OPS vs. PET vs. PP Lids: Which Material Is Right for Your Foodservice Operation?
Food container lids may seem like a minor detail, but the wrong material choice or improper handling will cause problems from the first use. OPS lids have high brittleness and crack easily under certain handling conditions; PET lids have a heat resistance ceiling of only 60°C and may deform on direct contact with hot food; PP lids offer the best heat resistance, but many buyers are unaware this option exists.
