Kraft Paper Vented Lids 98mm

1. Product Overview — Kraft Paper Vented Lids 98mm

The Lumapack Kraft Paper Vented Lids 98mm are paper-based lids designed for use with soup containers in professional foodservice environments. With a 98mm top diameter, these lids are a precise fit for Lumapack's 16oz soup containers — the only size in the soup container range that uses this lid diameter.

The vented design allows steam to escape during service, reducing condensation build-up inside the container and helping maintain food quality and presentation during takeaway and delivery. Produced in a natural kraft finish, these lids complement kraft-format packaging and support a consistent visual identity across the container and lid.

Each case contains 500 lids. The lids are suitable for both hot and cold food applications under standard foodservice conditions, and are food contact safe. Compatible containers are available separately.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for Kraft Paper Vented Lids 98mm

These lids are selected by foodservice operators who require a paper-format lid with venting for soup containers used in takeaway and delivery operations. The 98mm diameter is specific to the 16oz soup container size, making this a focused lid solution for that format.

Common applications include:

• Hot soup and broth service in takeaway and delivery operations, where steam management during transit is important for maintaining food temperature and presentation
• Stew and liquid-based meal packing for cloud kitchens and delivery-led foodservice businesses that use the 16oz soup container as their standard format
• Catering operations supplying hot food for off-site consumption, where vented lids help manage steam during holding and transport
• Kraft-branded packaging setups where operators want a consistent paper aesthetic across container and lid, rather than mixing paper and plastic formats
• Environmentally conscious foodservice operations that prefer paper-format lids to complement their overall packaging approach

This lid is particularly suited to operators who have standardised on the 16oz soup container format and require a paper lid option that matches their kraft packaging. It provides a consistent presentation across the container and lid while offering the functional venting performance required for hot liquid dishes.

3. Operational Benefits of Kraft Paper Vented Lids 98mm

• Vented design manages steam during service: The vent allows steam to escape from hot contents, reducing condensation that can soften the lid and affect presentation. This supports consistent food quality during the period between packing and consumption, which is particularly relevant in delivery and takeaway operations where lead times vary.
• Paper format supports a kraft packaging aesthetic: These lids are produced in kraft paper, matching the appearance of kraft soup containers and providing a unified look across the container format. Operators building a natural or paper-forward packaging identity can use this lid to maintain consistency without introducing a plastic lid into the presentation.
• Precise fit for 16oz soup containers: The 98mm diameter is designed specifically for the 16oz container size. Using a correctly sized lid reduces the risk of misfit or lid displacement during packing and handling, which is particularly relevant for liquid-based dishes where container integrity during delivery matters.
• Suitable for hot and cold food applications: The lid performs under standard foodservice conditions for both hot and cold food service, allowing operators to use the same lid format across different menu items in the 16oz container size without switching lid types.
• Case quantity supports operational volume: Each case contains 500 lids, providing an adequate supply for regular service periods without requiring frequent reordering. This supports operational planning for kitchens running the 16oz soup container as part of a regular delivery or takeaway menu.
