View Specialty Lids โLid Materials for Every Application
Six food-grade materials, each engineered for a specific temperature, clarity and sustainability profile.
PP
Versatile, heat-resistant to 100 ยฐC and microwave safe. The go-to material for high-volume foodservice cup lids and container lids.
PET
Highest optical clarity among common plastics. Enhances product visibility and shelf appeal for cold beverages and fresh-food displays.
rPET
Post-consumer recycled PET with GRS certification. Same cold-drink performance as PET while helping brands meet sustainability sourcing targets.
CPET
Withstands freezer, microwave and conventional oven temperatures. Designed for ready-meal programs where trays and lids share a single material.
CPLA
BPI-certified commercially compostable PLA, crystallized for hot-drink use up to 95 ยฐC. Built for markets with single-use plastic restrictions.
PS
Low-density, dimensionally stable and budget-friendly. Optimized for standardized high-volume procurement where cost per unit is the priority.
Eco-Friendly Plastic Lid Options
Regulations on single-use plastics are tightening across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. SOWINTOP offers two proven eco-friendly lid solutions that let foodservice operators stay compliant without changing their cup sizes or dispensing systems.
rPET lids use GRS-certified post-consumer recycled content and are compatible with existing PET recycling streams โ helping brands reduce virgin plastic demand while maintaining cold-drink clarity.
CPLA lids are plant-based and commercially compostable under BPI or EN 13432 standards, giving coffee chains and quick-service restaurants a drop-in hot-drink lid for plastic-ban markets.
