Box lid disposable salad 250 grams Parcel 700

The GFT 250g salad box is an alternative to the classic hinged format: its tear-off lid offers two tangible advantages to the customer—it can be removed for self-service on a buffet and it allows the establishment to personalize the lid (labeling, branding). It's the signature format for premium salad bars and caterers who focus on the visual appeal of their individual 250g offerings.

Who is this format intended for?

The 250g format of the GFT range targets specific uses in the food service and catering industries. Main target markets:

• Premium salad bars: customizable container
• Caterers who label their offerings over the lid
• Event buffet: removable lid for self-service
• Gourmet food shops: offerings with careful labeling
• Premium deli counter: differentiation vs. integrated hinge
• Salad bar white label: lid customization

The advantages of the GFT range

• Rigid transparent APET: visible preparation, visual enhancement of the product
• Detachable lid (separates from the base): flexibility for buffet service or lid labeling
• For cold use only (no microwaves)
• Hinged lid closure: airtight for transport
• Customization possible: the removable lid allows for top-quality labeling or packaging
• APET rigidity: comfortable to hold and stacked in storage
• Made in Italy, approved for food contact according to EU regulations

Technical specifications

• Material: APET (amorphous polyethylene terephthalate)

• Appearance: transparent, rigid
• Food contact approval: compliant with EU regulations

What is the advantage of a tear-off lid compared to an integrated hinge?

Two advantages: (1) on a buffet, all the lids can be removed in one go for self-service; (2) the lid can be labeled, personalized or packaged separately for a neat commercial presentation.

Is the GFT box microwave-safe?

NO. APET is intended for cold use (salads, fresh preparations). For reheating, use the BMF range (microwaveable polypropylene).

Is the lid lost if it is detached?

No, it's designed to snap back onto the base. Detachability is a selling point, not a design flaw.

Can I customize the lid with my logo?

Printed customization is not possible on a standard format. However, labeling with a self-adhesive strip or top label is particularly easy thanks to the flat, detachable lid.
