Are the containers suitable for low temperatures?

Our containers are only partially suitable for deep-freeze applications. According to available tests, some products can be used at temperatures down to –18 °C.

Please refer to the specific information provided in the product description at the bottom of each item detail page. As a wholesaler, we pass on the manufacturers’ data, over which we have no direct control.

The final responsibility for proper use lies with the customer, as only they know the exact conditions of filling, storage, and transport. At low temperatures, plastics may become brittle and prone to breakage.

From a migration standpoint (transfer of substances from the packaging to the contents), our products are entirely safe – migration decreases as temperature drops.

You can also find a non-binding indication of freezer suitability via the performance symbol shown on the product image.

Suitability for Low Temperatures – Usage Guidelines

Criterion Description Note / Recommendation
Temperature Range Most of our plastic containers are designed for use above +5 °C. Below +5 °C, the material may become brittle and break under impact or pressure.
Deep-Freezing Exceptions Selected products have been successfully tested down to –18 °C. These items are clearly marked in the shop with the blue thermometer symbol on the product image.
Material Behaviour Polypropylene loses elasticity at low temperatures, increasing the risk of breakage. Avoid impacts, drops, or strong compression of cold containers.
Food Safety From a migration perspective, there is no risk – migration decreases as temperature drops. Safe for food contact, even during cooling or refrigeration.
User Responsibility Actual suitability depends on filling product, temperature duration and handling conditions. Always test under real conditions before serial application.
Information Source Product descriptions contain precise information on temperature resistance. The blue thermometer symbol indicates verified freezing suitability.

Note

Only products explicitly approved for freezing are suitable for use below +5 °C. All other packaging is intended for ambient temperature applications only.
