Product Specifications

Designed for 9 Inch Round Aluminium Foil Containers

These lids are designed to pair with compatible 9-inch round aluminium foil containers.

For the matching base, see our Round 9-Inch (22.7cm) Aluminium Foil Containers – Pack of 400 .

Using the correct lid is important because foil containers with similar-looking dimensions may have different rim profiles. Always match the lid to the appropriate container rather than assuming another 9-inch lid will provide the same fit.

Helps Keep Food Covered During Takeaway & Delivery

Adding a matching lid creates a more practical packaging solution for food that needs to be prepared in advance, stored, transported or delivered.

Once fitted correctly, the lid helps protect the food during normal handling and can make round foil containers easier to organise for takeaway orders, catering events and meal preparation.

The 9-inch round format is suitable for a wide variety of foods, including:

• Rice dishes
• Curries
• Pasta and baked pasta dishes
• Roasted vegetables
• Meat and poultry portions
• Casseroles
• Large desserts
• Pies and baked dishes
• Prepared catering meals

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

Supports Better Heat & Chilled Food Retention

Covering a compatible foil tray helps reduce direct exposure of the food and can help slow heat loss compared with transporting the same container completely uncovered.

For chilled foods, the lid provides a useful protective cover while dishes are prepared, refrigerated and transported under appropriate temperature-controlled conditions.

The lid supports temperature retention but does not replace correct hot-holding equipment, insulated delivery bags or refrigeration where these are required.

Ideal for Restaurants, Takeaways & Catering

The combination of a 9-inch round foil container and matching foil-board lid is suitable for businesses serving larger individual meals, family portions and prepared dishes.

Typical users include:

• Restaurants and takeaways
• Event caterers
• Buffet and banqueting businesses
• Bakeries
• Food stalls
• Meal-preparation businesses
• Commercial kitchens
• Food delivery operations

Practical for Storage & Transport

A matching foil-board lid creates a flatter covered surface, making prepared trays easier to organise in a busy catering environment.

For best results:

• Do not fill food above the rim of the container
• Place the lid evenly over the tray
• Secure the foil rim around the lid where appropriate
• Keep sauce-rich foods upright during transport
• Avoid placing excessive weight on top of filled trays

Why Use a Matching Foil Board Lid?

Using the matching lid provides several advantages compared with leaving a prepared foil container uncovered:

• Food protection: helps keep prepared meals covered during normal handling
• Temperature support: can help reduce heat loss compared with an uncovered tray
• Takeaway presentation: creates a neater covered food pack
• Transport: provides a practical cover for catering and delivery
• Organisation: makes prepared containers easier to arrange and store

Heating Guidance

The compatible aluminium foil tray may be suitable for certain cooking and reheating applications, but the foil board lid should normally be removed before heating unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically confirm that it is suitable for the intended method and temperature.

Do not assume that foil-board lids are suitable for ovens, grills or microwave use.
