Hygiplas Cutting Boards and Racks

This Hygiplas set provides everything needed to establish a complete colour-coded chopping board system in a commercial kitchen. It includes six boards in the standard food safety colours, a wall-mounted storage rack, and a colour identification chart — covering the full range of food groups in a single purchase rather than piecing together individual boards over time.

The boards are manufactured from high density polyethylene, a material widely used in professional kitchens for its durability, resistance to warping, and ease of cleaning. The extra thickness adds rigidity under repeated heavy use — useful where boards are in constant circulation through prep and service periods. HDPE also responds well to dishwasher cycles and chemical sanitisers, which matters in kitchens operating strict cleaning schedules.

From an operational standpoint, a complete set like this supports several practical outcomes:

• Clear colour separation reduces the risk of cross-contamination between food groups
• The wall rack keeps boards stored upright and off surfaces, aiding air drying and hygiene
• The printed wall chart helps less experienced staff follow correct colour allocation without prompting
• Buying as a set ensures all six colours are consistent in thickness and material grade
• Suitable for use alongside HACCP documentation as part of a broader food safety framework

At 22kg for the full set, these are substantial boards suited to a permanent prep area rather than a mobile or pop-up kitchen. The rack requires wall fixings and enough clear wall space to store six boards vertically — worth accounting for during kitchen planning or a refit.

This set is well suited to catering operations that need to put a compliant colour-coded system in place quickly and consistently — kitchens cooking across multiple food groups, those with allergen management requirements, or sites preparing for an EHO inspection. For very high-volume sites with multiple prep stations, a second set or additional individual boards may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this set covers your requirements or want to discuss board systems for a specific kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas set provides seven colour-coded chopping boards in a single pack, covering the standard food-type colour system used across commercial catering: purple, brown, green, red, blue, yellow, and white. Each board is made from high density polyethylene — a material well suited to the demands of a working kitchen, offering good resistance to knife scoring and warping over time.

In a busy kitchen environment, colour coding is one of the most straightforward ways to manage allergen and cross-contamination risk. Having a dedicated board for each food category — raw meat, cooked meat, fish, vegetables, dairy, and so on — means kitchen staff can work quickly without stopping to check which board is in use. The anti-slip feet and corner bumpers help keep each board stable on the work surface during use, which is a practical consideration when the pace picks up during service.

From a hygiene and maintenance standpoint, the non-absorbent HDPE surface is straightforward to clean and is dishwasher safe, which helps with end-of-service turnaround. The boards are also stain-resistant, which matters in a kitchen where appearance and cleanliness standards are scrutinised. An embossed ruler on each board (in both inches and centimetres) provides a useful reference for portion-control cutting without reaching for a separate measure.

• Full seven-colour set supports a complete food-type separation system
• HDPE construction resists warping and knife damage under regular use
• Anti-slip feet and corner bumpers provide stability during chopping
• Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
• Stain-resistant surface helps maintain a clean, professional appearance

This set is a practical choice for small to medium kitchens equipping a new section or replacing worn boards across the board. Larger operations running multiple prep stations may want to consider sets in greater quantities to ensure adequate cover across all sections.

If you are unsure how many sets your kitchen needs or whether this size suits your prep volumes, we are happy to talk it through.

This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system in extra large format, comprising six high density polyethylene boards — one in each of the standard colour codes — along with a wall-mounted storage rack and a colour reference chart. It is designed to give a kitchen everything it needs to implement a structured food safety and cross-contamination prevention regime straight out of the box.

High density polyethylene is the material of choice in most professional kitchens for good reason. It is firm enough to withstand heavy daily chopping and slicing, resistant to moisture absorption, and straightforward to clean and sanitise. The extra large board size suits prep work on larger cuts of meat, whole fish, and bulk vegetable preparation — tasks where a standard-sized board becomes a limiting factor during a busy service.

The practical advantages of running a full six-colour system are well understood in commercial kitchen operations:

• Clear visual separation of food groups reduces cross-contamination risk
• Wall rack keeps boards off the worktop and allows air drying between uses
• Colour chart supports staff training and ongoing compliance checks
• HDPE surface is compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles
• Extra large format accommodates bulk prep tasks without repeated repositioning

Because the boards are supplied at a substantial size and weight, it is worth confirming that your existing wall rack position or storage arrangement can accommodate them comfortably. The rack supplied is designed for this set specifically, so integration into an already established board storage system may need consideration.

This set is well suited to kitchens that are setting up a colour-coded system from scratch, or replacing a worn set across the board. Smaller operations working with limited prep space may find a standard or medium format more practical day to day. If you are unsure which board size suits your prep volumes or kitchen layout, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Standard - 12(H) x 450(W) x 300(L)mm Tough, durable and made from high quality polyethylene, these quality colour coded chopping boards are non-absorbent, odourless, non-toxic and comply with all hygiene regulations.

