Matching M-7000T PP Clear Domed Lid
For a complete takeaway pack, pair this base with the compatible:
Mani M-7000T PP Clear Domed Lids for 12oz & 16oz Oval Containers – Pack of 500 .
The clear PP lid is designed to fit both the 12oz Mani M-7000 and compatible 16oz Mani oval container. Its domed profile provides extra headroom above the food compared with a completely flat lid, which can be useful for fuller portions and presentation.
The transparent lid also allows staff to see the contents without opening the container, helping with order checking during busy takeaway and delivery service.
Please note: the lids are sold separately and are not included with this pack of 500 bases.
12oz or 16oz Mani Oval Container?
The 12oz M-7000 is useful for smaller meals and controlled portions. For customers who need additional capacity, a 16oz oval Mani container may be more appropriate.
- 12oz M-7000: suited to smaller takeaway portions, sides and meal-prep dishes.
- 16oz M-7100: provides additional capacity for larger individual meals and fuller portions.
A useful advantage of this range is that the Mani M-7000T PP domed lid fits both the compatible 12oz and 16oz bases, helping businesses simplify lid stock where both container sizes are used.
Microwave & Freezer Use
The polypropylene base is suitable for appropriate microwave reheating. Follow normal food-safety guidance, avoid excessive heating and take care when handling hot food after reheating.
When using a lid during microwave reheating, do not create a completely sealed container. Allow steam to escape and follow the manufacturer's guidance for the base, lid and food being heated.
The PP base is also suitable for appropriate chilled and freezer storage, making it useful for meal-prep businesses and kitchens that prepare food ahead of service.
Do not use this container in a conventional oven or under a grill unless the manufacturer specifically confirms suitability for that application.
Professional Black Food Presentation
The black base provides contrast against many foods, helping colourful dishes, rice, vegetables, pasta and prepared meals stand out when viewed through the clear matching lid.
This combination is useful for meal-prep businesses, takeaway counters and delivery kitchens where customers may see the packaged food before opening it.
Stackable Packaging for Busy Kitchens
The oval bases can be stacked before use, helping reduce the amount of shelf and preparation space required for a case of 500 containers.
Because the M-7000T lid is shared with compatible 12oz and 16oz Mani bases, businesses using both sizes can also reduce the number of different lid types that need to be stored.
