Product Overview
Here’s a brilliant bit of kit for getting your kitchen in order. The Hygiplas 2/3 GN polypropylene food storage container with lid set is a straightforward, no-nonsense solution to food storage chaos. Sold in a handy pack of four, these containers are designed for the daily rough and tumble of a professional kitchen, helping you store ingredients safely, efficiently, and with total clarity.

The clear body means you can see what’s inside at a glance, saving precious time during a busy service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in York was struggling with a jumble of mismatched containers, leading to food waste and a disorganised prep station. They invested in several packs of the Hygiplas GN Container Sets to standardise their entire cold storage system.
"It’s such a simple change but the impact has been huge. Our fridges are tidier, the team knows exactly where everything is, and the colour-coding gives me real peace of mind. No more guessing what’s in each box!"
Robert Davies – Owner, The Corner Deli
The switch resulted in a 20% reduction in prep-related food waste and significantly faster ticket times during the lunchtime rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the containers and lids a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
- Decide on your colour-coding system based on HACCP standards (e.g., red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salad/fruit).
- Simply snap the appropriate coloured clip onto the edge of both the container and the corresponding lid.
- You're ready to go! Start organising your ingredients for a safer, more efficient kitchen.
Keeping It Going
- Always clean the containers thoroughly between uses, especially when changing food types.
- While stain-resistant, avoid leaving highly pigmented foods like tomato sauce or turmeric in them for extended periods.
- Stack them neatly when not in use to save space, placing lids on top or storing them separately.
- Periodically check the clips and lids for any signs of wear and tear to ensure they remain airtight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the lids included with these containers?
A: Yes, this is a complete set. Each pack includes four containers, four matching airtight lids, and four sets of the seven coloured clips.
Q: What does '2/3 GN' actually mean?
A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, the European standard size for kitchen containers. A 2/3 GN container has a footprint of 354x325mm, making it a versatile, medium-sized option.
Q: Are these containers stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed to stack securely with their lids on, which is fantastic for saving space in crowded fridges and storage areas.
Q: Can I put these in the microwave?
A: No, these polypropylene containers are not rated for microwave use. They are designed for storage in fridges, freezers, and ambient environments.
Q: What are the coloured clips for?
A: They are for implementing a HACCP food safety system. You assign a colour to a food type (e.g., red for raw meat) to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: How deep are these containers?
A: These specific containers are 200mm deep, providing a generous 16.1-litre capacity for bulk storage.
Q: Is the plastic BPA-free?
A: Yes, our Hygiplas polypropylene food storage containers are BPA-free and perfectly safe for commercial food storage.
Q: Will they stain if I store things like bolognese sauce?
A: They are highly stain-resistant. For best results, it's always a good idea to wash them soon after use with strong-coloured foods.
The Hygiplas Promise: Smarter, Safer Food Storage
Choosing Hygiplas isn't just about buying a plastic box; it's an investment in a smarter, safer, and more efficient kitchen workflow. For years, Hygiplas has been a trusted name in UK catering, known for creating products that solve real-world problems without unnecessary frills. This commercial gastro container 16.1 litre set is a perfect example. Its value extends far beyond its technical specs. By making HACCP compliance incredibly simple, it reduces the mental load on your team, minimises the risk of costly safety breaches, and demonstrates a clear commitment to professionalism during inspections. The durability of the polypropylene means you're not replacing cracked or warped containers every few months, saving money in the long run. This isn't just storage; it's a system that brings order, safety, and reliability to the very heart of your operation, day in and day out.
Explore more from HygiplasHow Colour-Coding Clips Prevent Costly Mistakes
Ever wondered what the little coloured clips are really for? They're the heart of the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) system, a legal requirement for food safety. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. By assigning a colour to a specific food group—say, red for raw meat and green for fresh vegetables—you create an instant, visual cue that helps prevent dangerous bacteria from spreading from one food type to another.
It’s a simple but powerful idea. Using a red-clipped container exclusively for raw meat means you’d never accidentally use it for a ready-to-eat salad, drastically reducing the risk of food poisoning. This polypropylene gastronorm container with clips system turns a complex safety rule into a simple, everyday habit, protecting your customers and your business's reputation.
