In food preparation and processing environments, having the right equipment can make everyday tasks more efficient and better organised. From commercial kitchens and bakeries to food production and catering operations, storage solutions need to be practical, durable and safe.
One product that stands out is Solent Plastics’ 22-litre plastic ventilated Euro catering container. Compatible with standard Euro systems, it is designed to integrate seamlessly into food preparation, handling and distribution processes.
Designed for efficient food handling
Ventilated sides and base allow air to circulate freely around the contents, making the container particularly useful for applications where temperature management and product quality are important. The base incorporates square ventilation holes measuring 5mm across, enabling consistent airflow without compromising sturdy support, making the container suitable for cooling, proofing and drying processes including applications involving pasta, fruit and meats.
Making the most of available space
Storage efficiency remains a challenge in many commercial kitchens, particularly where available space is limited.
Our star product is one of the best stackable storage food containers on the market for food applications. Designed to interstack with all standard European crates, it creates a highly versatile storage system. Whether used on shelving systems, transport trolleys or pallets, it helps maximise available space while supporting an organised workflow.
Practical 22-litre capacity
Offering a useful balance between storage volume and ease of handling, it’s large enough to accommodate substantial quantities of ingredients, produce or prepared foods, while remaining manageable for everyday use.
Suitable for hospitality venues, catering kitchens and food production facilities where reliable catering food storage containers are essential for daily operations; whether storing ingredients, transporting baked goods or organising products during processing, the 22-litre capacity offers practicality without becoming difficult to handle. Weighing just 1.12kg when empty, it’s easy to move around working environments, while still providing the strength required for demanding daily use.
Functional Euro container design
Following the widely recognised Euro crate format, making it easy to integrate into existing logistics systems, external dimensions measure 600mm long x 400mm wide x 118mm high, while the internal dimensions are 550mm x 355mm x 90mm. These proportions create a low-profile storage tray that’s particularly well suited to applications where products need to be laid out evenly.
The shallow tray style also makes contents easy to access, inspect and organise throughout the working day.
Built from durable HDPE material
Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the container is resilient enough for even the most demanding environments. HDPE is widely recognised for its strength, durability and hygienic properties. As a food grade material, it provides confidence when used in environments where hygiene and product safety are priorities.
Another important advantage is its chemical resistance. When regular cleaning and sanitation are routine, storage equipment must withstand exposure to cleaning products without degrading over time. The HDPE construction helps ensure long-term reliability under intensive use.
The combination of strength, food safety and chemical resistance means our ventilated plastic catering container is suitable for a wide variety of applications across commercial environments.
Suitable for extreme temperatures
Designed to operate between -40°C and 75°C, our ventilated storage box performs reliably across a wide range of food handling environments.
Its freezer-safe construction allows businesses to use it for chilled and frozen goods without concern about performance in low temperature environments. Equally, the container is dishwasher safe, supporting efficient cleaning procedures and maintaining hygiene standards.
Supporting multiple workplace applications
Whether used for cooling baked goods, handling fresh produce or organising ingredients during production, this box delivers reliable performance throughout the working day.
At £10.25 excluding VAT, our Euro plastic stacking box offers excellent value. For businesses looking to replace or standardise their ventilated storage containers, it’s a durable and practical solution designed for demanding commercial environments.
