This is a standard half-size gastronorm food storage container made from polypropylene. It fits the 1/2 GN footprint used across most commercial refrigeration, cold prep units, and storage racking, making it a practical workhorse for ingredient storage, prep organisation, and service mise en place.

Polypropylene containers of this type are a common choice in busy kitchens because they hold up well to daily handling, repeated washing, and the temperature swings that come with moving food between cold storage and ambient prep environments. The rated temperature range covers refrigerator and light freezer use through to ambient service conditions, which gives them reasonable flexibility across different storage applications.

  • Fits standard 1/2 GN racking, cold prep units, and bain-marie frames
  • Polypropylene construction resists staining and absorbs little odour over time
  • Compatible with most commercial dishwashers for quick turnaround
  • Uniform sizing allows consistent stacking and labelling in cold storage
  • Suitable for chilled storage and ambient prep holding

These containers work well in most standard commercial kitchen configurations. They are a practical fit for sites that need reliable, interchangeable storage across a busy fridge or walk-in. The 150mm depth suits bulk ingredient storage rather than shallow service pans — worth bearing in mind if you are fitting them into a specific cold prep unit where clearance is tight. For sites needing shallower or deeper capacities, other depths in the same GN format are worth considering alongside this one.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or standardising your gastronorm storage across multiple units, it is worth having a conversation with us to make sure the depths and sizes you choose work together efficiently across your setup.

Frequently asked questions

Will this container fit my cold prep unit or under-counter fridge?

If your unit accepts standard 1/2 GN pans, this container will fit the footprint. The 150mm depth is on the deeper side, so it is worth checking the internal clearance of your specific unit before ordering, particularly in shallow-drawer refrigeration.

Is this container suitable for freezer storage?

The polypropylene material is rated down to -40°C, which covers most commercial freezer environments. It is not designed for blast chilling use, but for standard frozen storage it is a practical option.

Can I use this container without a lid for service as well as storage?

Yes, the open container is commonly used for mise en place during service as well as cold storage. If you need to cover contents for overnight storage or transit, compatible 1/2 GN lids are available separately and worth considering alongside the containers.
