APS Buying Guide

APS ranges and what they cover

  • THE GRID: the largest APS family, mostly porcelain tableware, with stainless steel, lacquered and glass pieces in the same style.
  • Bowls: Nero, Frida, Pure, Friendly, Stone Art, Crocker, Frostfire, Lineo and Floryn bowls in a wide spread of diameters.
  • VALO and Superbox: VALO wooden boxes, two tier and three tier wooden trays, GN buffet inserts and glass beverage dispensers, plus Superbox acacia buffet crates in GN 1/1 and GN 1/2.
  • Baskets, platters and trays: Svart baskets, Frames and Loops platters, Float and Arumi melamine trays in GN sizes, and Takashi glass sushi boards.
  • Table service: cake stands and covers, butter dish cloches, cruets, salt and pepper shakers, teapots, bottle coolers and wine and champagne buckets.

How to choose

  • Gastronorm fit: many APS trays and boxes are listed by GN size, from 1/9 up to 1/1, so they sit in standard buffet counters and chilled wells.
  • Material: melamine is the most common material, with stainless steel, SAN, acacia wood, polypropylene, polycarbonate, glass, slate and poly rattan pieces too.
  • Matching sets: families such as Nero, Frida, Pure and THE GRID come in several shapes and sizes, so bowls, plates and trays can match across a display.
  • Display height: tiered trays, crates and risers add levels to a buffet, so plan the layout before you choose quantities.

Check before you buy

  • Size: bowls are listed by diameter in mm and often by volume, and trays by GN size or length. Check them against your counter or display unit.
  • Care: many APS pieces are listed as dishwasher safe and stackable, but not all. Fewer are microwave safe or oven proof, so check each product page.
  • Pack size: most items are sold singly, with some in packs of 2, 6, 8, 10 or 12. The pack size is in the product title.

Frequently asked questions

We stock APS buffet display products including display bowls, melamine and buffet trays, wooden boxes, crates and tiered trays, display baskets, cake stands and beverage dispensers. The APS range also covers glassware, cloches, cruets, teapots, bottle coolers and wine buckets, so a whole buffet or breakfast service can come from one brand.

Which APS ranges are the most popular?

By number of products, THE GRID is the largest APS family, followed by VALO, Nero, Frida and Pure. Other APS ranges include Friendly, Stone Art, Crocker, Frostfire, Float, Frames, Loops, Floryn, Arumi, Superbox, Svart and Takashi. Each APS range is named at the start of the product title.

Do APS trays fit gastronorm buffet counters?

Many APS trays, boxes and crates are listed by gastronorm size, from GN 1/9 up to GN 1/1, including 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 2/4. That lets APS pieces sit in standard buffet counters and chilled wells. Check the GN size and dimensions on each APS product page against your unit.

Is APS melamine dishwasher safe?

Most APS products with care details are listed as dishwasher safe, and nearly all are listed as stackable. Microwave and oven use varies, and fewer APS items are listed as microwave safe or oven proof, so check the care details on each APS product page before you order, especially for hot food service.

What materials are APS products made from?

Melamine is the most common material in the APS range, followed by stainless steel. APS also lists SAN, acacia wood, polypropylene, polycarbonate, glass, slate, concrete look and poly rattan pieces. Choosing a material that suits your display style and how often items are handled helps APS pieces last.
