78 Flat Lid: Sustainable, Leak-Proof PLA Lid for 78 Series Cups

DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

At DaShan, we focus on producing innovative, high-quality food packaging solutions that combine sustainability with functionality. The 78 Flat Lid is crafted with the same care and attention to detail as all of our products. By using PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable and compostable material made from renewable plant-based resources, the 78 Flat Lid ensures minimal environmental impact while offering businesses a reliable and customizable packaging solution.

Every 78 Flat Lid is designed to seamlessly fit on the 78 Series cups. Its precise fit ensures a leak-proof seal that holds up even when the cup is tilted. This functionality is particularly valuable for businesses in the foodservice industry, offering customers the peace of mind that their beverages will remain securely sealed during transport.

Materials & Sourcing

The 78 Flat Lid is made from PLA, a plant-based material derived from renewable resources like corn or sugarcane. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, PLA is biodegradable and compostable, breaking down naturally in industrial composting environments. The material is certified by several international standards, including ISO 9001, FDA, ASTM D6400, and BPI. These certifications ensure that the lid is safe for use in food applications and has a minimal environmental footprint.

At DaShan, we carefully select our suppliers to ensure that the PLA used in our products meets the highest quality and sustainability standards. The 78 Flat Lid aligns with our commitment to providing eco-friendly alternatives that help reduce plastic waste and promote a circular economy.
