Description
Large Clear Hinged Pie Containers for Bakery & Takeaway
In stock. Present and protect larger pies, quiches, tarts and chilled desserts with our GPI Patipack XG244 Clear Hinged Pie Containers. Supplied in a wholesale case of 160 complete containers, they are a practical packaging choice for bakeries, patisseries, cafés, caterers, supermarkets, farm shops and food retailers.
The XG244 uses a one-piece hinged design, so the clear lid remains attached to the base during packing and service. Its transparent construction keeps the product visible without repeatedly opening the container, making it particularly useful for bakery counters, chilled display cabinets, customer collection and takeaway.
Each container has a stated 235mm bottom diameter, widens to approximately 265mm across the top and has an overall height of 50mm. This larger format can accommodate appropriately sized pies, quiches, flans, tarts, cheesecakes and other shallow bakery or dessert products.

Ideal for Large Pies, Quiches, Tarts & Desserts
The GPI Patipack XG244 is particularly useful for larger bakery products 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
- Chilled puddings
- Bakery products prepared for customer collection
Always measure the finished food product rather than relying only on the diameter of the baking tin. Pastry rims, toppings, piped cream, fruit and other decoration can increase the overall dimensions considerably.
Understanding the XG244 Dimensions
The XG244 has a tapered profile rather than completely straight sides. Its stated dimensions are:
- 235mm bottom diameter: the approximate width across the lower part of the container.
- 265mm top diameter: the approximate width across the upper rim.
- 50mm overall height: the approximate external container height.
The usable internal dimensions can be slightly smaller because of the container walls, base design, upper rim and closure. For this reason, a finished pie that measures exactly 235mm across may leave insufficient clearance, particularly where it has a wider pastry edge.
Check both the diameter and height of the completed product before ordering, especially for quiches with fluted pastry edges or desserts with raised toppings.
Clear Packaging for Bakery & Chilled Displays
The transparent construction helps keep pies and desserts clearly visible in bakery counters and chilled retail displays.
This can help businesses:
- Show pastry colour and decorative finishes
- Display fruit, cream and other toppings
- Allow staff to identify products quickly
- Create an organised bakery-counter presentation
- Allow customers to view products before purchase
- Reduce unnecessary opening during order checks
Product labels, ingredient information, allergen information, pricing or branding may be applied where required. Position labels carefully so they do not unnecessarily cover 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 hinged unit, so separate bases and lids are not required.
Packing & Handling Guidance
- Allow baked products to cool before packing unless suitability for hot filling is specifically confirmed.
- Place the open container on a clean, level surface.
- Position the pie, quiche or dessert centrally inside the base.
- Check that pastry edges and toppings remain within the available space.
- Lower the attached hinged lid carefully over the product.
- Align the lid and base evenly around the rim.
- Check that the closure is properly engaged before moving the container.
- Support the container from underneath when carrying it.
- Keep delicate bakery products level during collection and transport.
- Use suitable outer packaging where additional protection is required.
The container helps protect suitable products during normal display and handling, but delicate pastries, toppings and decorations should still be transported carefully.

Storage & Usage Guidance
Store unused XG244 containers in their original packaging in a clean, dry area. Protect them from dust, crushing, strong odours and direct sources of heat.
These containers are intended primarily for bakery and dessert presentation, chilled display, collection and takeaway. 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 suitability for hot filling.
No airtight or leakproof performance is stated for this product. It should therefore not be relied upon for loose liquids or foods that require a guaranteed liquid-tight seal.
Businesses requiring confirmation of exact material composition, temperature limits or a particular food-contact standard should refer to the relevant manufacturer documentation.