This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board solution for commercial food preparation. It includes six LDPE boards — each in a different colour corresponding to a specific food type — along with a storage rack and a wall chart for staff reference. The system is a straightforward, practical way to implement and maintain food safety separation standards in a working kitchen.

Colour-coded boards are a well-established method for reducing cross-contamination risk, and this set covers the full standard range of food categories used in most professional kitchens. The included wall chart makes it easy to train new staff and keep the system consistent across shifts. The rack keeps boards organised and allows air circulation for drying between uses, which matters in a busy prep area where boards cycle through regularly.

The boards are made from low-density polyethylene, which is a common material choice in catering — firm enough to hold an edge during heavy prep work, but with enough give to reduce knife wear. LDPE is also straightforward to clean and can withstand commercial dishwasher cycles.

• Supports HACCP-compliant food safety separation across six categories
• Wall chart aids staff training and consistent colour-code compliance
• Rack keeps boards stored hygienically and off prep surfaces
• Dishwasher-safe boards suit busy prep environments with high board turnover
• Suitable for use in kitchens of most sizes, from small catering operations to larger brigade-style environments

This set is well suited to kitchens establishing or formalising their food safety procedures, as well as those replacing worn boards and wanting to standardise their system in one purchase. For very high-volume sites running multiple prep areas, it may be worth considering additional sets to cover simultaneous preparation stations.

If you are setting up a new kitchen or reviewing your food safety equipment, our team is happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.

This Hygiplas set provides six colour-coded low-density polyethylene chopping boards, a storage rack, and an A4 wall chart — everything needed to implement a structured colour-coding system in a commercial kitchen preparation area. Each board corresponds to a designated food group, allowing prep teams to separate raw meats, cooked foods, fish, vegetables, dairy, and bakery items without relying on memory or verbal instruction alone.

In busy kitchen environments, cross-contamination control is one of the most consistent food safety challenges. A visible, physical colour system reduces the risk of boards being used interchangeably during service, particularly when multiple staff members are working across the same prep station. The included wall chart reinforces the system and supports onboarding of new team members quickly.

LDPE boards at this thickness are a practical choice for general prep use. They are easier on knife edges than harder materials and straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. The rack keeps boards upright and separate between uses, supporting both hygiene and organised storage in tight prep areas.

• Reduces cross-contamination risk through a clear, physical colour system
• Wall chart supports staff training and compliance documentation
• Rack keeps boards stored hygienically and accessibly between prep sessions
• LDPE surface is kind to knife edges and simple to clean
• A self-contained kit that can be deployed immediately without additional purchases

This set is well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, school catering, and care homes establishing or refreshing their food safety procedures. Higher-volume operations with multiple prep sections may find it more practical to invest in additional boards or a larger rack system to cover separate stations. If you are unsure which setup suits your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.

Board size: 450(L) x 300(W) x 10(H)mm | LDPE Set of 6 Hygiplas low density chopping boards. Rack not supplied.

This six-board set from Hygiplas provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system for commercial food preparation. Each board is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), a material widely used in professional kitchens for its durability, ease of cleaning, and resistance to warping under regular use. The set covers the standard six colour zones used across the catering industry to separate different food types during prep.

In a busy kitchen, the risk of cross-contamination between raw meat, cooked foods, fish, vegetables, bread, and dairy is a genuine food safety concern. A properly observed colour-coded system helps kitchen teams maintain separation instinctively, even under the pressure of a full service. These boards are thick enough to provide a stable cutting surface and to withstand heavy daily use without flexing or splitting prematurely.

• Six boards covering the standard colour-coding system in one purchase
• LDPE construction — durable, easy to clean, and knife-friendly
• Substantial thickness provides a stable surface for heavy prep work
• Supports HACCP compliance and allergen separation procedures
• Suited to dishwasher cleaning for efficient end-of-service hygiene routines

At this size, the boards are practical for most prep tasks without being unwieldy on a standard prep bench. They are well suited to kitchens that need a straightforward, compliant colour-coding solution without a significant outlay. For very high-volume sites with multiple prep stations, it is worth considering whether additional sets or a heavier-grade board material would better suit the workload.

If you are setting up a new kitchen or reviewing your current food safety systems and want to talk through how colour-coded prep fits into your workflow, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas large chopping board set provides everything needed to run a structured colour-coded food preparation system in a commercial kitchen. The set includes six high density polyethylene boards — one in each of the standard colour codes — along with a wall-mounted storage rack and a colour identification chart. At this size, the boards are well suited to full portion preparation, butchery tasks, and general kitchen prep work where a smaller board would be impractical.

