Storing Seafood or Fresh Produce Without the Right Crate Costs You Quality.

Solid-sided containers trap moisture, restrict airflow, and accelerate spoilage. The IH001-LID-COMBO pairs a 15L food-grade vented aquaculture crate with a matching IH002 vented lid - so your product stays fresh, your crates stack neatly when full, and nest flat when empty to free up space.

The Problem It Solves

• Moisture and spoilage: Sealed containers hold heat and condensation against your product. The vented base and sides allow continuous airflow, reducing moisture buildup and extending freshness.
• Wasted storage space: Bulky crates that don't nest or stack efficiently eat into your floor space. This crate stacks securely when loaded and nests compactly when empty - both in the same footprint.
• Contamination risk: Not all plastic crates are food-safe. The IH001 is injection-moulded from food contact approved material, making it compliant for direct contact with seafood, produce, and perishables.
• Loose lids that don't stay put: A mismatched or ill-fitting lid shifts in transit and exposes contents. The IH002 lid is purpose-designed to fit the IH001 securely, protecting contents during storage and transport.

How It Delivers

• Food contact approved: Injection-moulded from food-grade plastic - safe for direct contact with seafood, bakery goods, and fresh produce. Meets food handling requirements for commercial use.
• Vented base and sides: Promotes airflow around stored product, reducing moisture and keeping contents fresher for longer - critical for aquaculture, fishing, and perishable food logistics.
• Stack and nest design: Stacks securely when loaded (600 x 352 x 96mm external); nests flat when empty to minimise storage and transport volume.
• 15L capacity with matching IH002 lid: Right-sized for seafood trays, bakery batches, and produce portions. The lid secures contents and keeps out contaminants during cold storage or transit.
• Durable injection-moulded construction: Built to handle repeated commercial use, washing, and cold storage cycling without warping or cracking.
• Lightweight at 1.06kg (crate only): Easy to handle even when stacked in volume - reduces fatigue in high-throughput picking and packing environments.
