Storage that compliments daily working conditions

In the fast-paced and demanding environment of commercial bakeries, daily working conditions are hectic. Traditional materials fall short in terms of durability and resilience regarding storage solutions in bakery environments. That's where plastic storage stands out. Plastic storage is a reliable choice compared to materials like cardboard or metal in bakery settings.

Superior environmental resistance

Storage for commercial bakeries faces constant movement, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to moisture and chemicals are common challenges. That's why reliable and durable choices, such as our range of plastic storage solutions, are essential.

One of the key benefits of our plastics, such as food-grade Polypropylene, is its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, ensuring that your ingredients, dough, and finished goods remain in optimal condition. Furthermore, plastic storage exhibits exceptional resistance to moisture and chemicals, safeguarding your bakery supplies from potential damage.

Compliant plastic storage hygiene

Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is paramount in any food-related industry, and commercial bakeries are no exception. Ensuring hygiene standards are met can be challenging, with various ingredients and products circulating daily. That's why choosing the right storage options is critical to prevent contamination.

Plastic storage solutions, including plastic containers, are ideal for bakery environments, as they are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike traditional materials, such as cardboard and wood, plastic containers can withstand exposure to moisture and high temperatures, making them less prone to harbouring bacteria and mould. Moreover, plastic containers are designed to be reusable, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste.

Businesses looking for cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and hygienic storage options need not look any further than Alison Handling's selection of plastic storage solutions. Choose from easy-to-clean stack and nest containers, plastic pallets, and even plastic bakery trays to keep your bakery products organised and your hygiene standards consistently high.

Improved organisation with colour coding

With a vast array of ingredients, equipment, and finished products, efficient storage is as paramount as hygiene to keeping operations running smoothly.

Colour-coded plastic storage is a game-changer for commercial bakeries as it improves organisation, increases efficiency, and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. By colour coding containers and lids, it's easy to distinguish between different food groups and helps prevent mixing products that might result in spoilage or contamination.

The different colours should be assigned to specific areas of the bakery, such as the bakery, kitchen, or storage area, to keep things organised and improve workflow. In addition to the benefits of reduced cross-contamination, colour coding is also useful for inventory management and stock rotation.

Additionally, bakeries will first ensure that their oldest ingredients are used by identifying the containers with a coloured dot so that cleaners or other staff know what will be used. Adding more colours as more categories are needed is a popular solution as your business grows.

Reliable transportation

When transporting finished goods from the bakery to retailers, it's essential to have reliable plastic storage solutions that keep the products safe, fresh, and hygienic in transit. Commercial bakeries need to ensure that their products reach the consumers in pristine condition to maintain customer trust and satisfaction, and therefore, investing in reliable plastic storage is crucial. Durable and sturdy plastic containers can provide insulation against extreme temperatures, keeping baked goods fresh for longer periods. Additionally, plastic storage solutions are lightweight, making them easy to transport and stack, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery and protecting the products from damage.

Our plastic solutions are an effective replacement for cardboard boxes. Using reusable plastic packaging can make commercial bakeries more environmentally conscious while reducing costs associated with older packaging methods.
