Material and Functional Advantages

Polypropylene is widely recognized in the food packaging industry for its excellent heat stability, toughness, and food-contact safety. It is especially preferred for hot meals where PET lids may deform or become unsuitable due to heat exposure.

Food-Grade and Chemically Safe

PP is naturally resistant to acids, oils, and fats, making it ideal for dishes with sauces, seasonings, and hot oils. It contains no harmful additives and meets international standards for direct food contact.

Lightweight Yet Strong

At only 8g, the NL500-PP lid maintains impressive flexibility and structural durability. It bends without cracking, resists impacts, and remains dependable during high-volume takeaway operations.

Heat-Resistant Performance

While most PET lids are designed for cold foods, PP stands out for its suitability with warm meals. The lid remains stable and maintains its shape when used with freshly cooked foods, making it a preferred option for hot-food service.

Moisture-Locking Seal

The precision-engineered rim ensures a tight, stable fit on N-series containers, helping reduce spills, minimize steam escape, and preserve food appearance during delivery and transport.

Design and Structure

The NL500-PP lid is thoughtfully built for clarity of function, operational efficiency, and a dependable user experience.

Optimized Fit for Multiple Sizes

A single lid model fitting N500, N700, and N702 reduces storage volume and simplifies foodservice workflows.

Smooth, User-Friendly Surface

The lid’s clean design prevents food residues from sticking along the inner edge, ensuring easy handling and hygienic use.

Shallow Profile for Efficient Stacking

At only 12.5 mm height, the lid stacks tightly to save storage space in restaurants, commissary kitchens, and retail food production facilities.

Flexible, Crack-Resistant Build

PP’s natural elasticity prevents breakage under pressure — essential for daily restaurant operations and transportation.
