Price Match

This is a full-size (1/1 GN) polypropylene food storage container, 100mm deep, designed for everyday ingredient storage and preparation work in commercial kitchens. It holds a useful volume of product, fits standard gastronorm shelving and most refrigeration units designed around GN sizing, and is made from BPA-free polypropylene throughout.

In a working kitchen environment, containers like this take a fair amount of daily handling — stacking, sliding across prep tables, going in and out of cold storage. The polypropylene construction is robust enough for that kind of regular use, and the transparent body means staff can identify contents at a glance without lifting the container or disturbing the food inside. The temperature tolerance spans refrigeration and freezer storage, making it practical across most cold-side applications.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

  • Clear body allows quick identification of contents without opening
  • Compatible with standard GN shelving and refrigeration systems
  • Safe for fridge and freezer storage without warping or cracking
  • BPA-free material supports food hygiene compliance
  • Lid available separately for sealed cold storage or transport

There are no water, electrical, or ventilation requirements. These containers are straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher, though as with most polypropylene items it is worth checking your dishwasher temperature settings — sustained high-temperature wash cycles can shorten the working life of plastic containers over time.

This container suits most catering operations as a general-purpose prep and storage solution — cafés, school kitchens, pub kitchens, and hotel operations all commonly use GN polypropylene at this depth. For sites with particularly high storage demands or where stainless GN containers are preferred for durability or temperature retention, alternatives are available at different price points.

If you are fitting out a kitchen and want to make sure you are ordering the right mix of GN sizes and depths for your workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Will this container fit a standard gastronorm refrigerator or cold prep unit?

Yes — it follows the 1/1 GN footprint, so it will sit on standard GN-compatible shelving and runners found in most commercial refrigerators, cold prep counters, and bain marie units. If your refrigeration uses a non-standard shelving arrangement it is worth checking internal dimensions beforehand.

Can this container go directly into a freezer?

Yes, the polypropylene material is rated to handle freezer temperatures without cracking or warping. For sealed freezer storage, a compatible lid is available separately, which also helps prevent freezer burn and odour transfer.

How does polypropylene compare to stainless steel GN containers for busy kitchen use?

Polypropylene containers are lighter, lower in cost, and well suited to cold-side storage and prep work. Stainless steel is generally preferred where containers will be used in hot holding, bain marie service, or anywhere that demands greater impact resistance over a long service life. For most cold storage and prep table applications, polypropylene at this price point is a practical and reliable choice.
