Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Courtyard Deli," a popular delicatessen in Chester, was looking to replace its mismatched plastic and wicker display baskets to create a more cohesive, upmarket look for its artisan cheese and chutney counter.
"These acacia crates completely transformed our front counter. Customers constantly comment on how lovely they look, and they make our homemade pies and packaged goods really stand out. They feel so much more premium and in keeping with our brand."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Courtyard Deli
Since implementing the new wooden food storage boxes, the deli has reported a significant increase in impulse buys from the counter display.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and wipe with a soft, dry cloth before first use to remove any dust.
- Place on a flat, stable surface like a countertop, shelf, or buffet station.
- Avoid placing in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent the wood from fading or drying out.
- Consider using liners like greaseproof paper for pastries to protect the wood and make cleaning even easier.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never soak it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
- Dry immediately and thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots.
- To keep it looking rich and new, occasionally wipe it with a food-safe mineral oil.
- Remember, it's designed for dry goods. Don't use it to display wet or very greasy foods directly on the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the acacia wood sustainably sourced?
A: Olympia is committed to responsible sourcing, and acacia is known for being a fast-growing and sustainable hardwood.
Q: Can I stack these boxes on top of each other?
A: These boxes have straight sides and are not designed to lock together for secure stacking. They work best when placed next to each other on a flat surface.
Q: Can I put unwrapped bread or pastries in it?
A: Absolutely! It's perfect for unwrapped dry goods like bread, croissants, and fruit. Using a paper liner can make cleanup even simpler.
Q: How heavy is the box on its own?
A: The box itself is very light, weighing just 0.66kg, which makes it easy to move for cleaning or rearranging your display.
Q: Will the colour of the wood be identical on every box?
A: No, and that's part of its charm! As acacia is a natural material, you can expect beautiful, subtle variations in the grain and colour from one box to another.
Q: Is it safe for direct food contact?
A: Yes, the wood is suitable for direct contact with dry foodstuffs. Just avoid direct contact with anything wet or particularly oily.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed. Never submerge it in water or place it in a dishwasher.
Q: What are the internal dimensions?
A: The internal dimensions will be slightly smaller than the external 356x255x120mm measurements, due to the thickness of the solid wood walls.
The Olympia Promise: Style Meets Durability
When you choose an Olympia product, you're investing in more than just an item; you're buying into a reputation for quality that's trusted by thousands of UK hospitality businesses. This Olympia DP882 storage box is a perfect example. Beyond its beautiful acacia grain and practical size, it represents a smart choice for long-term value. Unlike cheaper alternatives, the solid hardwood construction is designed to withstand the daily knocks of a commercial setting, resisting chips and wear far better than softwood or plastic. This means fewer replacements and a consistently professional look for your customers. It’s a small detail that communicates care and quality, elevating your presentation and reinforcing your brand's commitment to a high-quality, authentic experience.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy Acacia Wood Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what makes acacia wood so special for catering displays? It's not just about the lovely grain. Acacia is a dense, durable hardwood, which means this wooden food storage box is surprisingly tough and resistant to the knocks and scrapes you'd expect in a busy shop. Think of it like the difference between a standard pine shelf and solid oak furniture; it’s built to last. Furthermore, its natural oils give it some resistance to moisture (though you should still avoid wet foods!), and each box has a completely unique grain pattern. So, you're not just getting a simple container; you're getting a one-of-a-kind piece that adds character and an authentic, earthy feel to your food presentation.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Cafés & Bakeries: Perfect for beautifully displaying fresh pastries, bread, and cakes right on the counter.
- Farm Shops & Delicatessens: An ideal way to present local produce or gourmet packaged goods with authentic rustic charm.
- Hotel Breakfast Buffets: Use several to create an organised, high-end display for fruits, yoghurts, and pastries.
- Restaurants & Bistros: Great for holding bread rolls on a service station or as part of a feature display.
