Expert Review and Insights
It's not the most glamorous bit of kit, but a great storage box is one of a kitchen's unsung heroes. The Wham FW890 is a proper workhorse; the plastic is reassuringly tough, not brittle like cheaper domestic options, and being able to see the contents clearly is a genuine time-saver during service. It’s the kind of simple, effective equipment that makes a real difference to daily workflow.

- Pro: The lid fits snugly, offering excellent protection against moisture and pests.
- Con: Lacks integrated handles, which can make lifting it when completely full a bit tricky.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour Lights Bakery in Whitby needed a more professional way to manage its dry goods. The team was constantly dealing with torn flour sacks and disorganised shelving, leading to waste and slow stock-takes.
"These boxes are brilliant. We can see exactly what we have at a glance, and they stack perfectly, giving us back valuable floor space. No more wasted ingredients from split bags or pests getting in. They've made our stockroom so much more professional."
Robert Finch – Owner & Head Baker
The bakery significantly reduced ingredient spoilage and estimates its stock-taking process is now 40% faster.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the box a quick check to ensure it wasn't damaged in transit.
- Before its first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Ensure the box and lid are completely dry before you store any dry goods inside to prevent moisture build-up.
- Pop a label on the outside for even faster identification – a great tip for busy stockrooms!
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down regularly with a food-safe cleaner or sanitiser to maintain hygiene standards.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive pads or scourers, as they can scratch the clear surface.
- Periodically check that the lid still clicks on securely all the way around.
- Try not to overfill the box, as this can put unnecessary strain on the sides and the lid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this storage box food safe?
A: Yes, the polypropylene material is certified as food-safe, making it perfect for storing dry food ingredients in a commercial kitchen.
Q: Is the lid included with the box?
A: Absolutely. This Wham FW890 storage box comes complete with its own matching click-on lid for a secure fit.

A: Yes, they are designed with a reinforced rim and base to allow for safe and stable stacking, helping you maximise storage space.

The Wham Advantage: Organisation That Lasts
When you choose a Wham storage box, you're not just buying a plastic container; you're investing in long-term operational efficiency. This is not a flimsy domestic product being sold for commercial use. It’s built from the ground up with the daily knocks and scrapes of a professional environment in mind. The robust, flexible polypropylene used in the Wham FW890 storage box means fewer cracks, splits, and replacements over time, saving your business money and hassle. It delivers consistency you can rely on – the lids always fit snugly, they stack without wobbling, and they provide a dependable barrier against pests and moisture. This unwavering focus on simple, effective, and durable design is what has made Wham a trusted name in professional storage. It’s the kind of essential background equipment that quietly works, day in and day out, to make your kitchen safer, tidier, and more profitable.
Why a Polypropylene Box is a Smarter Choice
Ever wondered what makes a 'commercial' plastic box different from a standard one? It often comes down to the material, and this one is made from Polypropylene. Think of it like the difference between a cheap, brittle carrier bag that splits easily and a sturdy, flexible 'bag for life'. This plastic storage container with lid 45L is made from that tougher, more resilient material. It won’t crack or shatter if you accidentally knock it against a stainless steel counter. More importantly, it’s non-porous, which means it won’t absorb odours, colours, or moisture from food. This makes it far more hygienic, easier to clean, and longer-lasting than a basic container, saving you money in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant & Cafe Kitchens: An ideal way to organise dry ingredients like flour, pasta, or sugar, keeping stock fresh and visible.
- Event Caterers: A durable, stackable solution for transporting non-food supplies, linens, or cleaning products to and from venues safely.
- School & Canteen Stockrooms: Keep bulk supplies tidy, from canned goods to cleaning materials, in a secure, easy-to-identify container.
- Bakeries & Pâtisseries: A brilliant heavy duty food storage container for holding large bags of flour or specialty ingredients.
