This helps maintain the texture and presentation of hot dishes — particularly soups, broths, and sauced foods — from the point of packing through to delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSecure fit with 26oz and 32oz Soup Containers: The 118mm diameter is matched specifically to the NextWave Soup Containers 26oz and 32oz. A well-fitted lid reduces the risk of displacement or leakage during bagging, stacking, and delivery handling, supporting consistent performance across high-volume service periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDesigned for hot food applications: PP (polypropylene) is a heat-resistant material suited for use with hot soups, broths, and liquid-based dishes. It maintains its shape and seal under the temperatures typical of freshly packed hot food, making it suitable for immediate packing after cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eConsistent sizing supports kitchen workflow: Using a defined lid matched to a specific container size simplifies packing operations. Kitchen staff can apply the correct lid without needing to check compatibility at the point of service, which helps reduce packing errors and supports speed during busy service periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hot and cold food applications: While primarily selected for hot soups and liquid dishes, PP lids are also suitable for cold food applications, giving operators flexibility across different menu formats where the same container and lid are used for both hot and chilled products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NextWave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62823213531507,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6232\/4339\/files\/PPVentedLids118mm_ff4edc63-2476-4bda-817e-ae1b6f9d81be.jpg?v=1778284802","url":"https:\/\/next-wave.uk\/products\/pp-vented-lids-118-mm","provider":"Next Wave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
