PP Rectangular Lids 173mm

1. Product Overview — PP Rectangular Lids 173mm

The Lumapack PP Rectangular Lids 173mm are polypropylene snap-on lids designed specifically for use with Kraft Rectangular Bowls across all sizes in the range — 500ml, 650ml, 750ml, and 1000ml. With a top length of 173mm and a top width of 121mm, these lids are sized to provide a secure, consistent fit across the entire Kraft Rectangular Bowl range, making them the standard lid choice for rectangular bowl formats in professional foodservice settings.

Each case contains 300 lids. The lids are manufactured in clear polypropylene (PP), offering good rigidity and visual clarity so food contents are visible without opening. Suitable for both hot and cold food applications, as well as freezer use, they are designed to support the full range of foodservice workflows including takeaway, delivery, cold food-to-go, and meal prep.

Compatible bowls are available separately across the Lumapack Kraft Rectangular Bowl range.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for PP Rectangular Lids 173mm

The PP Rectangular Lids 173mm are selected by foodservice operators who use Kraft Rectangular Bowls for takeaway and delivery packing. Because a single lid fits all four sizes in the rectangular bowl range, they are particularly practical for kitchens that operate across multiple portion formats without the need to stock multiple lid types.

Common applications include:

• Takeaway meal packing for quick-service restaurants and delivery kitchens using rectangular bowls for rice dishes, pasta, noodles, and mixed hot meals
• Cold food and salad service in deli counters, food-to-go operations, and corporate catering where rectangular bowl formats are used for portioned salads, grain bowls, and protein-led cold dishes
• Meal prep and batch cooking where sealed, lidded rectangular containers are used to portion and store prepared meals prior to service or delivery
• Freezer-safe food storage for operators preparing food in advance and storing sealed portions at low temperatures before dispatch
• Multi-portion delivery formats where consistent presentation across varying bowl sizes is required and a single lid SKU simplifies stock management

The clear PP material allows customers and kitchen staff to visually identify contents through the lid, which is particularly useful in cold display, food-to-go grab-and-go counters, and multi-component meal formats where contents vary between packs.

3. Operational Benefits of PP Rectangular Lids 173mm

• One lid fits all Kraft Rectangular Bowl sizes: The 173mm PP lid is compatible with the 500ml, 650ml, 750ml, and 1000ml Kraft Rectangular Bowls. Stocking a single lid SKU for the entire rectangular bowl range reduces purchasing complexity, simplifies storage, and removes the risk of mismatching lids to bowls during busy service periods.
• Suitable for hot food, cold food, and freezer use: The PP construction supports use across a wide temperature range, making these lids appropriate for hot meal packing, cold food display, and freezer storage within the same operation. This flexibility reduces the need for category-specific lid products at different stages of food preparation and service.
• Clear visibility without opening: The transparent PP material provides clear sight of the food contents through the lid. This supports grab-and-go display environments, portion checking in the kitchen, and customer-facing presentation in food-to-go and deli counters without removing the lid.
• Secure snap-on fit for transit: The lid is designed to fit the rectangular bowl securely to support typical takeaway packing and delivery workflows, helping reduce the risk of displacement or spill during transit when packaged into bags or delivery boxes.
• Consistent presentation across portion sizes: Using a standardised lid across multiple bowl capacities supports a uniform look across a delivery menu or catering operation, regardless of the meal size being served.
