Complete your kraft takeaway packaging with these Dispo brown paper soup lids. Product code 49020 is designed for compatible Dispo soup containers in three sizes: 8oz, 12oz and 16oz.
Supplied in a bulk pack of 500 lids, they are suitable for takeaways, cafés, restaurants, caterers, food trucks and other professional foodservice businesses.

It is suitable for compatible containers holding hot or cold dishes such as soup, noodles, chilli, pasta, sides and desserts.

Compatible Dispo Kraft Soup Containers
These lids are designed for the following Dispo container bases:
| Container Size | Pack Contents | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| 8oz / 237ml | 500 container bases; lids sold separately | Small soups, sauces, sides, snacks and desserts |
| 12oz / 355ml | 500 container bases; lids sold separately | Regular soup portions, noodles, porridge, sides and desserts |

| Dispo Lid 49020 | 500 paper lids | Compatible with all three listed Dispo container sizes |
Each compatible base product is supplied in a pack of 500. One case of these lids can therefore be matched with one case of 8oz, 12oz or 16oz container bases.
Compatibility with containers from other manufacturers or product ranges cannot be guaranteed. Use the linked Dispo bases for the intended fit.
One Lid for Three Portion Sizes
Using one lid for three different container capacities can help make packaging stock easier to manage. Staff can select an 8oz, 12oz or 16oz base according to the required portion while using the same Dispo lid.
This can help:
- Reduce the number of separate lid products held in stock
- Simplify repeat ordering
- Make container and lid selection easier during busy service
- Reduce the risk of selecting the wrong lid
- Support small, regular and medium portion sizes
- Keep replacement stock easier to monitor
How to Fit the Paper Lid Correctly
Correct application is important for achieving the intended closure and reducing the risk of spills.
- Place the compatible container on a stable and level surface
- Avoid filling the container to the rim
- Leave sufficient space between the food and lid
- Position the lid evenly over the container opening
- Press around the complete edge until attached
- Check that every part of the rim is covered
- Keep soups and other liquid-rich dishes upright
- Use an appropriate takeaway bag or delivery carrier
The lid-and-container combination is designed to be leak-resistant during normal takeaway use, but it should not be treated as completely leakproof. Performance depends on correct fitting, filling level, food consistency and transportation conditions.
Suitable for Hot and Cold Takeaway Food
When fitted to a compatible Dispo container, these lids can be used to cover a wide range of suitable hot and cold takeaway dishes, including:
- Soups and broths
- Noodles and ramen-style dishes
- Chilli and stews
- Curries and rice portions
- Pasta and macaroni cheese
- Porridge and breakfast dishes
- Mashed potato and vegetable sides
- Cold pasta and grain salads
- Fruit, yoghurt and granola
- Ice cream and chilled desserts
- Warm puddings and desserts
Suitability will depend on the food temperature, consistency, filling level and intended holding time. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance and your established food-safety procedures.
