1. Product Overview — PET Lids 150mm

The 150mm PET lid is the standard compatible lid for Lumapack's smaller round bowl range. The clear PET material allows the contents of the bowl to remain fully visible after sealing, which supports presentation quality in grab-and-go, deli counter, and delivery contexts where customers make purchasing decisions based on visual appeal.

The snap-on design creates a secure fit with the 150mm rim profile of compatible Lumapack round bowls, helping to keep contents in place during packing, transit, and handling at the point of service. These lids are suitable for cold food applications and are designed for use in standard foodservice environments.

Compatible bowls: Kraft Round Bowls 500ml, Kraft Round Bowls 750ml, Kraft Round Bowls 1000ml, White Round Bowls 500ml, White Round Bowls 750ml, White Round Bowls 1000ml.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for PET Lids 150mm

PET lids at 150mm are used wherever a clear, fitted cover is required for smaller to mid-size food bowls in cold food applications. Common uses include:

• Salad and grain bowls in food-to-go and deli operations, where a clear lid allows customers to view the contents without removing the seal
• Cold noodle and rice dishes served in cafés, canteen operations, and delivery-led menus that operate chilled or ambient food lines
• Prepared fruit, yoghurt, and cold dessert portions in grab-and-go retail and café environments where product visibility is a key part of the display
• Pre-portioned side dishes and accompaniments in catering and event settings, where bowls are prepared in advance and need to be covered securely before service
• Meal-prep and batch-cooked cold meals in corporate catering and dark kitchen operations, where filled bowls are sealed and chilled ahead of collection or delivery

The transparent lid format makes these particularly well suited to high-display environments, deli counters, and cold cabinet presentations where product appearance drives purchase decisions.

3. Operational Benefits of PET Lids 150mm for Takeaway and Delivery

• Clear visibility of contents after sealing: The transparent PET material allows the food inside to remain visible through the lid. This is relevant for deli counters, grab-and-go displays, and delivery operations where product identification and presentation are important without requiring the lid to be removed.
• Secure snap-on fit for transit: The lid profile is designed to fit the 150mm bowl rim, providing a stable seal during packing and transport. This reduces movement of contents during delivery handling and typical takeaway workflows.
• Consistent sizing across bowl range: A single lid size fits across the 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml round bowl formats in this group, which simplifies stock management for operations running multiple bowl sizes within the same menu range.
• Supports cold food presentation standards: For operations serving chilled dishes, salads, or prepared cold meals, a clean-fitting clear lid maintains the visual presentation of the bowl contents from kitchen to customer.
• Available in cases of 300: The standard case quantity of 300 supports regular replenishment cycles for commercial kitchens and food businesses operating at volume.

5. PET vs PP Lids — Choosing the Right Lid for Your Operation

Lumapack supplies both PET and PP (polypropylene) lids at 150mm. Both fit the same 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml bowl range, and both provide food contact safe, secure coverage. The choice between them depends on the specific requirements of your operation.

PET Lids 150mm are manufactured from a material that offers high optical clarity. The finished lid is clear and transparent, providing maximum visibility of the bowl contents. PET lids are suitable for cold food applications. They are commonly selected for deli, salad, and grab-and-go operations where product appearance is part of the customer experience, and where chilled or ambient cold dishes are the primary use case.

PP Lids 150mm are manufactured from polypropylene, which offers a broader temperature tolerance and is suitable for both hot and cold food applications. PP lids are commonly selected where bowls may be used for hot dishes, including warm rice, pasta, or sauced meals served at temperature, alongside cold food uses.

In summary: for cold food only, either material is suitable. For operations that need one lid across hot and cold bowl formats, PP lids offer broader flexibility. For operations prioritising maximum display clarity for cold food, PET is the standard choice.

6. Lid Compatibility — Which Lumapack Bowls Fit PET Lids 150mm?

PET Lids 150mm are compatible with Lumapack Round Bowls that have a 150mm rim diameter. This covers the following sizes in both Kraft and White finishes:

• Kraft Round Bowls 500ml
• Kraft Round Bowls 750ml
• Kraft Round Bowls 1000ml
• White Round Bowls 500ml
• White Round Bowls 750ml
• White Round Bowls 1000ml

The 900ml, 1100ml, and 1300ml round bowls in the Lumapack range use a larger rim diameter and require 183mm lids (PP Lids 183mm or PET Lids 183mm). Always confirm the bowl size group before ordering lids to ensure correct fit.

For operations using compartment inserts — 2 Compartment Inserts 150mm or 3 Compartment Inserts 150mm — these inserts are compatible with the same 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml bowl group. Lids can be fitted over bowls with inserts in place.

8. Frequently Asked Questions — PET Lids 150mm

Which bowls are compatible with PET Lids 150mm?
These lids fit Lumapack Round Bowls (Kraft and White) in the 500ml, 750ml, and 1000ml sizes. They are not compatible with the 900ml, 1100ml, or 1300ml bowls, which require 183mm lids.

Are PET Lids 150mm suitable for hot food?
No. PET lids are suitable for cold food applications only. For hot food use, PP Lids 150mm are the appropriate option as they offer a broader temperature tolerance suitable for both hot and cold food.

Can PET lids be used with compartment inserts?
Yes. The 2 Compartment Inserts 150mm and 3 Compartment Inserts 150mm are designed for use with the same bowl group. Lids can be fitted over the bowl once inserts are in place.

How many lids are included per case?
Each case contains 300 lids.

What is the difference between PET and PP lids?
PET offers high optical clarity and is suitable for cold food use. PP is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is more commonly selected where bowls are used for warm dishes. Both materials are food contact safe and fit the same 150mm bowl range.

Are these lids compostable or recyclable?
PET is a plastic material. These lids are not compostable. PET is a widely recycled plastic in the UK, but local recycling availability varies. Operators with specific end-of-life requirements should confirm local recycling infrastructure before selecting this product.
