No.12 Round Foil Board Lid 7 Inch – Pack of 400

7 Inch Round Foil Board Lids for Takeaway, Catering & Delivery

Keep prepared food covered and ready for takeaway, catering and transport with these No.12 Round Foil Board Lids. Designed for compatible 7-inch round aluminium foil containers, they provide a practical covering solution for restaurants, takeaways, bakeries, caterers, food stalls and commercial kitchens.

The lid sits over the compatible foil tray to help protect the contents during normal handling, storage and transport. It also helps reduce direct exposure of the food while supporting better temperature retention than leaving the container uncovered.

Each case contains 400 round foil board lids.

Product Specifications

Designed for No.12 7 Inch Round Foil Containers

These lids are designed for use with the compatible No.12 7-inch round aluminium foil container.

For the matching base, see our No.12 Round Aluminium Foil Container 7" x 2" .

Using the correct matching lid is important because foil containers that appear similar can have different rim dimensions. A lid intended for another tray size should not be assumed to fit securely.

Helps Keep Food Covered During Takeaway & Delivery

Adding the correct lid creates a more practical container-and-lid combination for takeaway, catering and transport. Once fitted properly, the lid helps keep the contents covered while food is moved between preparation areas, service counters, delivery vehicles and catering venues.

The round No.12 format works particularly well for individual and portion-controlled foods such as:

• Rice dishes
• Curries and side dishes
• Pasta portions
• Vegetables
• Hot snacks
• Individual baked dishes
• Desserts and puddings
• Prepared catering portions

For foods containing large amounts of liquid or sauce, keep the container upright and avoid overfilling. The lid should not be treated as a completely leak-proof seal.

Supports Heat & Chilled Temperature Retention

Covering a compatible aluminium foil container can help reduce heat loss compared with leaving the tray completely uncovered. This can be useful when preparing hot takeaway meals or moving food between kitchen and service areas.

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

Correct hot-holding and refrigeration procedures must still be followed. A foil board lid does not replace insulated delivery equipment, refrigeration or other required food-temperature controls.

Suitable for Restaurants, Takeaways & Catering Businesses

No.12 round foil trays are a useful format where businesses need neat individual portions rather than larger rectangular or gastronorm containers.

These matching lids are suitable for:

• Restaurants and takeaways
• Event caterers
• Bakeries and dessert shops
• Food stalls and street-food businesses
• Buffet catering
• Meal-preparation kitchens
• Commercial kitchens
• Food delivery businesses

Useful for Storage, Stacking & Transport

A matching foil board lid helps create a flatter top surface on the container, making covered trays easier to organise during preparation, storage and transport.

For best results:

• Do not overfill the foil tray above the rim
• Position the lid evenly over the container
• Secure the container rim around the lid where appropriate
• Keep liquid-rich foods upright during transport
• Avoid placing excessive weight on top of filled containers

Foil Board Lid or Uncovered Foil Tray?

Using a matching lid provides several practical advantages compared with transporting or storing the foil container uncovered.

• Better food protection: helps reduce exposure during normal handling
• Improved presentation: provides a neater covered takeaway pack
• Temperature support: helps reduce heat loss compared with an uncovered tray
• More practical transport: helps keep food covered during catering and delivery
• Improved organisation: makes prepared portions easier to identify and arrange

Heating Guidance

The matching aluminium foil container may be suitable for cooking or reheating applications, but the foil board lid should be removed before oven use unless the manufacturer specifically confirms that the lid is suitable for the intended heating method.

Do not place aluminium foil containers or foil board lids in a microwave unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically state that the product and appliance combination is suitable.
