Description
Large Clear Hinged Pie Containers for Display and Takeaway
In stock. Package larger pies, quiches, tarts and chilled desserts in these professional GPI Patipack XG244 clear hinged pie packs. Supplied in a wholesale case of 160 complete containers, they are suitable for bakeries, patisseries, cafés, caterers, supermarkets, farm shops and food retailers.
Each XG244 has a one-piece hinged design, keeping the clear lid attached to the base during preparation and packing. The transparent construction allows customers and staff to view the contents without opening the container, making it useful for chilled display cabinets, bakery counters, customer collection and takeaway.
The container has a stated 235mm bottom diameter, widening to approximately 265mm across the top, with an overall height of 50mm. This wider format provides space for appropriately sized large pies, quiches, flans, tarts, cheesecakes and similar bakery products.
The hinged lid closes around the container rim to create a neat, enclosed presentation for normal display and handling. No airtight or leakproof performance is stated, so the container should not be used for loose liquids or products that require a guaranteed liquid-tight seal.

Suitable for Large Pies, Quiches and Tarts
The XG244 is designed for larger bakery products and desserts that benefit from a clear, enclosed presentation.
Typical applications include:
- Large fruit pies
- Sweet pastry pies
- Savoury pies
- Large quiches
- Fruit and custard tarts
- Flans
- Cheesecakes
- Shallow gateaux
- Mousse desserts
- Large chilled puddings
- Bakery products prepared for customer collection
Measure the finished product rather than relying only on the pie-tin diameter. Pastry edges, fluted rims, toppings, piped cream, fruit and decorations can increase the total space required inside the container.
Understanding the XG244 Dimensions
The container has a tapered profile rather than completely straight sides. Its stated measurements are:
- 235mm bottom diameter: the approximate diameter across the lower base area
- 265mm 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 pie measuring exactly 235mm across may therefore be too close to the available lower diameter, particularly where it has a wide pastry edge.
Check both the width and height of the completed product before ordering, especially when packing quiches with fluted pastry rims or desserts with raised toppings.
Clear Presentation for Chilled Bakery Displays
The clear container keeps the product visible in bakery counters and chilled retail cabinets. Customers can see pastry colour, fillings and decorative finishes without the lid needing to be opened.
Clear presentation can help:
- Show baked pastry and decorative finishes
- Display fruit, cream and other toppings
- Allow staff to identify products quickly
- Support organised retail-counter presentation
- Allow customers to inspect the product 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?
- 160 complete GPI Patipack XG244 containers
- 160 attached clear hinged lids
- 235mm bottom diameter
- 265mm top diameter
- 50mm overall height
Each container is supplied as a complete one-piece unit. Separate lids and bases are not required.
Packing and Handling Guidance
- Allow baked products to cool before packing
- Place the open container on a clean, flat 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.
