Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm

1. Product Overview — Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm

The Lumapack Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm are paper-based lids designed for use with soup containers in professional foodservice operations. With a 118mm diameter, these lids are compatible with Lumapack's 26oz and 32oz soup containers, making them a practical choice for takeaway and delivery operations where hot soups, broths, and stewed dishes are served.

The vented design allows controlled steam release during use, helping to manage condensation when hot liquid dishes are packed for takeaway or delivery. The kraft paper construction gives a natural, craft-finish appearance consistent with a range of foodservice branding styles.

Suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer storage, these lids offer versatility across different food service conditions. Each case contains 500 lids (SKU: LP50423).

2. Compatible Soup Containers for Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm

The 118mm diameter fits the larger soup container sizes in the Lumapack range. Confirmed compatible containers include:

• Kraft Soup Containers 26oz — for large portions of hot soup, broths, and liquid-heavy dishes
• Kraft Soup Containers 32oz — for the largest takeaway soup portions and catering formats
• White Soup Containers 26oz — same capacity in a plain white finish, for operators preferring a neutral presentation
• White Soup Containers 32oz — largest white finish container, suited to high-volume catering packs

For operators using the smaller Lumapack soup containers (8oz, 12oz, and 16oz), different lid sizes apply. The 90mm vented lid fits 8oz and 12oz containers, while the 98mm vented lid fits 16oz containers. Always confirm the container size before ordering to ensure a compatible fit.

3. Typical Foodservice Uses for Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm

These lids are selected by foodservice operators who require a functional, paper-finish closure for large-format soup containers used in takeaway and delivery service. Common applications include:

• Hot soup takeaway service at quick-service restaurants, cafés, and food-to-go counters, where a secure, steam-vented lid is needed for larger portions served in 26oz and 32oz containers
• Broth and stew delivery by delivery-led kitchens and cloud kitchens, where maintaining temperature and managing condensation during transit is important for presentation and food quality
• Catering and event service where bulk quantities of hot liquid dishes are packed into large containers for off-site consumption
• Meal prep and food subscription operations offering portion-controlled soup formats for regular delivery customers
• Cold dish service, including chilled soup formats and cold noodle or grain broths, which benefit from a vented lid that allows controlled air exchange during storage

The kraft paper finish is particularly suited to foodservice brands with a natural, artisan, or environmentally considered aesthetic, providing a visual consistency with kraft-finish containers and other paper-based packaging elements used across a menu or delivery range.

4. Operational Benefits of Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm for Takeaway and Delivery

• Controlled steam release during hot service: The vented construction allows steam to escape from hot liquid dishes during packing and transit. This helps manage condensation build-up inside the container, which can affect presentation and lid integrity when hot soups or broths are packed for delivery or takeaway.
• Consistent fit across 26oz and 32oz formats: Using a single lid size across the two largest soup container sizes simplifies purchasing and stock management. Operators running both 26oz and 32oz containers as part of their menu do not need to maintain separate lid SKUs for each container size at this capacity range.
• Paper finish supports brand presentation: The kraft paper surface provides a natural appearance that complements kraft-finish containers. For delivery operations where packaging forms part of the brand experience, a consistent paper aesthetic across containers and lids can contribute to a more considered unboxing presentation.
• Suitable for hot, cold, and frozen food conditions: The lid is confirmed suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer-safe applications, supporting operators who use the same container format across different menu items or storage conditions.
• Microwavable: The kraft paper vented lid is confirmed microwavable, which is relevant for ready-meal and prepared soup formats where customers may reheat food directly in the container.

• BPA-free

6. What Sets These Kraft Paper Vented Lids 118mm Apart

Kraft paper vented lids at 118mm are a specialist size within the soup container lid category. This size is specifically suited to larger-format soup containers and is less commonly stocked by general foodservice packaging suppliers compared with smaller lid sizes. Key points of difference for the Lumapack range:

• Three lid material options at 118mm: Lumapack offers the 118mm vented lid in kraft paper, white paper, and polypropylene (PP). This allows operators to select the material finish and performance specification that best matches their container format and presentation requirements, without switching supplier for different lid types at this size.
• Directly matched to the Lumapack soup container range: The 118mm lid is confirmed compatible with the Lumapack 26oz and 32oz soup containers in both kraft and white finishes. This removes compatibility uncertainty when specifying lids alongside containers within the same range.
• Paper construction with kraft finish: Unlike plastic lids, the kraft paper lid provides a paper-on-paper aesthetic when paired with kraft soup containers. For foodservice operators focused on reducing visible plastic in their packaging, paper vented lids offer a consistent material approach across the container format.
