🌟 What Makes These Storage Containers Special?
🔷 Vibrant Blue Colour for Visual Management
Stand out from standard grey containers with this eye-catching blue finish. Perfect for businesses implementing colour-based organisation systems where different departments, product types, or storage zones need instant visual identification. The bold blue shade remains vibrant even after years of use, helping staff quickly locate the right items and reducing time wasted searching through identical-looking containers.
💪 Built Like a Tank for Daily Industrial Use
These aren't your average plastic boxes. Constructed from industrial-grade polypropylene copolymer, each container features thick walls and a reinforced bottom that won't buckle under pressure. The corner posts are engineered to handle the stress of repeated stacking, while the base includes strategically placed ribs that distribute weight evenly across the entire footprint. Drop one from waist height? It'll bounce, not break.
📐 European Pallet System Compatible
Measuring 400x600mm at the base, these containers slot perfectly into the European pallet ecosystem used across UK warehouses. Two containers sit side-by-side on a standard 800mm pallet width, four fill a 1200mm Euro pallet completely, and they integrate seamlessly with most industrial shelving units. No wasted space, no awkward gaps – just efficient use of every square centimetre.
🏗️ Stack High Without Worry
The clever interlocking rim design means containers lock together when stacked, preventing dangerous shifting during transport or storage. Load them up to 25kg each and stack them 2 metres high with confidence. The top rim of each container features grooves that perfectly match the base pattern of the container above, creating a stable tower that won't topple during forklift movement or manual handling.
♻️ Green Credentials That Matter
Made entirely from recyclable polypropylene, these containers support your environmental commitments. When they eventually reach end-of-life (typically after 7-12 years of hard use), they can be processed through standard plastic recycling streams. By choosing reusable containers over disposable cardboard, you're eliminating hundreds of single-use boxes from landfills over the product's lifetime.
🎯 Where Do These Containers Excel?
Electronics & Technology Warehouses
Protect sensitive equipment from dust and static with these fully enclosed containers. The smooth interior won't scratch delicate screens or circuit boards, whilst the solid walls shield contents from warehouse dirt and debris. Use blue containers exclusively for high-value electronics to instantly identify your most valuable inventory. The 66-litre capacity comfortably holds laptops, tablets, computer peripherals, and networking equipment.
Automotive Parts Distribution
Chemical resistance is built into the material – oils, brake fluid, coolant, and workshop solvents won't degrade or stain these containers. Store everything from spark plugs to alternators, brake pads to oil filters. The enclosed design keeps small parts contained and prevents the frustration of screws and bolts rolling into corners. Mechanics appreciate being able to grab a blue container knowing it contains electrical components, whilst red might indicate brake parts.
Pharmaceutical & Medical Supply Storage
Hygiene matters in healthcare environments. These containers feature non-porous surfaces that won't harbour bacteria, and they're simple to sanitise between uses. The enclosed design protects medical supplies from airborne contamination, whilst the blue colour fits perfectly into clinical colour-coding systems. Store bandages, syringes, diagnostic equipment, or pharmaceutical stock with confidence that contents remain uncontaminated.
Textile & Fashion Retail
Keep clothing and fabrics pristine during storage and transport. The enclosed design prevents dust accumulation on garments, whilst the generous 66-litre volume accommodates bulky items like winter coats, bedding sets, or fabric bolts. Fashion retailers use blue containers for menswear, whilst pink holds womenswear, or designate blue for winter stock and yellow for summer collections. The smooth interior prevents snagging on delicate fabrics.
Food Manufacturing & Catering
Whilst these containers can handle dry food ingredients and packaged goods, they're particularly valued in commercial kitchens for storing non-food items like cleaning supplies, disposable packaging, and kitchen equipment. The easy-clean surface wipes down quickly, and the material won't absorb odours from strong-smelling ingredients. Many bakeries use blue containers for flour and dry ingredients, keeping them separate from finished products in different coloured containers.
Manufacturing Production Lines
Position containers at workstations loaded with components needed for assembly. Workers grab parts without leaving their station, improving productivity and reducing walking time. The blue colour can designate specific component types – perhaps blue holds fasteners whilst green contains electronic parts. When a container empties, it's immediately obvious which component needs replenishing.
