Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A bustling soup kitchen in Cardiff needed to upgrade its takeaway packaging. Their previous lids were inconsistent and often resulted in leaks during handout, causing frustration for both staff and patrons. They switched to the Fiesta 98mm lids to find a more reliable and secure solution.
"We rely on our packaging to be dependable. These lids fit perfectly every single time. It means our soups get to people hot and without any mess, which makes a huge difference to their day."
Michael Davies – Operations Manager
The switch completely eliminated spillage-related issues, improving the efficiency of their service and ensuring every meal was delivered as intended.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best Seal
- Ensure the rim of your soup container is clean and dry before lidding.
- Place the lid centrally on top of the container.
- Press down firmly around the entire edge with your fingers to create a secure, even seal.
- You should feel a slight 'click' or snap as the lid locks into place.
Storage & Handling
- Store the lids in their original box in a cool, dry area to prevent warping.
- Keep them away from dampness or direct heat sources.
- Handle the stacks carefully to avoid bending or damaging the edges.
- Always use a 'first in, first out' system to rotate your stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these lids completely leak-proof?
A: They are designed to be highly leak-resistant when paired with the correct Fiesta containers and sealed properly. They are ideal for transporting liquids like soup securely.
Q: Can I write on these cardboard lids?
A: Yes, the plain brown cardboard surface is perfect for writing on with a marker, allowing you to easily label contents or add customer names.
Q: Are they suitable for cold foods as well?
A: Absolutely. While designed for hot soup, they work perfectly well for covering cold items like salads, yoghurts, or desserts.
Q: What does the 98mm measurement refer to?
A: This is the external diameter of the lid, designed to fit a container with a corresponding 98mm rim.
Q: What does 'recyclable through specialist streams' actually mean?
A: It means the lid can be recycled, but likely not in your standard household or kerbside bin. It requires collection via a commercial waste service that handles food-contaminated or coated paper products.
Q: How should I store the box of lids?
A: Keep them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight or moisture to ensure they maintain their shape and integrity.
Q: Is the material certified as food-safe?
A: Yes, all Fiesta food packaging is made from materials that are certified as safe for direct contact with food.
Q: Do these lids have a small steam vent?
A: No, these specific lids are solid to maximise heat retention for soups and stews. They do not have a steam vent.
