Sistema Food Storage at Everyday Home Living
Sistema is a New Zealand brand and one of the most popular food storage container brands in Australia and the Pacific. Founded in 1982, Sistema produces a comprehensive range of BPA-free plastic food storage containers, drink bottles, and lunchboxes that are designed for everyday household use. The Klip It Plus range is the brand's flagship storage line, featuring an airtight clip-seal lid mechanism that keeps food fresh for longer. Our Sistema range covers the Klip It Plus container collection in a range of sizes for pantry and fridge storage.
Sistema Klip It Plus Containers
The Sistema Klip It Plus system uses a hinged clip-latch lid that creates an airtight seal on four sides of the container, keeping dry goods, leftovers, and prepared foods fresher for longer than standard snap-lid or loose-fitting containers. Available in square and rectangular configurations across multiple sizes from 900ml through to 10L, the Klip It Plus range suits pantry storage of flour, sugar, pasta, cereals, and other dry goods as well as fridge storage for prepared meals and leftovers.
The containers are made from BPA-free food-grade plastic, are top-rack dishwasher safe, and are designed to stack neatly for space-efficient pantry and fridge organisation. Clear sides make contents visible without opening, and the various sizes stack together for tidy storage when empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Sistema containers microwave safe?
Most Sistema containers are not designed for microwave heating with the lid closed, as the airtight clip seal can build up steam pressure. For microwave use, remove the lid or loosen the clips to allow steam to escape before heating. Some Sistema microwave-specific containers in the range include a vent function in the lid. Check the base of your specific container for the microwave-safe symbol, as compatibility varies by product line.
Can Sistema Klip It Plus containers be used in the freezer?
Yes. Sistema Klip It Plus containers are freezer safe. The BPA-free plastic is rated for freezer temperatures and the clip-seal lid maintains a good seal at low temperatures, making the containers suitable for freezing soups, sauces, prepared meals, and other foods. Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer to avoid thermal stress on the plastic. Avoid overfilling containers before freezing as liquids expand when frozen.
