Where to buy a small plastic lid?

May 1, 2019 4:39 PM

I have a bunch of yogurt pots, not many lids to go with them. I'd like to get more.

My mom and my sister love Kalypso yogurt. It comes in little terracotta pots, which we don't really want to throw away. We end up using them for a bunch of stuff, cupcakes, flower pots, ect. But we can't use them for storage because we don't have very many lids. They used to come with snap on plastic lids, but now just have foil glued to the rim.

I'd like to get some more lids, but can't seem to find any.

I tried contacting Kalypso, but they don't answer.

The cups are 81.5mm (3.25 inches) across. I've found 80 mm lids, but they don't fit.

Not sure if this will help, but I know there is like waxed canvas re-useable 'cling film' substitute. That and a gum (rubber) band?
Perhaps not as stackable as yr hoping but maybe also a cardboard circle/square on top could help.

There are also silicone covers that stretch over cans and similar containers.

Maybe your local library and/or Makerspace has a 3d printer? - then you need to get some foodsafe filament.

Then you need to design and test a lid or two... alot of work - each one will probably take hours to make.

Glad Press n Seal is excellent. It makes an airtight seal that doesn't tear or remove itself and re-sticks if you open it.

Response by poster: Resolved.

Kalypso got back to me, they sell lids!
