Food grade storage containers that support hygiene and compliance

Our food grade storage containers are constructed from certified materials approved for direct food contact. Smooth inner walls reduce bacteria build-up and make cleaning quick and efficient—ideal for bakeries, butchers, processing plants and prep kitchens. Many containers resist oils, acids and temperature fluctuations, allowing for safe storage in both cold rooms and ambient areas. For added organisation in food-safe zones, many businesses pair these containers with dedicated food industry racking for improved airflow and compliance.

Stackable food transport crates built for space-efficient handling

Our food transport crates are engineered to stack securely when full and nest when empty—saving space in delivery vans, storerooms and return logistics. Available with or without lids, many crates feature ventilated walls to maintain airflow around fresh produce or chilled goods. These food transportation containers are widely used by catering services, wholesalers and supermarket delivery teams. To reduce manual strain during transfers, many operations pair crates with platform trolleys for smooth movement between vehicles and storage areas.

Supermarket crates for backroom stock rotation and display

Supermarket crates are a staple for retail environments handling perishables. Designed for durability and visual accessibility, these stackable crates integrate easily into shop shelving, cold storage rooms or mobile delivery racks. Open-sided models allow for airflow and at-a-glance stock checks—supporting fast rotation of dairy, produce or bakery items. Their uniform sizing also simplifies stacking and shelf planning across multiple departments.
