Hettich OrgaTray 440 Cutlery Insert — White

$20.80

A precision-moulded drawer insert that brings systematic order to kitchen cutlery storage without compromising drawer depth.

The OrgaTray 440 is engineered specifically for Hettich drawer systems, with a 55mm tray height calibrated to sit cleanly within ArciTech (94mm side profile) and InnoTech Atira (70mm side profile) drawer boxes. The white polypropylene construction resists staining and wipes clean without absorbing odours — a practical consideration in high-use kitchen environments. Width variants span 201mm to 1150mm, making it viable across the full range of standard cabinet configurations from single-door base units to wide island drawers.

Materials & Finish

  • Injection-moulded polypropylene in a clean white finish
  • 55mm tray height — compatible with ArciTech (94mm) and InnoTech Atira (70mm) drawer side profiles
  • Modular design accepts optional knife holder and spice rack accessories
  • Smooth internal surfaces for easy wipe-down maintenance
  • Width range: 201mm–1150mm across 12 size variants

What Works Well With It

The OrgaTray 440 suits handleless and shaker-profile cabinetry equally well, where clean internal organisation reinforces the overall design intent. It performs best in kitchens with a considered, uncluttered aesthetic — particularly those using white or light timber laminate interiors where the tray's neutral tone disappears into the drawer box. Pairs naturally with Hettich ArciTech or InnoTech Atira drawer systems already specified in the project.

Answers from experts.

Using Drawer Trays Without Hettich Drawers

Will this tray fit if I don't have Hettich drawers?

Yes, the OrgaTray 440 is designed as a universal solution. While it is pre-optimised for Hettich ArciTech and InnoTech Atira systems, the plastic borders are intentionally manufactured with a wide flange. This allows you to trim the tray down to the exact internal dimensions of almost any standard kitchen drawer, ensuring a snug, movement-free fit.

Trimming Drawer Trays To Fit

How do I trim the tray to fit my specific drawer size?

The tray is made from robust, high-quality plastic, so you will need a sharp utility knife (Stanley knife) and a straight edge, or a fine-toothed saw for the best result. We recommend measuring your drawer's internal base twice before marking the cut line. Score the plastic deeply several times if using a knife, then snap it clean, or saw gently to avoid splintering the edge.

Preventing Plastic Drawer Tray Stains

Will the white plastic stain or scratch over time?

The OrgaTray 440 uses a high-grade, non-porous plastic that is highly resistant to staining from common kitchen residues like sauce or coffee. While metal utensils can technically mark any material over years of heavy use, this textured finish helps conceal minor surface abrasions, keeping the tray looking fresh for much longer than cheaper, glossy alternatives.

Plastic Vs Timber Drawer Inserts

Is this the right choice compared to a timber or steel insert?

Plastic is the superior choice for high-traffic family kitchens where hygiene and maintenance are priorities. Unlike timber, which can absorb moisture and harbour bacteria, or steel, which can be noisy, the OrgaTray 440 is silent, easy to wipe down, and completely waterproof. It offers the best balance of practicality and clean aesthetics.

Fixing Drawer Trays Cut Too Short

What if I cut the tray too short?

Cutting the tray too small is the most common installation error. To avoid this, we strongly suggest cutting the tray slightly larger than your measurement first (leave 1-2mm extra). Test the fit, and then shave off the excess specifically where it binds. You can always take more off, but you cannot add it back on.

Upgrading Drawer Organisation Later

Can I upgrade the organisation later?

Yes. The OrgaTray 440 is part of a modular system. You can easily add compatible Hettich accessories, such as knife blocks or spice holders, which slot securely into the existing compartments. This allows your drawer organisation to evolve as your cooking habits or utensil collection changes over the years.
