Buying Guide

Choose the Right Crate or Tray

Crates and trays should be chosen by the product being handled, whether it needs ventilation, whether it must stack or nest, hygiene requirements, load weight, and whether the use is for food, agriculture, retail, warehouse, or industrial handling.

Question Best option Why
Need general crates for storage, transport, or stock handling? Crates Standard plastic crates are best for general storage, order picking, retail stock, warehouse handling, household organisation, and moving goods that need a durable open container.
Need crates for butchery, fish, farming, or food processing? Fish And Meat Crates Fish and meat crates are better for food handling where strength, hygiene, stackability, and easy cleaning matter during processing, storage, distribution, or cold-room use.
Need trays for display, drying, sorting, or food preparation? Trays Trays are better for shallower handling tasks such as food display, drying fruit or confectionery, sorting items, serving, preparation, and moving products that do not need deep crate walls.
Need crates for fruit picking or agricultural use? Agricultural Picking Crates Agricultural picking crates are useful for fruit, berries, produce, and farm handling where ventilation, stacking, carrying strength, and repeated outdoor use are important.
Need crates for conveyor lines or warehouse order picking? Conveyor And Picking Crates Conveyor and picking crates are better for warehouses, factories, stockrooms, and fulfilment areas where consistent sizes, stackability, visibility, and easy product access help speed up handling.
Need food-grade trays for butchery, catering, or preparation areas? Food Handling Trays Food handling trays are useful for butcheries, catering, bakeries, food preparation, display counters, and processing areas where a shallow, easy-to-clean surface is more practical than a deep crate.

Common Questions

How do I choose between a crate and a tray?

Choose a crate when the item needs deeper storage, transport, stacking, or protection. Choose a tray when the task is shallow handling, display, drying, sorting, or food preparation.

When should I choose vented crates or trays?

Vented options are useful when airflow matters, such as produce, berries, drying, cold-room use, or items that should not sit fully enclosed.

When is a stack-and-nest option useful?

Stack-and-nest crates and trays help save space when empty while still allowing loaded items to stack more securely during storage or transport.
