Sabert Clear rPET Lids for 500ml Round Pulp Bowls – Pack of 500

In stock. Display and protect chilled food with these clear Sabert rPET lids for 500ml round pulp bowls. Designed for the Sabert BePulp round bowl system, each lid provides excellent product visibility while helping to cover food for refrigerated display, collection and takeaway service.

The transparent anti-fog design helps customers see salads, fruit, desserts, pasta and other chilled dishes without opening the container. The lids are made from post-consumer recycled PET and contain at least 50% recycled material.

Each lid measures approximately 158mm in diameter and 12mm high. It is designed to fit the compatible Sabert 500ml Round Pulp Bowl PUL46016, which is sold separately.

Please note: this listing contains lids only. The reference to 500ml identifies the capacity of the compatible bowl and is not a capacity measurement for the lid.

These rPET lids are intended for cold and chilled food and are suitable for refrigerated and freezer storage. For hot meals or microwave reheating, choose the compatible Sabert PP Lid PUL51616PP instead.

Supplied in a wholesale case of 500 clear lids, packed as ten sleeves of 50, they are suitable for cafés, salad bars, delis, takeaways, catering companies, meal-preparation businesses and chilled-food retailers.

Designed for the Sabert 500ml Round Pulp Bowl

This lid is designed to fit the Sabert Round Pulp Bowl PUL46016. The matching bowl has a nominal capacity of 500ml and measures approximately 150mm in diameter and 60mm high.

The lid itself measures approximately 158mm across because it fits over the outer rim of the bowl. This product is sometimes described as a lid for the Sabert 15cm or 16cm round bowl system.

Always match products using the Sabert product codes rather than relying only on the nominal diameter:

• Compatible bowl: PUL46016 / PUL46016HC
• Clear rPET lid: PUL51616
• Clear PP alternative: PUL51616PP

Matching Bowl Sold Separately

This listing contains 500 lids only. The 500ml pulp bases must be ordered separately.

Complete the container set with the Sabert Round Pulp Bowl PUL46016, 500ml – Pack of 500.

Ordering equal quantities of 500 bowls and 500 lids provides 500 complete container-and-lid sets.

High-Clarity Presentation for Chilled Food

The clear recycled-PET construction provides excellent visibility of the food inside the bowl. Customers can view the ingredients, colours and presentation without removing the lid.

This makes the lids particularly suitable for:

• Prepared salads
• Poke bowls
• Fruit salads
• Cold pasta dishes
• Rice and grain salads
• Deli meals
• Cold noodles
• Chilled desserts
• Yoghurt and granola
• Cheese and antipasti selections
• Cold meal-preparation portions
• Grab-and-go food displays

Anti-Fog Lid for Improved Visibility

Temperature differences between chilled food and the surrounding environment can cause condensation to form inside clear packaging. The anti-fog finish helps reduce misting across the lid, supporting clearer product presentation.

Anti-fog performance may vary according to food temperature, moisture content, storage conditions and the length of time the container remains closed.

Made with Post-Consumer Recycled PET

The lid is manufactured from recycled polyethylene terephthalate, commonly called rPET. Sabert states that the lid contains at least 50% post-consumer recycled material.

Post-consumer recycled PET is produced using material recovered after previous consumer use. Incorporating recycled content helps reduce reliance on entirely virgin plastic while retaining the clear finish required for chilled-food presentation.

Suitable for Refrigerated and Frozen Food

Sabert identifies this rPET lid as suitable for chilled food, refrigerated storage and freezer use. It can therefore be used for prepared meals that need to remain cold before sale or service.

Follow appropriate food-safety procedures when cooling, refrigerating, freezing and defrosting food. Avoid placing very hot food directly into a chilled container system.

Check the lid and base after freezing or defrosting before moving the container, particularly when the contents are heavy or contain liquid.

Not Suitable for Microwave or Hot-Food Use

This rPET lid is designed for chilled and cold food. It should be removed before heating the matching pulp bowl in a microwave or other heating appliance.

Do not place this lid in:

• Microwave ovens
• Conventional ovens
• Hot holding units
• Beneath heat lamps
• Direct contact with grills or heating elements
• Contact with open flames

For hot-food service or microwave reheating, use the Sabert PP Lid PUL51616PP. The PP version is specifically designed for heat-resistant and microwave applications.

Suitable for Food Display and Takeaway Service

The transparent lid is useful where food presentation influences the customer’s purchasing decision. It allows prepared products to remain covered while still being clearly visible.

Suitable businesses include:

• Salad bars
• Cafés and coffee shops
• Delicatessens
• Takeaway restaurants
• Poke and sushi businesses
• Meal-preparation companies
• Supermarkets and convenience stores
• Food halls
• Hotel and workplace catering
• School and university catering
• Event catering companies
• Cold-food production kitchens

Recycling Guidance

The lid is made from recyclable rPET. Actual recycling availability depends on whether local household or commercial waste services accept clear PET food packaging.

Remove food residue where practical and follow the instructions supplied by your local authority or waste contractor. Do not place the lid in composting, food-waste or garden-waste collections.

The matching pulp bowl and the rPET lid are made from different materials and may need to be separated before disposal.

Storage and Handling

Store unused lids inside their original sleeves and outer case in a clean, dry location. Keep them away from direct heat, sunlight, dust and strong odours.

Avoid placing excessive weight on the case, as this may distort the lids and affect their fit.

Before handing a filled container to the customer:

• Check that the bowl rim is clean and undamaged
• Align the lid evenly over the bowl
• Press around the full rim to engage the lid
• Check that no section remains raised
• Keep the finished container upright during transport
