No.1 Foil Board Lids for Takeaway, Catering & Food Storage
Keep smaller takeaway portions and prepared foods covered with these No.1 Foil Board Lids. Designed specifically for compatible No.1 aluminium foil containers, they provide a practical covering solution for restaurants, takeaways, cafés, caterers, bakeries and commercial kitchens.
When fitted correctly to the matching No.1 foil tray, the lid helps protect the contents during preparation, storage, collection and transport. Covering the container can also help support temperature retention compared with leaving hot or chilled food completely uncovered.
Each case contains 1,000 foil board lids, making this a convenient bulk option for foodservice businesses using No.1 foil trays regularly.

Designed for No.1 Aluminium Foil Containers
These lids are designed to fit the compatible No.1 aluminium foil container measuring approximately 95 x 120 x 35mm.
For the matching base, see our No.1 Aluminium Foil Containers 95 x 120 x 35mm – Pack of 1000 .
Using the correct matching lid is important because different foil-container sizes can have different rim dimensions. A lid designed for another tray should not be assumed to fit the No.1 container correctly.
Ideal for Smaller Portions, Sides & Takeaway Foods
The compact No.1 foil container is particularly useful for smaller portions where a larger takeaway tray would be unnecessary.
When combined with the matching foil board lid, it can be used for foods such as:
- Rice and vegetable side portions
- Small curry portions
- Chips and hot sides
- Sauces and accompaniments
- Desserts and puddings
- Small baked dishes
- Food samples
- Individual catering portions
- Meal-preparation portions
Helps Keep Food Covered During Takeaway & Delivery
Adding the matching foil board lid creates a more practical covered package for food that needs to be collected, transported or prepared in advance.
The lid helps keep the contents covered while trays are moved between:
- Kitchen preparation areas
- Takeaway counters
- Delivery vehicles
- Catering venues
- Buffet preparation areas
- Refrigerated storage
For foods containing sauces or liquids, avoid overfilling and keep the container upright during transport. The lid should not be considered a completely leak-proof seal.
Supports Heat & Chilled Food Retention
Covering a hot No.1 foil container can help reduce heat loss compared with leaving the tray completely uncovered. This is useful for takeaway portions, catering dishes and food waiting for collection or service.
For suitable chilled foods, the lid also provides a useful protective cover during preparation, refrigerated storage and transport.
The lid supports temperature retention but does not replace appropriate hot-holding equipment, insulated delivery bags, refrigeration or normal food-safety procedures.
Practical Bulk Pack for Restaurants & Takeaways
With 1,000 lids per case, this product is suited to foodservice businesses that use small aluminium foil trays in larger quantities.
Typical users include:
- Restaurants
- Takeaways
- Cafés
- Bakeries
- Dessert shops
- Event caterers
- Buffet businesses
- Meal-preparation kitchens
- Food stalls and mobile caterers
- Commercial kitchens
Practical for Storage, Stacking & Organisation
Using the correct foil board lid creates a flatter covered surface than leaving a container open, helping prepared portions stay organised during food preparation, storage and normal transport.
For best results:
- Do not fill food above the rim of the container
- Position the lid evenly over the tray
- Secure the foil rim around the lid where appropriate
- Keep sauce-rich foods upright during transport
- Check the lid is properly fitted before delivery
- Avoid placing excessive weight on filled containers

Heating Guidance
The matching 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 specifically confirms that the lid is suitable for the intended temperature and heating method.
Do not assume that foil board lids are 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.
