Benefits of Our Robust Crockery Storage Boxes
Discover the key benefits of our storage boxes for crockery like plates, bowls, cups and saucers.
Heavy-Duty Design & Materials
Meticulously manufactured in Austria, these crockery and plate storage boxes support weights up to 200kg while maintaining their ergonomic design.
Our supplier uses industrial-grade plastic materials that withstand temperatures from -20°C to +80°C, making them suitable for cold storage or hot environments.
These boxes deliver years of reliable performance, whether you use them in warehouses, restaurant kitchens or catering operations.
Streamlined Organisation & Transport
These crockery packaging boxes make managing your dinnerware inventory effortless and efficient:
Easy stock visibility: The transparent design allows you to instantly identify contents without opening boxes, saving time during busy service or inventory checks.
Secure in transit: The click-close lid locks firmly in place, while removable inserts keep stacks of chinaware stable and protected during movement.
Simple handling: Ergonomic design and lightweight construction make these containers easy to carry, stack and pack, whether you're loading delivery vans or transporting dinner plates.
Extra Protection
Keep your valuable dishware safe from chips, cracks and breakage during storage and transit:
Secure compartments: Divider inserts and protective tube inserts hold each piece firmly in place. These removable components prevent movement and contact between items that could cause damage.
Flexible configurations: Our inserts, tube inserts and removable dividers are available in various layouts, so you can customise your storage box compartments to fit different plate sizes, bowls, glassware or speciality food items.
Easy to replace or expand: All divider and tube insert accessories are available separately. This makes it convenient to reconfigure boxes as your needs change or replace worn inserts without buying new containers.
These dividers and tube inserts provide the cushioning and separation your crockery needs to arrive intact every time, from fine china to everyday dinnerware.
Standardised for Stacking
Our crockery box range saves valuable space as they are:
Stackable with the lids on
Nestable when empty
Additionally, these crockery and plate storage solutions are compatible with palletisation for large-scale storage and distribution.
Hygiene & Food Safety
Maintain the highest standards of cleanliness with storage boxes designed for food service environments:
Food-safe materials: Constructed from special polypropylene, a food-grade plastic that meets strict safety standards for direct contact with dishes and fresh food.
Dishwasher-safe design: Simply run the entire box and inserts through your commercial dishwasher for fast, thorough cleaning between uses.
Adequate drainage: The box's contoured shape and integrated ventilation slots ensure complete drainage. This design prevents pooling that could carry bacteria or leave residue.
Constant air circulation: Built-in air slots provide ongoing ventilation, keeping contents dry and fresh while preventing moisture buildup and odours.
These ventilation features make the boxes ideal not just for dinnerware storage, but also for transporting fresh food items that require airflow to stay at peak quality.
Easy Labelling
For your convenience, we offer an in-house branding service for all storage boxes. Choose between thermal transfer print or high-tack vinyl stickers to help with:
Brand recognition featuring your logo and slogan
Protection against loss and theft with your company details
Stock taking with QR codes or product descriptions

Various Styles
Our versatile and effective storage range accommodates various sizes of plates, bowls, saucers and other dishes. These crockery and plate storage boxes have a load capacity of 200kg for added durability.
Versatile Inserts & Dividers
For plate storage, use one or two tube variations to secure the plates in place. The adjustable inserts click into the bottom of the box, securing the plates in place when the lid is closed. Stacking cups and saucers can also be stored using a box divider insert with four compartments.
Adaptable Plate Storage Boxes
Removing the divider walls opens up other storage opportunities, such as boxes for extra-large plate sizes or charger plates, food storage and wine bottle transportation.
Universal Catering Storage Box Solutions
The universal chinaware storage container range has been designed for catering product storage and transportation, making it a popular choice in the fast-moving events industry.
Extra Components & Accessories
During busy catering jobs or event planning, lightweight items can be easily misplaced or forgotten. That is why we offer additional components and accessories for your plate storage boxes, which can be bought separately.
Dividers: Use removable dividers to create your ideal segmented box, regardless of the plate size or dimensions of your catering products. We produce these dividers in-house using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology.
Tube Inserts: To further protect your crockery during transit, slot in tube inserts to keep plates or bowls in place.
Lids: Our robust storage box lids serve a more significant purpose than keeping crockery or food secure. Pegs on the bottom of the lid hold the dividers in place.
