Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Bristol was struggling to manage its wide range of fresh ingredients and keep on top of allergen separation during the hectic lunch rush. They needed a more visual, reliable system than sticky labels and guesswork.
"The click-on colour clips are so simple but so effective. My team knows exactly what's what, and our prep station is tidier than ever. It's cut down on waste and mistakes, which is brilliant for our bottom line."
Mark Jennings – Owner, The Corner Deli
After implementing the Hygiplas trays, the deli reduced its daily prep time by 20 minutes and completely eliminated cross-contamination errors.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the trays, lids, and clips a good wash in warm, soapy water.
- Create a simple colour-coding chart for your kitchen staff to follow.
- Firmly click the correct coloured clip onto the side of both the container and its matching lid.
- The modular design means they stack perfectly to save space in fridges and on shelves.
Keeping It Going
- For a fast and hygienic clean, simply pop them in a commercial dishwasher.
- To avoid scratching, don't use abrasive scourers or harsh metal utensils inside them.
- Ensure trays and lids are completely dry before stacking them away to prevent mildew.
- Do a quick check now and then to make sure clips haven't gone astray during washing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these trays and lids airtight?
A: Yes, they are designed with tight-fitting lids to seal in freshness, prevent contamination, and avoid messy spills in your fridge.
Q: What are the coloured clips for?
A: They are part of a HACCP system to help you visually separate food types, for example, using red for raw meat and green for salad, to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: Can I put these in the oven or microwave?
A: No, polypropylene is not safe for high-heat cooking. These are designed for storage in temperatures from -40°C to 70°C.
Q: Are they suitable for freezing?
A: Absolutely. They can handle temperatures right down to -40°C, making them perfect for batch cooking and freezer storage.
Q: Do I get lids and clips with the trays?
A: Yes, this is a complete set. You get four 1/2 GN trays, four matching airtight lids, and four full sets of the seven coloured clips.
Q: Will they stain easily with things like curry or tomato sauce?
A: The polypropylene material is highly stain-resistant. For best results, we recommend washing them promptly after use with strongly coloured foods.
Q: What does 'GN 1/2' actually mean?
A: It refers to a standard 'Gastronorm' size. A GN 1/2 container measures 325mm x 265mm, making it half the size of a standard GN 1/1 tray.
Q: Can I stack them on top of each other when they're full?
A: Yes, the lids are designed to be sturdy and flat, allowing for secure stacking to help you maximise your valuable vertical storage space.

Explore more from HygiplasHow HACCP Colour Clips Simplify Kitchen Safety
You'll often hear the term 'HACCP' in professional kitchens, but what does it actually mean for you? In short, it’s a legal requirement for managing food safety, and these clips make it incredibly simple. The seven different colours allow you to assign a specific colour to a food group – for example, red for raw meat, green for vegetables, blue for raw fish, and so on.
Think of it like having dedicated, colour-coded lanes on a motorway for different types of traffic. This simple visual cue instantly tells any member of your team what the container is used for, dramatically reducing the risk of dangerous cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods, or between regular ingredients and allergens. It turns a complex food safety rule into a simple, visual habit that protects your customers and your reputation.
