PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 1-gallon pry-off lids safe for direct food contact?
Yes, these BPA-free L702 lids are manufactured from food-grade materials that comply with FDA regulations for direct contact with edible products, making them suitable for canning sauces, dry goods, and other food items.
Are the L702 pry-off lids compatible with standard 1-gallon metal cans?
Yes, the L702 profile is designed to fit most industry-standard 1-gallon (401 x 700) metal cans with matching bead dimensions, ensuring a secure, leak-resistant closure.
What material are these BPA-free lids made from?
These lids are stamped from tin-plated steel and lined with a food-safe, epoxies-free polymer coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance while eliminating BPA.
Do these pry-off lids create an airtight seal suitable for liquids?
When properly seamed or pressed into place on a compatible can, the lid’s compound lining compresses to form a tight hermetic seal that prevents leaks and helps preserve product freshness for both liquids and dry goods.
What temperature range can these food-grade lids withstand?
The tin-plated steel construction can tolerate fill temperatures from 0 °F (-18 °C) up to approximately 200 °F (93 °C). While safe for hot fill below 200 °F, they are not intended for retort or pressure-cooker sterilization cycles.
How many lids come in a case and how are they packed?
Each master case contains 160 individual L702 pry-off lids, separated by chipboard dividers and poly-bagged in stacks to minimize scratching and maintain lining integrity during transit.
Can these lids be used for hot fill applications such as soups or sauces?
Yes, they can accommodate hot fill products up to 200 °F provided the filled cans are promptly inverted or vacuum-sealed to ensure proper compound adhesion and oxygen reduction. They are not recommended for retort temperatures above that threshold.
Are these steel lids recyclable after use?
Absolutely. Tin-plated steel is widely accepted in curbside and industrial recycling streams, allowing the lids to be melted down and repurposed, supporting sustainable packaging initiatives.
