Hygiplas Extra Thick High Density Chopping Board Set with Rack

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.