High density polyethylene is the material of choice for commercial chopping boards because it resists knife scoring better than softer plastics, tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles, and does not absorb odours or moisture in the way that wood does. Under regular heavy use, HDPE boards hold their surface integrity well, which matters both for hygiene and for the longevity of the set.

Running a colour-coded system offers clear operational advantages in a busy kitchen:

• Reduces cross-contamination risk between raw proteins, cooked foods, and produce
• Supports allergen management protocols by separating preparation surfaces
• Helps kitchen teams work consistently without verbal instruction
• Wall rack keeps boards organised, aired, and off preparation surfaces
• Colour wall chart provides clear reference for new or agency staff

The set is appropriate for kitchens of most sizes, from small independent catering operations through to larger contract catering environments. Because the boards are large, the rack requires a reasonable run of wall space — worth confirming before installation. For very high-volume operations where boards are in continuous use across multiple sections, it may be worth considering additional sets or a heavier-gauge alternative.

If you are setting up a new kitchen or reviewing your current food safety procedures and want to talk through what configuration would work best, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas chopping board set provides everything needed to operate a structured colour-coded food preparation system in a commercial kitchen. The set includes six high-density polyethylene boards — one in each of the standard colour-coded colours — along with a storage rack and a colour reference chart. Each board is manufactured from high-density polyethylene, which offers a firm, stable cutting surface that resists warping and is straightforward to clean and sanitise.

Colour-coded preparation is a well-established method of reducing cross-contamination risk between different food types. Having the full set of six boards means a kitchen can immediately implement a complete system rather than building one board at a time, and the included rack keeps boards stored upright and separate, which aids air drying and helps maintain hygiene between services.

Key practical points worth noting:

• Full six-colour system covers all standard food type categories
• High-density polyethylene surface is dishwasher safe and resists deep knife scoring over time
• Upright rack storage promotes drainage and reduces surface contact between boards
• Colour reference chart supports staff training and HACCP documentation
• Consistent board sizing means they stack and store predictably on the rack

The boards are a practical fit for most commercial kitchens — from smaller independent operations setting up food safety systems for the first time, through to larger kitchens standardising preparation across multiple sections. Kitchens running very high-volume prep across several teams may want to consider whether multiple sets are warranted to keep dedicated boards at each station.

If you're unsure how best to organise colour-coded prep within your specific kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through.

This bundle from Hygiplas brings together everything a kitchen needs to establish a proper colour-coded food safety system from the outset. The set includes six low-density polyethylene chopping boards, six colour-coded knives, a stainless steel wall-mounted board rack, a wipe-clean wall chart, and a knife roll — providing a ready-to-use HACCP-compliant cutting station without needing to source components separately.

Low-density polyethylene is a well-established board material in commercial kitchens. It is lighter than high-density alternatives, easier to handle during service, and straightforward to clean. The boards are durable enough for daily use across a range of prep tasks, and the colour-coding system — paired with the knife set — makes it practical to enforce separation of raw meats, fish, vegetables, cooked foods, and allergen-sensitive preparation without ambiguity.

The operational value of buying as a set rather than individually is mainly practical:

• Colour coding is consistent across boards and knives from the outset
• The wall chart supports staff training and ongoing compliance checks
• The board rack keeps surfaces clear and boards properly stored between use
• The knife roll provides safe transport and storage of the knife set
• A single purchase covers the full system — no mismatched components

There are no special installation requirements. The board rack is wall-mounted and will need appropriate fixings for the wall surface in question. The set is suited to smaller kitchens, pub kitchens, cafés, and catering operations setting up a colour-coded system for the first time. Larger operations running multiple prep sections may find they need additional boards or a duplicate set to cover all stations adequately.

If you are unsure whether this set covers your prep volume or whether you need additional capacity, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a large, extra thick chopping board made from high density polyethylene, colour-coded red to indicate use with raw meat in line with standard commercial kitchen food safety protocols. The board is supplied by Hygiplas, a well-established name in catering smallwares, and is a straightforward, practical piece of kit used widely across professional kitchens.

High density polyethylene is the material of choice for commercial chopping boards for good reason. It resists moisture absorption, does not harbour odours, and holds up well to repeated use with heavy knives and cleavers. The extra thickness on this board gives it noticeably better rigidity and longevity compared to standard-depth alternatives, reducing the tendency to warp or flex during prep work — which matters on a busy raw meat station.

From an operational standpoint, a board of this size and weight earns its place in kitchens where raw meat preparation is a regular part of the workflow:

• Red colour coding supports HACCP compliance without additional labelling
• Non-absorbent surface reduces cross-contamination risk
• Extra thickness adds stability during heavy chopping tasks
• Dishwasher safe construction suits kitchen cleaning routines
• Large surface area suits portioning and preparation of whole joints or larger cuts

At 6.6kg, this is a substantial board. It will stay put on a prep surface during use, but it is worth considering storage and handling for staff, particularly at the end of service. It is best suited to a fixed prep station rather than being moved repeatedly across a kitchen.

