Expert Review and Insights
You can’t underestimate the power of good, simple storage. This Vogue crate is a true kitchen workhorse. It’s not flashy, but it performs its core function brilliantly. The perforations are the star of the show, making it superb for washing veg directly in the crate or for letting steam escape from cooling bread. It's a solid, no-nonsense investment for any kitchen that values organisation.

- Top-Notch Airflow: The perforated design is genuinely brilliant for fresh produce and cooling tasks.
- Not for Small Grains: The holes mean it’s unsuitable for storing fine powders or grains.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli, a popular sandwich shop in Cardiff, was struggling with cluttered refrigeration and inefficient vegetable prep. They upgraded from mismatched containers to a set of these Vogue storage crates to standardise their process.
"It seems like such a small change, but it's made our morning prep so much smoother. We wash and store all our salad ingredients in these crates. They drain perfectly and stack neatly in the fridge, so everything is easy to find and stays crisp. It's made the whole back-of-house feel more professional."
Michael Edwards – Owner
The deli now gets its daily vegetable prep done 15% faster and has reported a noticeable reduction in spoiled salad leaves.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the crate a quick wash with warm, soapy water.
- If you have existing crates, check that it stacks securely on top of them.
- Consider using a waterproof marker or sticker to label the crate for easy stock identification.
- Ensure it fits comfortably on your shelving or in your fridge with enough room for air to circulate.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the crate regularly, especially between different types of food, to prevent cross-contamination.
- The crate is safe for commercial dishwashers, making deep cleaning simple.
- Avoid leaving it next to extreme heat sources like ovens or grills to prevent the plastic from warping.
- Periodically check for any cracks or sharp edges to ensure it remains safe to handle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Vogue perforated plastic storage crate food safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's manufactured from food-grade polypropylene, making it perfectly safe for direct contact with all types of ingredients.
Q: Can I put this crate in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, it is designed to be dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
Q: Are these crates suitable for use in a walk-in freezer?
A: They certainly are. The high-density plastic is durable enough to withstand the low temperatures of commercial freezers without becoming brittle.
Q: What are the internal dimensions of the crate?
A: The internal dimensions are slightly smaller due to the thickness of the plastic, typically around 565(L) x 365(W) x 115(H) mm.
Q: Do these stack with crates from other brands?
A: As they are a standard Euro size (600x400mm), they often stack with other brands of the same footprint. However, for the most secure and stable stack, we recommend using crates of the same model.
Q: Is the plastic rigid or flexible?
A: The plastic is very rigid and strong. It's designed to hold significant weight without bending or buckling.
Q: What is the main benefit of the perforations?
A: The holes allow for excellent air circulation to keep produce fresh, and they provide drainage for washing items directly in the crate.
Q: How much does an empty crate weigh?
A: It's very lightweight at just 1.67kg, making it easy for any member of staff to handle.

Ever wondered why some crates have holes and others don't? It's all about airflow and drainage, and it's a simple feature that makes a huge difference. Think of this crate as a storage box and a colander rolled into one. When you're washing a big batch of salad leaves or potatoes, you can do it right in the crate. The water drains away immediately through the perforations, so your ingredients aren't left sitting in a puddle, which can lead to them getting soggy and spoiling faster.
In storage, those same holes allow cool air in your fridge or pantry to circulate freely around the contents. This is like giving your fresh produce room to breathe. It prevents moisture from getting trapped, which is a major cause of mould on bread and vegetables going soft. By using a perforated crate, you're actively extending the shelf life of your ingredients, which means less waste and better value for your business.
