- Con: Remember the lid isn't microwave-safe, requiring an extra step to cover.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Northern Deli" in Leeds was struggling with inefficient fridge space and food waste from poorly sealed, mismatched containers. They needed a uniform, reliable solution for their range of fresh salads, sandwich fillings, and homemade chutneys.
"The moment we switched to the Sistema Klip It containers, our kitchen felt more professional. They stack perfectly, the seals are fantastic, and we can see exactly what's inside at a glance. It's cut down our prep time and our fridges have never been so organised."
Michael Edwards – Owner
After implementing the Sistema containers across their prep line, the deli reduced its daily ingredient spoilage by over 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give your new container a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- To ensure a perfect seal, press the lid down firmly before closing the four clips on each side.
- The clips make a reassuring 'click' sound, so you know it's securely fastened.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and longevity, always place the container 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 scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the plastic.
- To prevent staining, rinse immediately after storing strongly coloured foods like tomato or curry sauces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Sistema Klip It Plus 1L food storage container completely leak-proof?
A: Yes, when the lid is sealed correctly with all four clips engaged, the flexible inner seal creates a completely leak-proof barrier, perfect for soups, sauces, and dressings.
Q: Can I freeze liquids like stock or soup in it?
A: Absolutely. It's freezer-safe. Just remember to leave a little space at the top (about an inch) to allow for expansion as the liquid freezes.
Q: What exactly does BPA-free mean?
A: It means the plastic is made without Bisphenol-A, an industrial chemical. Choosing BPA-free products gives you peace of mind that you're storing food in a safe, non-toxic material.
Q: Will the plastic stain if I store something like a Bolognese sauce?
A: While the plastic is high quality, strong pigments in foods like tomato, turmeric, or beetroot can cause slight discolouration over time. Rinsing the container immediately after use helps minimise this.
Q: Can these containers be stacked on top of each other when full?
A: Yes, they are designed to be modular and stack securely, which is a massive help for keeping your fridges, freezers, and pantries organised.
Q: Is the base safe to use in the microwave?
A: Yes, the base is microwave safe for reheating food. Just make sure to remove the lid first, or place it on top loosely without the clips being locked.
Q: Can I put both the lid and base in the dishwasher?
A: Yes, the entire container is safe for the dishwasher, but it must be placed on the top rack only to prevent heat damage.
Q: How robust are the locking clips?
A: The Klip It Plus clips are famously robust and designed for repeated use in a busy environment. They provide a firm, secure lock time after time.
The Sistema Standard: Built for Kitchen Efficiency
When you choose a Sistema product, you're investing in more than just a container; you're investing in a smarter way of working. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the brand has built a global reputation on durability, innovation, and a deep understanding of what food professionals need. This isn't a disposable product destined for the bin after a few uses. The robust construction means fewer replacements, saving you money in the long run. The real value lies in the day-to-day reliability. Knowing your ingredients are safe from spills and spoilage provides peace of mind and supports food safety compliance. A well-organised kitchen using a consistent, stackable system like the Klip It Plus range is a more efficient kitchen, saving precious time during a busy service and reducing the daily stress of searching for ingredients.

Ever wondered what makes the 'Klip It' seal so effective? It’s not just the four chunky clips you see on the outside. Inside the lid, there’s a flexible, continuous seal, a bit like the gasket on a fridge door. When you press the clips down, they apply even pressure all the way around, compressing this seal to create a perfectly airtight and leak-proof barrier. Think of it like a submarine hatch – it's designed to keep what's inside, in, and what's outside, out. For you, that means air, moisture, and contaminants are locked out, while flavour and freshness are locked in, reducing waste and protecting the quality of your food.
