In a pro kitchen, the small things make the biggest difference, and reliable storage is non-negotiable. The Sistema Klip-It isn't flashy, but it’s a true workhorse.

- Practical Strength: The clips feel solid and provide a reassuring 'click' every time.
- Lid Limitation: Just remember the lid isn't microwave-safe, which is a small but crucial detail.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro in Canterbury was struggling with fridge organisation and losing money on small batches of high-cost ingredients like saffron and truffle oil spoiling in poorly sealed tubs.
"It was chaos. We were wasting time searching for things and literally throwing money in the bin. The Klip-It containers sealed that problem shut. Everything is organised, easy to see, and stays fresh for so much longer."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The bistro successfully reduced its weekly spoilage of delicate ingredients by over 20% and significantly sped up its prep-time.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the container and lid in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Check the blue silicone seal is properly seated inside the lid groove for a perfect seal.
- When closing, press down firmly in the middle before locking the four clips for an airtight fit.
Keeping It Going
- To ensure a long life, always place the container and lid on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Remember to never place the lid in the microwave, as it can warp and compromise the seal.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the plastic and make it cloudy.
- Regularly remove and clean the silicone seal to prevent any build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers genuinely 100% leak-proof?
A: Yes, they are. When the four clips are securely fastened, the flexible silicone seal creates a perfect barrier that makes them fully leak-proof for liquids and sauces.
Q: Can I stack these when they're full?
A: Absolutely. The Klip-It design features indented lids and a sturdy base, making them very stable when stacked on top of each other, saving valuable fridge or shelf space.
Q: What does 'BPA-free' actually mean for my business?
A: It means the plastic is made without the chemical Bisphenol A. This is a food safety standard that ensures no potentially harmful substances can transfer from the container into your food.
Q: Is the entire container microwave safe?
A: No, and this is important: only the clear base is microwave safe. You must remove the lid before heating food to prevent it from warping and to allow steam to escape.
Q: How robust are the blue locking clips? Will they break?
A: They are engineered for frequent, long-term use in commercial settings. The hinges are strong and provide a secure lock time and time again without becoming weak.
Q: Can I use them to store things in the freezer?
A: Yes, these containers are completely freezer safe, which makes them brilliant for batch-prepping ingredients or storing frozen items without risk of the plastic cracking.
Q: Will they stain easily with foods like curry or tomato sauce?
A: While the high-quality plastic is quite resistant, very strong-coloured foods may cause light staining over a long period. Rinsing the container immediately after use can help prevent this.
Q: What is the best way to clean them to ensure they last?
A: They can be washed on the top rack of a commercial dishwasher or simply by hand with regular washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.

The term 'airtight' gets thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean for your kitchen? Think of it like a personal bodyguard for your ingredients. Air is the number one enemy of freshness—it carries moisture, bacteria, and causes food to oxidise and spoil. The Klip-It's silicone seal and four locking clips create a barrier that locks air out and flavour in. It’s like hitting the pause button on the ageing process for your food. This means that expensive portion of pesto or delicate micro-herbs you prepared yesterday will still be vibrant and ready to use today, saving you money that would otherwise end up in the bin.
