A GUIDE TO GASTRONORM SIZING
Gastronorm sizes are given as a fraction with a full size container code being ‘1/1 GN’. Sizing can be indicated with and without the ‘GN’. The sizing system represents the container length and width, depth is usually shown as a metric measurement, e.g. millimetres. Each container can have a different depth that will therefore vary individual capacities.
Here is a list of gastronorm container sizes along with the metric dimension:
1/1
2/1
• 1/9 GN: 108 x 176 mm • 1/6 GN: 176 x 162 mm • 1/4 GN: 265 x 162 mm (quarter size) • 1/3 GN: 325 x 176 mm • 1/2 GN: 325 x 265 mm (half size) • 2/3 GN: 354 x 325 mm • 1/1 GN: 530 x 325 mm (full size) • 2/1 GN: 650 x 530 mm (double size)

Gastronorm containers can be interchangable due to the fractional sizing system. For example, if a serving counter has a 1/1 GN capacity, it's possible to use combinations of containers such as 2 x 1/2 GN or one 2/3 GN and a 1/3 GN.