This board suits most commercial kitchens operating a colour-coded system — from pub kitchens and hotel operations to contract catering and school meal services. Kitchens handling lighter or lower-volume raw meat prep may find a standard-depth board sufficient; conversely, high-throughput butchery or production environments may benefit from reviewing heavier-duty or larger-format options.

If you are building out a full colour-coded board system or want to confirm the right sizes and quantities for your kitchen setup, the team are happy to help you work through it.

This is the large format yellow board from Hygiplas' extra thick colour-coded range, made from high density polyethylene. At 25mm thick and measuring 600 x 450mm, it is a substantial working surface intended for professional kitchen use rather than light-duty preparation.

High density polyethylene is the standard material for commercial chopping boards for good reason. It is non-absorbent, meaning liquids and food juices do not penetrate the surface, and it resists odour retention even after repeated heavy use. The extra thickness gives the board a solid, stable feel under the knife and adds longevity — thicker boards can withstand more resurfacing before they need replacing, which matters in kitchens that take HACCP compliance seriously.

The yellow colour coding follows the widely adopted system used across UK commercial kitchens to separate raw poultry from other food groups, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during busy service periods. Key practical points:

• Non-absorbent surface resists bacteria harbouring in cuts and scores
• Extra thickness provides stability during heavy prep work
• Colour-coded yellow for raw poultry separation under HACCP guidelines
• Dishwasher safe for consistent hygiene between uses
• High density polyethylene is odourless and non-toxic

At 6.6kg, the board has meaningful heft, which keeps it from shifting during use but is worth bearing in mind when considering storage and handling in a busy kitchen. It is best suited to central preparation areas with dedicated board storage rather than front-of-house or mobile prep stations.

This size suits most professional kitchens handling moderate to high volumes of poultry preparation. Where prep volumes are lower, a smaller board in the same range may be more practical. If you are building out a full colour-coded set or are unsure which sizes best match your prep workflow, we are happy to help you put together the right combination.

This is a large-format, extra-thick chopping board made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), supplied in white as part of Hygiplas's colour-coded board system. At 25mm thick, it is noticeably more substantial than standard catering boards, which makes a practical difference in day-to-day use — particularly in busy prep environments where boards take consistent heavy knife work.

White boards are conventionally used for bread and bakery in colour-coded food safety systems, though some operations also designate white for dairy or cooked foods. The important thing is consistency across your kitchen; colour coding only functions as an allergen and cross-contamination control measure if it is applied and enforced throughout the team.

The HDPE construction means the board is non-porous, which limits the absorption of juices, odours, and bacteria that can accumulate in softer or thinner boards over time. At 6.66kg, it has enough mass to stay stable on a worktop during use without needing additional securing, and the extra thickness gives it longer working life before it needs to be assessed for replacement under HACCP maintenance routines.

• Non-porous surface resists absorption of bacteria, odours, and moisture
• Extra 25mm thickness extends working life under heavy daily use
• Part of a colour-coded system supporting allergen management
• Suitable for dishwasher cleaning and routine sanitisation
• Stable working weight reduces movement during prep

This board is well suited to mid-sized and larger prep kitchens where worktop space and a structured colour-coding system are already in place. If you are setting up a new colour-coded board system or are unsure which sizes and colours best fit your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This is the large format green chopping board from Hygiplas, made from high-density polyethylene and cut to an extra 25mm thickness. Green is the universally recognised colour code for salad, fruit, and raw vegetables in commercial kitchen colour-coding systems, helping kitchen teams maintain clear ingredient separation without having to rely on memory or labelling alone.

The extra thickness matters in a working kitchen. Standard-weight boards can flex, warp, or develop deep score marks relatively quickly under heavy prep volumes. The additional material depth here gives greater structural rigidity and a longer usable life before the board needs retiring — a practical consideration in kitchens where boards are in use across multiple prep shifts each day.

High-density polyethylene is the standard material for commercial chopping boards for good reason: it is non-absorbent, resistant to odour absorption, and tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant degradation. It also satisfies food safety requirements around non-porous food contact surfaces.

• Colour-coded green for salad, fruit, and raw vegetable prep
• Extra thickness provides rigidity and resists warping under daily use
• Non-absorbent surface supports effective cleaning and sanitation
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Compliant with food hygiene regulations for food contact surfaces

The large size suits high-volume prep stations where smaller boards would require repositioning or create a cramped working surface. For kitchens with lighter prep requirements or limited bench space, a smaller format in the same range may be a better fit. If you are equipping a full station with a complete colour-coded set, it is worth discussing your prep workflow before ordering to make sure you have the right sizes and colours covered.

If you are unsure which sizes or quantities suit your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.
