Product Specifications

Designed for 7x9x1.5 Inch Aluminium Foil Containers

These lids are designed to fit compatible 7 x 9 x 1.5 inch rectangular aluminium foil containers.

For the matching base, see our Rectangular Aluminium Foil Container 7x9x1.5 Inch .

The matching tray measures approximately 178 x 229 x 38mm and is a shallow rectangular format suitable for takeaway meals, traybakes, catering portions and prepared foods.

Always use the lid intended for the correct container. Similar-looking foil trays may have different rim dimensions and should not automatically be assumed to accept the same lid.

Helps Keep Food Covered During Takeaway & Delivery

Adding the matching foil board lid creates a more practical covered package for food being prepared for collection, catering or delivery.

Once positioned correctly and secured by the foil-container rim, the lid helps keep the contents covered while trays are moved between kitchens, counters, delivery vehicles and catering venues.

This format can be used for foods such as:

• Curries and rice dishes
• Pasta and pasta bakes
• Lasagne
• Roast meat and poultry
• Vegetables and side dishes
• Traybakes
• Prepared takeaway meals
• Catering portions

For dishes containing substantial amounts of sauce or liquid, avoid overfilling and keep the container upright during transport. The lid should not be considered completely leak-proof.

Supports Heat Retention for Hot Food

A correctly fitted board lid helps cover the top of the foil container and can help reduce heat loss compared with leaving freshly prepared food completely uncovered.

This makes the lid useful for hot takeaway meals, catering dishes and food waiting for collection or service.

The board construction can also provide an additional barrier over the top of the container during transport. However, the lid does not replace insulated delivery bags, hot-holding equipment or correct food-temperature controls.

Suitable for Chilled Food & Prepared Meals

The lid can also be used to cover compatible foil containers holding suitable chilled foods during preparation, refrigerated storage and transport.

Correct refrigeration and food-safety procedures should always be followed. A lid helps keep the food covered but does not replace temperature-controlled storage.

Grease-Resistant Surface for Foodservice Use

The laminated surface helps resist oil and grease from prepared foods and can reduce soak-through during normal takeaway and catering use.

This makes the lids useful for dishes containing sauces, meat juices and oily foods. For heavily sauced or liquid-rich dishes, always keep the container upright and make sure the lid is fitted securely before transport.

Ideal for Restaurants, Takeaways & Caterers

Supplied in a bulk pack of 500, these lids are suitable for professional foodservice businesses that regularly use shallow rectangular foil trays.

Typical users include:

• Restaurants
• Takeaways
• Event caterers
• Street-food businesses
• Buffet caterers
• Meal-preparation kitchens
• Food trucks
• Commercial kitchens
• Food delivery businesses

Practical for Stacking, Storage & Organisation

Using the matching board lid creates a flatter covered surface than leaving a foil container open, helping prepared trays stay organised during busy foodservice operations.

For best results:

• Do not fill food above the container rim
• Position the lid evenly over the tray
• Secure the foil rim around the board lid where appropriate
• Keep sauce-rich foods upright during transport
• Check that the lid is correctly fitted before delivery
• Avoid placing excessive weight on filled containers

Heating Guidance

The compatible aluminium foil container may be suitable for appropriate oven cooking and reheating, but the foil board lid should normally be removed before heating unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically confirm suitability for the intended temperature and heating method.

Do not assume that the foil board lid is suitable for ovens, grills or microwaves.

Aluminium foil containers should not normally be used in microwave ovens unless both the appliance manufacturer and product instructions specifically permit their use.

Recycling & Disposal

Recycling options for laminated or coated board products can vary between waste collection services. Check with your local authority or commercial waste contractor to confirm whether the used lids are accepted in your recycling stream.

Food residue and grease contamination may also affect whether used packaging can be recycled.