E-commerce Order Fulfilment
Organise your picking process with colour-coded containers. Blue might indicate priority next-day orders, whilst standard orders use grey containers. The 66-litre size holds multiple orders during batch picking, and the enclosed design prevents items from falling out during transport around the warehouse. Stack them on trolleys for efficient multi-order picking runs.
Workshop & Tool Storage
Keep your workshop organised with dedicated containers for different tool categories. Blue containers might hold power tools, red for hand tools, and yellow for consumables. The chemical-resistant material handles exposure to cutting oils, lubricants, and solvents without degrading. The solid construction protects expensive tools from damage, whilst the enclosed design keeps them dust-free between jobs.
📦 What You Receive:
- ✓ Three 66-litre industrial containers in blue
- ✓ European standard 400x600mm base dimensions
- ✓ Manufactured from 100% recyclable material
- ✓ Quality assurance inspection certificate
🔍 Design Features That Make a Difference:
Fully Enclosed Protection
Unlike open-fronted alternatives, these containers completely enclose contents on all sides. This matters when you're storing items that need protection from dust, moisture, or prying eyes. The solid walls also provide better structural strength when stacking, as the load distributes across the entire perimeter rather than just the corner posts.
Comfortable Handling Grips
Moulded hand-holds on both long sides make carrying loaded containers comfortable, even when they're filled to the 25kg maximum. The grips are positioned at the natural carrying height and angled to suit the human hand, reducing strain during repetitive lifting. The smooth exterior means no sharp edges to catch on clothing or scratch hands.
Forklift-Friendly Base
The raised base design creates clearance for forklift tines and pallet truck forks, enabling mechanical handling when moving multiple containers. The base height is standardised across the range so that you can mix different coloured containers on the same pallet without stability issues.
Temperature Tolerance
From freezer storage at -20°C to heated production areas at +60°C, these containers maintain their structural integrity. The material won't become brittle in cold storage or soften in warm environments. This versatility means you can use the same containers throughout your facility, regardless of temperature zones.
Nest When Empty
Empty containers nest inside each other, collapsing the stack height by approximately 70%. This space-saving feature is invaluable for businesses with seasonal demand fluctuations – store dozens of empty containers in the space normally occupied by just a few. The nesting action is smooth and won't damage the containers, even after hundreds of cycles.
Resistant to Workplace Chemicals
The polypropylene construction resists attack from most common industrial chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents. Spill some degreaser? Wipe it off. Splash of hydraulic fluid? No problem. This chemical resistance extends the working life significantly compared to containers made from less robust materials.
Easy Maintenance
The smooth, non-porous surface doesn't trap dirt in crevices or textured areas. A quick wipe with a damp cloth removes most marks, whilst stubborn dirt yields to pressure washing. The material won't absorb stains or odours, so containers look professional even after years of service. No special cleaning products required – standard detergents work perfectly.

❓ Common Questions Answered:
Q: Why choose solid containers instead of open-fronted ones?
A: Solid containers offer superior protection for contents. They shield items from dust, prevent small parts from falling out, provide better security for valuable stock, and offer stronger structural support when stacking. Choose solid containers when protection matters more than instant access. Open-fronted designs suit high-frequency picking operations where speed is paramount.
Q: Do these fit standard European pallets?
A: Absolutely. The 400x600mm footprint is specifically designed for Euro pallet compatibility. Place two containers across an 800mm pallet width, fit four on a 1200mm Euro pallet, or five on a 1000mm pallet. They also integrate with most UK industrial racking systems designed for Euro standard dimensions.
Q: What's the maximum safe stacking height?
A: When loaded to the 25kg maximum, stack up to 2 metres high (approximately 5-6 containers). The interlocking rim design prevents shifting, but always stack on level ground. For heights exceeding 2 metres, use racking systems rather than free-standing stacks for safety.
Q: Can I add lids to these containers?
A: Yes, these containers accept optional lids for additional security and weather protection. Lids are particularly useful for outdoor storage, transport in open vehicles, or securing high-value inventory. Contact us for lid availability and pricing.
Q: How does the blue colour help with organisation?
