The band on this lid is compounded in the colour before it is moulded, so an orange, red or blue ring reads the same at the pot mouth as on a colour card. Under it sits a 4.0 mm tempered glass disc, clear enough to watch a sauce reduce.
What is a silicone glass lid in a custom colour?
A silicone glass lid in a custom colour is a 4.0 mm tempered glass cover with a band moulded in a shade matched to your cookware range, rated from -40°C to +230°C. The band forms the visible ring at the pot mouth and is the only part that touches the pot, so the colour carries the look of the whole lid. The orange sample on this page is one option, not a fixed specification.
Which colours can the rim be matched to?
Four colours ship from stock — orange, red, blue and black — and any Pantone reference is matched at 2,000 pcs. Because pigment is mixed into the silicone before moulding, the band holds one tone through its full thickness, so a scuff does not open a pale line.
How is a Pantone match held across repeat orders?
Each Pantone reference is pressed as a physical chip at 2,000 pcs and kept with the band mould, so the second order is checked against a sample instead of a screen value. The pigment batch is written on the job card and reused on a repeat run.
Drift shows up fastest on a light band, so every lot is laid against the retained chip in daylight before packing.

Does the colour hold through washing and heat?
The band is rated to 230°C and the pigment sits inside the silicone, so heat from a simmering pot and repeated dishwasher cycles do not lift the colour the way a painted edge would.
Grease wipes off the non-polar surface, and the glass cleans without working at the band. A lid that runs daily still reads as the original shade after months of washing.
- Wipe the band with warm water and a soft cloth.
- Leave the lid to air dry so no cloth pushes into the seating lip.
- Run a full dishwasher cycle without removing the band.
- Keep the glass off direct flame and the grill, where the band would pass 230°C.
How is a coloured lid moulded and checked?
Colour is weighed into the silicone batch before moulding, and every lot is checked against the retained chip across 20+ presses running at a combined 70,000 pcs/day.
- Weigh the pigment into the silicone batch and record the ratio.
- Press a colour chip and approve it against the Pantone reference.
- Cut and edge the 4.0 mm tempered glass to the diameter.
- Mould the band and seat it on the glass edge.
- Check colour, seat and vent, then pack against EN 12983-1:2023.
Frequently asked questions
Four questions come up before a 2,000 pcs coloured band run is released.
Can the band match a colour from an existing cookware range?
A band is matched to any Pantone reference at 2,000 pcs, and the chip is kept with the mould so the next run starts from a sample rather than a description. Send the reference with the pot drawing and the pair is quoted together.
Will the orange band look the same on a second order?
Second orders run from the same 4.0 mm glass and the same band mould, and each lot is laid against the chip kept from the first run.
Is the lid safe in the oven?
Glass and band are rated from -40°C to +230°C, which covers a low to medium oven and normal hob use. Leave the lid off the grill and out of direct flame, where the band would see heat above 230°C.
What are the order terms?
MOQ is 2,000 pcs, and a full 20GP container quantity ships in 20–25 days after the colour chip and sample are approved. The chip is retained for repeats.
Key takeaways
