Glass lids are the most fragile component of your cookware line. We help global brands source impact-resistant, high-transparency tempered glass lids. We manage the risks of breakage, rim corrosion, and poor fit, ensuring your products arrive intact and safe for the consumer.
Why You Need Oversight for Glass Lid Sourcing
In the tempered glass industry, cutting corners leads to safety hazards. B2B importers often face these specific quality issues:
- Spontaneous Breakage: Poor tempering processes leave internal stress in the glass, causing lids to shatter unexpectedly in the warehouse or kitchen.
- Rusting Rims: Factories using cheap 201 or 410 stainless steel instead of the requested 304 grade, leading to rust spots after dishwasher use.
- Poor Seal: Warped rims that don’t sit flat on the pan, allowing steam and flavor to escape.
HSY Sourcing acts as your safety barrier. We audit the tempering furnaces and verify raw material grades before mass production begins.
Glass Lid Solutions We Manage
We source from specialized glass processors in Guangdong and Hebei, covering all major specifications:
- Standard SS Rim Lids: G-Type (Cut edge), C-Type (Wide rim), and T-Type (Stepped rim) profiles.
- Silicone Rim Lids: Multi-fit designs (e.g., one lid fits 24/26/28cm pans) with LFGB/FDA silicone.
- Special Shapes: Square, oval, and rectangular lids for roasters and grill pans.
- Design Features: High-dome profiles, steam vent customization, and strainer-lid designs
Our Safety Testing & QC Protocol
We treat glass lids as a safety-critical component. Our inspection includes:
- Fragmentation Test: The most critical safety check. We break sample lids to ensure they shatter into blunt, granular chunks (not sharp shards), meeting EN 12150 or CSPC standards.
- Thermal Shock Test: We heat the lid to 200°C and immediately submerge it in cold water to ensure it won’t crack during cooking temperature changes.
- Flatness Check: We place the lid on a calibrated flat surface to check for gaps using a feeler gauge (Tolerance < 0.5mm).
- Ball Drop Test: Simulating kitchen accidents to verify impact resistance.

We manage the delicate balance of tempering quality, rim finishing, and safe packaging. We simplify your procurement, giving you clearer control over component costs and reducing breakage rates during shipping.
FAQ
Q: Can you perform logo printing on the glass?
A: Yes. We can arrange for silk-screen printing of your logo directly on the glass surface or laser etching on the stainless steel rim.
Q: How do you prevent breakage during shipping?
A: We supervise the packaging process strictly. We recommend and verify the use of master cartons with dividers, bubble bags, or specialized “egg-crate” layering to pass the ISTA drop test.
Q: Do you source the knobs as well?
A: Absolutely. We can source the glass lids pre-assembled with your chosen knobs, or ship them separately (KD) to save shipping volume.
