Considerations for Choosing Fish Storage Boxes

Selecting the right plastic fish crates and storage for your business needs helps to ensure food safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Quality Materials

In the fish trade, hygiene and safety are essential. Containers must be food-grade certified to meet industry standards and guarantee the fish is safe for consumption.

Our storage boxes are European-manufactured from food-safe materials such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), High-Density Polypropylene (HDPP), and Twin Wall Corrugated Plastic. These materials are strong, non-toxic, and ideal for handling wet, heavy loads. They won’t leach chemicals into your fish, helping you maintain freshness and quality from catch to customer.

Regulatory Compliance

Under Schedule 3 of the Food Safety (Fishery Products and Live Shellfish) Regulations 1998, fish storage crates and containers must be purpose-designed to prevent contamination and maintain high hygiene standards. On land and at sea, they must be made from corrosion-resistant materials that are easy to clean and disinfect. Shore-based fish boxes must also allow proper drainage of meltwater.

Euro Fish Shipping Containers

These marine-grade fish boxes comply with the European standard dimensions of 600 x 400 mm. This enables any two containers with the same footprint to stack securely, regardless of height.
