Description
Clear Hinged Pie Containers for Display, Takeaway and Collection
In stock. Package larger pies, quiches, tarts and chilled desserts in these professional GPI Patipack XG234 clear hinged pie packs. Supplied in a wholesale case of 210 complete containers, they are suitable for bakeries, patisseries, cafés, dessert shops, caterers, supermarkets and food retailers.
Each XG234 has a practical one-piece hinged design, keeping the clear lid attached to the base during preparation and packing. This reduces the need to handle separate components and supports faster service in busy bakery and food retail environments.
The transparent container keeps the product visible in chilled cabinets, bakery counters and customer collection areas. Customers and staff can see the pastry, filling and decorative finish without opening the pack, helping maintain an attractive retail presentation.
The container has a stated 220mm bottom diameter, widening to approximately 255mm across the top, with an overall height of 50mm. Its tapered format provides useful space for appropriately sized pies, quiches, flans, tarts, cheesecakes and similar desserts.
The hinged lid closes around the container rim to create an enclosed presentation for normal display, collection and takeaway handling. No airtight or leakproof performance is stated, so the pack should not be used for loose liquids or products requiring a guaranteed liquid-tight seal.

Suitable for Pies, Quiches, Tarts and Chilled Desserts
The XG234 is designed for larger bakery products and desserts that benefit from a clear, enclosed presentation.
Typical applications include:
- Whole bakery pies
- Fruit pies
- Sweet pastry pies
- Savoury pies
- Quiches
- Fruit and custard tarts
- Flans
- Cheesecakes
- Shallow gateaux
- Mousse desserts
- Chilled puddings
- Products prepared for customer collection
Measure the completed product rather than relying only on the pie-tin diameter. Pastry edges, fluted rims, fillings, piped cream, fruit and decorative toppings can increase the total space required inside the container.
Understanding the XG234 Dimensions
The XG234 has a tapered profile rather than completely straight sides. Its stated measurements are:
- 220mm bottom diameter: the approximate diameter across the lower base area
- 255mm top diameter: the approximate width across the upper rim
- 50mm height: the approximate overall container height
The usable internal dimensions may be slightly smaller because of the container walls, raised base features, rim and closure. A product measuring exactly 220mm across may therefore have limited clearance at the bottom, particularly where it has a wide pastry edge.
Check both the width and height of the completed pie or dessert before ordering, especially when packaging quiches with fluted pastry rims or desserts with raised toppings.
Clear Presentation for Chilled Bakery Displays
The transparent container allows customers and staff to see the product without opening the hinged lid. This makes it useful for bakery counters and chilled retail cabinets where product presentation and quick identification are important.
Clear packaging can help:
- Show baked pastry colour and texture
- Display fruit, cream and decorative toppings
- Allow staff to identify products quickly
- Support organised chilled-counter displays
- Allow customers to inspect products before purchase
- Reduce unnecessary opening during order checks
Product, price, ingredient, allergen or branding labels may be added where required. Position labels carefully so they do not unnecessarily obstruct the product or interfere with the hinged closure.
What Is Included?
- 210 complete GPI Patipack XG234 containers
- 210 attached clear hinged lids
- 220mm bottom diameter
- 255mm top diameter
- 50mm overall height
Each container is supplied as a complete one-piece unit. Separate lids and bases do not need to be purchased.
Packing and Handling Guidance
- Allow baked products to cool before packing
- Place the open container on a clean, flat and stable surface
- Position the pie, quiche or dessert centrally inside the base
- Check that pastry edges and toppings remain within the available space
- Bring the attached lid down carefully over the product
- Align the lid and base evenly around the complete rim
- Check that the closure is engaged before moving the container
- Carry the pack from underneath the base
- Keep the product level during display and transport
- Use suitable outer packaging for longer or more demanding journeys
The container helps shield the contents during normal display and handling, but delicate pastry, toppings and decorations should still be packed and transported carefully.

Storage, Usage and Disposal Guidance
Store unused containers in their original packaging in a clean and dry location. Protect them from dust, crushing, strong odours and direct sources of heat.
These containers are intended for bakery and dessert presentation, chilled display and transport. They should not be placed in an oven or microwave or used for cooking or reheating.
Allow hot pies, quiches and other baked products to cool before packing unless the manufacturer specifically confirms that the container is suitable for hot filling.
Businesses requiring confirmation of the exact plastic material or a particular food-contact standard should refer to the relevant manufacturer documentation.
Recycling and disposal options depend on the exact material, food contamination and facilities available locally. Check with your local authority or commercial waste contractor.