A: Colour-coding is one of the most effective visual management tools. Assign blue to specific departments, product categories, or priority levels, and staff can identify the right container instantly without reading labels. This reduces errors, speeds up operations, and makes training new staff easier.
Q: Are these suitable for outdoor storage?
A: Yes. The UV-resistant polypropylene won't degrade in sunlight, and the material handles British weather from -20°C to +60°C without becoming brittle or warping. For long-term outdoor storage, consider adding lids for extra protection.
Q: How should I clean these containers?
A: For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deep cleaning, use a pressure washer or submerge in sanitising solution. The non-porous surface won't absorb liquids or odours. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the surface.
Q: Do they nest when empty?
A: Yes. Empty containers nest inside each other, reducing storage height by approximately 70%. Ten empty containers occupy roughly the same vertical space as three full ones. This space-saving feature is invaluable for seasonal businesses or those with fluctuating storage needs.
Q: What's the actual usable space inside?
A: Internal dimensions are 364 x 562 x 330mm, giving you 66 litres of usable volume. The 3mm wall thickness means external dimensions (398 x 596 x 340mm) are slightly larger – important when calculating shelf space and pallet loading.
Q: Will these work with my existing racking?
A: If your racking is designed for Euro standard containers (400x600mm footprint), these will fit perfectly. They're compatible with most UK industrial shelving, pallet racking, and automated storage systems. The raised base also allows forklift and pallet truck access.
Q: Can they handle heavy automotive parts?
A: Definitely. The 25kg capacity and reinforced construction handle heavy items like brake discs, gearboxes, and tool sets. The chemical-resistant material also withstands exposure to oils, greases, and workshop solvents without degrading.
Q: Are these suitable for food contact?
A: These containers work well for storing packaged food items and dry ingredients. The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to sanitise, and the enclosed design protects contents from contamination. They're commonly used in commercial kitchens and food distribution for dry goods storage.
Q: What's the expected lifespan?
A: With normal industrial use, expect 7-12 years of service. The impact-resistant material withstands daily handling, and the robust construction ensures longevity. Many customers report containers still in excellent condition after a decade of use.
Q: Can I order larger quantities?
A: This listing provides three containers, ideal for small businesses or trial orders. For larger quantities, bulk pricing is available – contact our team for quotes on warehouse fit-outs or large-scale operations.
Q: What if containers arrive damaged?
A: We pack carefully to prevent transit damage, but if any container arrives damaged, photograph it and contact us within 48 hours. We'll arrange immediate replacement or refund.
Q: Where do you deliver?
A: Throughout the United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Orders placed before 2 pm typically ship the same day, arriving within 1-2 working days to most addresses.

🎨 Implementing Colour-Coded Systems:
Department Identification:
Assign blue containers to specific departments – perhaps electronics, raw materials, or finished goods. Staff instantly recognise which department owns each container, preventing mix-ups and improving accountability.
Priority Designation:
Use blue for priority items, urgent orders, or high-value stock. This visual cue ensures important items receive appropriate attention and handling.
Product Categorisation:
Designate blue for specific product families or SKU ranges. This speeds up stock location and reduces picking errors, particularly valuable in large warehouses with thousands of SKUs.
Process Stages:
Assign colours to workflow stages – blue for incoming goods, yellow for quality inspection, green for approved stock. Visualise your process flow at a glance.
Hygiene Zones:
In food environments, blue often indicates raw materials or specific ingredient types, supporting HACCP compliance and food safety protocols.
🌍 Environmental Responsibility:
Choosing reusable containers over disposable packaging demonstrates environmental commitment whilst delivering financial benefits.
♻️ Complete Recyclability
After 7-12 years of service, these containers enter standard plastic recycling streams. The single-material construction (no mixed materials or metal components) simplifies recycling processing.
🌱 Eliminate Disposable Packaging
One container replaces hundreds of cardboard boxes over its lifetime. Calculate the environmental impact: if each container saves 100 cardboard boxes, this three-pack prevents 300 boxes from landfill.
💚 Energy-Efficient Manufacturing
Modern production techniques minimise energy consumption and waste during manufacturing, reducing the carbon footprint of each container.
🔄 Long-Term Value
The extended 7-12 year lifespan means fewer replacements, less waste, and better return on investment compared to cheaper alternatives requiring frequent replacement.
