Storage boxes with lids

The lid is what makes the difference

Do you also have open bowls and bags standing around, where the contents dry out, collect dust, or spill as soon as you move them? You are not the only one. A lid does more than you might think. It seals the contents in, so flour, pasta, coffee, and leftovers are protected from dust and moisture, and it gives you a flat surface you can place the next box on. This way, you utilize the height in the cabinet or on the shelf instead of just the floor space. At the same time, the uniform lids create a calm and aesthetic look, where you previously had a mix of packaging in all sorts of colors. Here you will find storage with lids in glass and containers that suit the kitchen, refrigerator, and freezer. If you are looking for the large storage boxes for the attic, basement, and wardrobe, you will find them in our boxes and wooden boxes.

Glass with wooden lid or plastic containers

The choice of material determines both how the storage looks and where you best use it.

Glass with a wooden lid looks beautiful on the table or shelf and gives you a calm, natural look with wood and glass, which feng shui highly values. You can see the contents through the glass and thus keep an overview without opening anything. If you choose between storage glass with wooden lid light square and the darker storage glass with acacia wooden lid, it is mostly about which tone suits your kitchen. Be aware that the square glasses are not airtight.

The plastic containers are light and sturdy and are suitable for the cabinet, refrigerator, and freezer, where glass can be heavy. Our gastromax containers for dry goods are square, so they stand close to each other without wasted space. If you want a warm look on the container too, there are storage containers with wooden lid with wooden lids.

How to choose the size according to the contents

The right size depends on how much of the product you have, and how quickly you use it.

The square glasses with wooden lid are available in several sizes, so you can collect the whole kitchen in the same series. The small ones hold 500 ml and suit what you use a little at a time, such as baking powder, seeds, or nuts. The medium size of 1000 ml holds rice, lentils, and oatmeal, while the large ones of 1800 ml and 2000 ml are for flour, pasta, and sugar, where you pour a whole bag in. The wooden lid protects the contents from dust, as long as the glass is closed.

The containers for dry goods follow the same logic. The smallest of 0.35 L and 0.8 L suit spice blends and small portions, while the larger ones from 1.6 L and up to 3.5 L take a whole bag of flour or grains. Better buy a size too large than too small, so you can pour the whole bag in and avoid the open bag in the cabinet. If you want to start united, a storage glass package solution can give you several sizes at once.

Square glasses pack tighter than round

The shape means more for the space than one thinks. Square glasses and containers stand completely next to each other and utilize the corners in the cabinet, where round ones leave small gaps that quickly become wasted space. If you choose the square ones, you therefore get more glasses on the same shelf and a more uniform look when they stand in a row. The round glasses, on the other hand, have a softer shape that looks good displayed on the table. At our place you will find both square storage glasses and round models, so you can choose according to whether the space or the look means most right there where they should stand.

Storage with lid for the freezer

Leftovers and meal prep do best in a box that can withstand both cooling and freezing and closes properly. Our food storage box glass has bamboo lids and is available in three sizes of 320, 520, and 800 ml. The smallest are for one portion or a leftover sauce, the medium for lunch, and the largest for a whole dish. The glass makes it easy to see what is inside the freezer, so you do not end up forgetting the food at the back. If you want to organize the whole freezer with a system, you can get more ideas in our collection organization in the freezer.

A system holds when the glasses are labeled

A lid keeps the contents clean, but it does not say what is in the glass when several products look alike. Flour, powdered sugar, and potato starch can be difficult to distinguish from each other through the glass. Here a set of labels does the rest of the work. You put them on the front and immediately get a uniform look, where everything can be read at a glance. Then you do not have to open three glasses to find the right one, and you see in the supermarket if you have more at home. We promise that it is all worth it once the system is created, and if you have questions, we are always ready to help.
