lidding
Putting covers on
Lidding is the process of putting lids on containers, especially in packaging and manufacturing contexts.
The term appears most often in industrial settings where products like yogurt cups, food trays, or pharmaceutical containers receive their sealed covers.
Lidding film or lidding material refers to the flexible sheet that gets heat-sealed or pressed onto container tops.
The lidding machine can seal 200 containers per minute.
