are white, snap-on sip lids with a drinking slot and steam vent, in cases of 1,000. They are named after the cup size:
- 4oz lid (62 mm) for the 4oz white espresso cups.
- 8oz lid (80 mm) for the 8oz black ripple cups.
- 12oz lid (90 mm) for the 12oz white and 12oz black ripple cups.
For a full drinks order see the hot drinks checklist.
Smoothie and milkshake cups
The clear 12oz and 16oz PET cups share a 98 mm rim, so one clear dome lid fits both. It has a cross-cut straw hole, leaves room under the dome for cream and toppings, and comes in a case of 1,000. These cups are for cold drinks only. See the smoothie cup guide.
Lids that come with the container
Some containers need no separate lid. The microwave containers have a push-on lid in every case, and the hinged salad containers have the lid attached.
A quick check before you order
- Write the container name or size on your list.
- Add the lid with the same name or size next to it.
- Match the case sizes: for foil and deli bowls, one case of lids to one case of containers.
