The Gi.Metal food-grade polyethylene dough box in the standard European 60x40 cm format with a 10 cm height is the professional container for managing, proofing and transporting pizza, bread and bakery dough balls. Made of food-contact polyethylene with a smooth non-porous surface and reinforced lateral ribs, it keeps its shape even when fully loaded and stacks into stable, closed piles.
What a dough box is for
The dough box is the everyday tool of pizza makers and bakers for the bulk proof and the final proof of dough balls at controlled temperature. The closed, stackable design lets the dough rest protected from draughts and surface drying, while the food-grade polyethylene preserves the aroma and hydration of the dough during cold maturation.
The manufacturer Gi.Metal
Gi.Metal is a long-established Italian manufacturer of professional pizzeria equipment based in Montale, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany. Its dough boxes are designed for daily use in busy laboratories: smooth surfaces for fast cleaning, lateral ribbing for rigidity, and a modular system that stacks securely to save space.
Material and food safety
The box is made of high-density polyethylene suitable for direct food contact. The non-porous surface does not absorb odours or moisture, resists impact and temperature changes, and is quick to wash and sanitise, ensuring a hygienic environment for the dough.
Stackable and space-saving design
The boxes stack into stable piles even when combining different pieces, which makes them ideal for storage with considerable space savings in the laboratory and cold room, as well as for transport. The European 60x40 footprint matches box trolleys and standard worktops.
Professional uses
Use the box for the controlled-temperature proofing of pizza dough balls, for the cold maturation of high-hydration doughs, for resting bread and leavened products, and for the hygienic storage and transport of prepared dough. The 10 cm height leaves room for the dough balls to expand without touching the lid.
Pairings and complements
Pair the dough box with professional flours, dough scrapers, proofing trolleys and the rest of the Gi.Metal pizzeria range to build a complete, modular workflow from kneading to baking.
Logistics and delivery
LAPA supplies pizzerias, bakeries, patisseries and restaurants throughout Switzerland with delivery to Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern and Lausanne, using its own refrigerated fleet and partner couriers for areas not covered directly.
Who it is for
Designed for pizzerias, bakeries, patisseries and professional kitchens that manage dough in volume and need a hygienic, durable and stackable container for daily production.
