APS Superbox Acacia Wood Buffet Crate

Name: APS Superbox Acacia Wood Buffet Crate
Brand: APS
SKU: DR732
Availability: InStock

The APS Superbox Buffet Crate is a solid acacia wood crate for open buffet and self-service displays. It is available in four GN sizes, GN 1/1, GN 1/2, GN 1/4 and GN 2/4, in natural acacia or a black finish. Bread, rolls, pastries, condiments, cutlery rolls and dry goods sit naturally in this format.

The crate does two jobs. Upright, it is a display crate that guests can reach into easily. Inverted, it becomes a low riser, adding height variation to a buffet layout when used underneath compatible APS melamine trays. The GN footprints sit alongside standard GN trays and inserts, and the range mixes and matches for coordinated buffet builds.

This crate suits hotels, cafe-bars, restaurants running continental or full breakfast buffets, and delis and farm shops looking for a consistent display look. It is a display item for dry and ambient use. If you are planning a buffet layout and want help choosing sizes, the team is happy to help before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this crate suitable for displaying chilled or hot food directly in the crate?

No — the Superbox is designed for ambient food display only. It works well with bread, whole fruit, pastries, and similar produce, but it is not suitable for direct contact with chilled inserts, ice, or any heat source. For temperature-controlled buffet display, a purpose-built chilled or heated unit would be the appropriate choice.

How does the crate work as a riser, and what tray size does it pair with?

When inverted, the crate provides a stable, raised platform at the depth of the crate walls. It is designed to work alongside APS melamine trays at the full GN 1/1 size, giving you a practical height change on the buffet table. It is worth checking that your tray sits flat and securely before service if you intend to use it this way regularly.

How should this crate be cleaned, and will it withstand daily commercial use?

Solid acacia wood requires handwashing only — dishwashers, prolonged soaking, and high-pressure washing will damage the timber over time. In a daily hotel breakfast setting, that means a quick wipe-down or hand rinse between services. With consistent care the wood holds up well, though natural variation in grain and tone is normal and tends to develop further with use.
