No.6 Foil Board Lids – Pack of 500

No.6 Foil Board Lids for Takeaway, Catering & Food Delivery

Keep larger takeaway meals covered during storage, collection and transport with these No.6 Foil Board Lids. Designed specifically for compatible No.6 aluminium foil containers, they provide a practical covering solution for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and commercial kitchens.

When fitted correctly to the matching No.6 foil tray, the lid helps protect prepared food during normal handling and delivery. Covering the container can also help support temperature retention compared with leaving hot or chilled food completely uncovered.

Each case contains 500 foil board lids, making them suitable for busy foodservice businesses using No.6 aluminium trays regularly.

Product Specifications

Designed for No.6 Aluminium Foil Containers

These lids are designed to fit the compatible No.6 aluminium foil container measuring approximately 110 x 210 x 60mm.

For the matching base, see our No.6 Aluminium Foil Containers 110 x 210 x 60mm – Pack of 500 .

Using the correct matching lid is important. No.6 and No.6A foil trays may look similar, but they have different dimensions and require the appropriate lid for the best fit.

Ideal for Larger Takeaway Meals & Deeper Portions

The No.6 aluminium container is larger and deeper than the No.6A format, making it particularly useful for substantial individual meals, combo portions and dishes that require additional depth.

The matching No.6 board lid makes this format suitable for foods such as:

• Curries and rice dishes
• Pasta and pasta bakes
• Noodles and stir-fries
• Meat and poultry meals
• Vegetables and side dishes
• Lasagne and layered meals
• Combo meals
• Larger takeaway portions
• Prepared catering meals

Helps Keep Food Covered During Takeaway & Delivery

Adding the correct foil board lid creates a more practical covered package for collection, takeaway and food delivery.

Once positioned correctly, the lid helps keep prepared food covered while containers are moved between the kitchen, takeaway counter, delivery vehicle and customer.

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

Supports Heat & Chilled Food Retention

Covering a hot No.6 foil tray can help reduce heat loss compared with leaving the container completely uncovered. This is particularly useful for takeaway meals waiting for collection, catering dishes and food being prepared for delivery.

For suitable chilled foods, the lid also helps keep the contents covered during preparation, refrigerated storage and transport.

The lid supports temperature retention but does not replace correct hot-holding equipment, insulated delivery bags, refrigeration or other required food-safety controls.

No.6 vs No.6A Foil Containers – What Is the Difference?

The No.6 and No.6A are both popular rectangular takeaway foil trays, but the No.6 provides more space and depth for larger meals.

These No.6 foil board lids are intended for No.6 trays. They should not be substituted for No.6A lids simply because the two containers have a similar appearance.

Suitable for Restaurants, Takeaways & Catering

Supplied in a bulk case of 500, No.6 foil board lids are a practical choice for foodservice businesses using larger rectangular foil trays on a regular basis.

They are suitable for:

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

Practical for Storage, Stacking & Organisation

A matching board lid gives the container a flatter covered surface, helping prepared trays remain more organised during kitchen preparation, refrigerated 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 meals upright during transport
• Check the lid is correctly fitted before delivery
• Avoid placing excessive weight on filled containers

Heating Guidance

The matching No.6 aluminium foil container is 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 microwave use.

Aluminium foil containers should not normally be used in a microwave unless both the appliance manufacturer and container guidance specifically permit their use.
