PakMax 117 mm PET Flat Deli Lid FL-117C-PET-LID Carton of 500

The PakMax FL-117C-PET-LID is a clear PET flat lid with a recorded 117 mm base and a height of 11.5 mm, supplied in a carton of 500. The supplier states that it fits the PakMax 117 mm PET deli containers, and records it at -20 to +60 degrees C.

Why operators choose the FL-117C-PET-LID

• 117 mm base - the same figure the PakMax 117 mm PET deli containers record as their top, so the lid base and the container top are opposite sides of the same joint
• 11.5 mm high - the shallowest of the three PakMax 117 mm lids - the outer-fit flat is 15 mm and the dome is 40 mm
• Snap-fit closure - described by the supplier as tight and leak resistant
• Clear PET (polyethylene terephthalate) - the contents stay visible, which is what a chilled grab-and-go shelf sells on
• Rated -20 to +60 degrees C - recorded against this lid, and matched by the containers it closes, so neither half of a closed pair sets a lower ceiling
• 500 per carton - the carton count is the same across the whole 117 mm PET range
• Recyclable - the supplier's own wording
• Colour recorded as Clear - the supplier's own wording
• Flat profile - closed units sit lower and pack closer together than they do under a dome, which is what decides how many fit a chiller shelf or a transport crate
• Fits all three container sizes - the 8, 12 and 16 oz PakMax 117 mm PET containers share one 117 mm top, so one lid line covers the range

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suits salad bars, deli counters, dessert and fruit displays, grab-and-go chillers, caterers and delivery kitchens closing a chilled PET deli container for transport.

See the full PakMax range.

The containers this lid closes are the 8 oz DELI-117-8C, the 12 oz DELI-117-12C and the 16 oz DELI-117-16C, all sold separately. The other two 117 mm lids are the outer-fit flat lid OF-117C-PET-LID and the dome lid DL-117C-PET-LID.

Installation & delivery

Nothing to install - this is a single-use disposable supplied as a carton of 500. The carton measures 615 x 240 x 270 mm with a gross weight of 3.7 kg. Freight on a light, bulky carton like this is calculated on its cubic volume rather than its gross weight, so the shipping weight shown at checkout is the higher of the two. Store flat and dry.

Warranty terms vary by product - see our warranty information page for full details.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does it fit?

The supplier states that it fits the PakMax 117 mm PET deli containers, and records a 117 mm base on this lid - the same figure those containers record as their top, so the two halves are recorded to the same diameter from opposite sides of the joint. That covers all three sizes, because the 8, 12 and 16 oz containers differ only in depth. That host range is a different product line from the PakMax kraft paper deli containers, which record 115 mm and 96 mm tops and take their own paper lids - a 117 mm PET lid is not a substitute for those, and we have not claimed a fit the supplier does not state.

Q: There are three 117 mm PET lids - which one do I want?

This flat lid at 11.5 mm, the outer-fit flat OF-117C-PET-LID at 15 mm, and the dome DL-117C-PET-LID at 40 mm. All three record a 117 mm base, all three are clear PET, all three are recorded at -20 to +60 degrees C and all three come 500 to a carton, so the choice is about profile and fitting method rather than about fit or temperature. The supplier describes only the OF-117C-PET-LID as seating over the OUTSIDE of the container rim, for a flush finish; it does not state a fitting method for this lid or for the dome, and we have not inferred one. That distinction is worth settling before you commit to a pallet, because a lid designed to fit outside a rim is not interchangeable with one designed to fit inside it at the same nominal diameter - ask our team for a sample of each and we will confirm it with the supplier.

Q: Why is it the flattest of the three and what does that buy me?

At 11.5 mm it adds less to the closed height of every unit than the 15 mm outer-fit lid and far less than the 40 mm dome, so more filled units fit the same chiller shelf or transport crate. The trade is headroom: where the food stands proud of the rim or must not be compressed - a layered salad, fruit, anything garnished - the dome is the right lid and this one is not. Where the food sits below the rim, this is the one that earns its space.

Q: How hot can it be used?

This lid is recorded at -20 to +60 degrees C, and the supplier sells it for cold food - salads, fruit, desserts and prepared meals. The 117 mm PET containers it closes carry the same -20 to +60, so on this family neither half of a closed pair sets a lower ceiling than the other. On any sealed assembly it is the lower-rated component that governs, so if you ever pair it with something else, check that component too. It is not a hot-fill lid.

Q: Is this FSC certified?

The supplier records an FSC certification against this product and we have published it exactly as recorded. We want to be straight with you about it, though: FSC certifies forest and plant fibre, and this item is PET, which contains none. We have flagged the record with the supplier. If FSC certification is part of your own compliance or tender documentation, do not rely on this line - ask our team and we will get the certificate or a correction from the supplier before you commit.

Q: How many does a carton hold, and what does it weigh?

Five hundred units per carton, at 615 x 240 x 270 mm with a gross weight of 3.7 kg. Freight on a light, bulky carton like this is charged on cubic volume rather than gross weight, so the shipping weight shown at checkout is the higher of the two figures.

Q: What do the photographs show?

Two images: a studio photograph of the lid on its own, and a stack of them on a bench. Both were downloaded, hashed and viewed at full size before being attached, and both show a flat clear lid of the profile described rather than a dome. Neither is a fitted shot - how a lid seats is the thing a photograph is most useful for, and we have asked the supplier for one. Ask our team if you would like a sample.

Q: Are the recorded dimensions the item or the carton?

The carton. The Width, Depth and Height recorded against this product match the carton size stated in the supplier description exactly, which is how we can say it with certainty rather than assuming it. The item's own size is published separately in the specifications above. Use the carton figures for storage and freight planning, not for portion planning.

Q: What warranty applies?

No warranty term is recorded against this SKU by the supplier. That is not unusual for a single-use disposable, and we have not borrowed a term from a sibling product. See our warranty information page, or ask our team if you need something in writing.
