Product Overview
Getting your kitchen organised is one of the quickest ways to a smoother, safer service. This complete gastronorm container set 2/3 12L from Hygiplas is your new best mate for food prep and storage. You get four robust 12-litre containers, four airtight lids, and a full set of HACCP colour-coded clips, giving you everything you need to get started right out of the box. It’s a straightforward, professional solution for busy kitchens that take food safety seriously.
Crafted from durable, stain-resistant polypropylene, these containers are built for the hustle and bustle of a commercial environment. They're designed to handle everything from freezing bulk ingredients down to -40°C to holding prepped items in the fridge. The clear body means you can see what’s inside at a glance, while the airtight lids lock in freshness, reduce waste, and prevent any unwanted cross-contamination in your walk-in or prep station.
Perfect for restaurants, delis, caterers, and canteens, this set isn't just about storage; it's about systemising your kitchen. The simple clip-on colour system makes it incredibly easy for your whole team to follow food safety protocols, separating raw meat from cooked, or allergens from other ingredients. Stop juggling mismatched tubs and lids and give your kitchen the organised, compliant foundation it deserves.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salford Quays Kitchen', a busy corporate caterer in Greater Manchester, was struggling with an assortment of old, mismatched containers that were slowing down their prep line and making HACCP checks a headache.
"We were wasting so much time just looking for the right ingredients and matching lids. The Hygiplas sets changed all that. Now, everything has a place, it's colour-coded, and the team can work faster and more safely. It’s made our kitchen flow so much better."
Robert Finch – Head of Operations
After implementing the system, Salford Quays Kitchen reported a 95% reduction in cross-contamination risks during internal audits and a noticeable improvement in staff efficiency.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash containers, lids, and clips thoroughly in warm, soapy water before the first use.
- Assign your clip colours based on your kitchen's HACCP plan (e.g., red for raw meat, green for veg).
- The clips are designed to snap securely onto the rim of the container for clear identification.
- Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly on all sides to create an airtight seal.
Keeping It Going
- These containers are fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- To avoid scratching, use non-abrasive cloths or sponges when washing by hand.
- While stain-resistant, rinse after storing potent ingredients like tomato or curry sauce to maintain clarity.
- Regularly check the lids and container rims for any damage that could compromise the airtight seal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers and lids dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. Both the polypropylene containers and their lids are designed to be safely cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.
Q: What is the purpose of the seven different coloured clips?
A: The clips are for HACCP food safety management. Each colour can be assigned to a different food type (e.g., red for raw meat, green for vegetables) to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: Can I use this 12 litre gastronorm storage container in the freezer?
A: Yes, they have a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, making them perfectly safe for use in both fridges and freezers.
Q: What does '2/3 GN size' actually mean?
A: It refers to the standard Gastronorm sizing system. A 2/3 container measures 354x325mm, making it two-thirds the width of a full 1/1 GN container.
Q: Are the lids genuinely airtight?
A: Yes, the lids are designed to create a secure, airtight seal, which is ideal for locking in freshness and preventing spills during transport or storage.
Q: Will they get stained by foods like bolognese or curry?
A: They are designed to be stain-resistant. For best results, we recommend rinsing them soon after use before washing, especially after contact with high-pigment ingredients.
Q: Are these containers stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed to stack neatly to save valuable space in your storage areas, fridges, and freezers.
Q: What is polypropylene and is it safe for food?
A: Polypropylene is a robust, food-safe plastic that is BPA-free and widely used for high-quality food containers due to its durability and resistance to chemicals and fatigue.

Ever wondered what the little coloured clips are really for? They are the key to implementing a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) system effortlessly. Think of it like a traffic light system for your food. HACCP is the professional standard for preventing food contamination, and these clips make it visual and intuitive. By assigning a colour to a food group—for example, red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salads and fruit—you create an instant, easy-to-understand barrier against dangerous cross-contamination. Any staff member, from a seasoned chef to a new kitchen porter, can see at a glance which container is for which food type, drastically reducing the risk of mistakes that could lead to illness or a failed inspection. It’s a simple feature that delivers a huge safety benefit.
