Product Description
This Araven food storage container is a GN 1/1 sized box moulded from ABS plastic, supplied in blue as part of a colour-coded system designed to support allergen management and food rotation in busy kitchens. It comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for recording contents and dates.
In day-to-day kitchen use, colour-coded storage is one of the more practical ways to reduce cross-contamination risk and keep prep areas organised during a busy service. The blue designation fits naturally into most HACCP-based colour separation systems. The airtight lid and locking clips help maintain freshness and prevent spillage when containers are stacked or moved between areas — useful in walk-in fridges or during transit from prep to service.
The material handles a working temperature range from well below freezing to near-boiling point, which means these containers move comfortably between cold storage, ambient prep, and gentle heat without warping or degrading. They are both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time and simplifies end-of-service cleaning routines.
- Colour-coded blue designation supports allergen and food type separation
- Airtight lid with locking clips reduces spillage and maintains freshness
- Wipe-clean label panel aids content identification and date rotation
- Dishwasher safe construction keeps cleaning straightforward
- GN 1/1 footprint fits standard gastronorm storage racks and shelving
This size suits kitchens storing larger batch-prepped items — stocks, marinades, bulk salads, or portioned proteins. For operations requiring shallower depths or different GN fractions, other sizes within the same range are worth considering. If you are building out a full colour-coded storage system or are unsure which sizes suit your volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Blue is commonly used within HACCP colour-coded systems for raw fish, though individual kitchens may apply their own colour allocation protocols. The important thing is that your team applies the colour consistently within your own food safety documentation. The supplied colour-coded clips and label panel help reinforce whichever system you adopt.
- The ABS material handles temperatures from -40°C up to 90°C, so moving from cold storage to a microwave is within its working range. That said, it is worth allowing very heavily frozen contents to begin defrosting before applying direct heat, as rapid thermal shock to the contents rather than the container itself can affect food quality.
- The locking clips and flat lid design allow stable stacking, and the GN 1/1 footprint means they sit securely on standard wire shelving. Practical stack height will depend on your shelf spacing and the weight of contents — for very dense or liquid-heavy loads, keeping stacks to three or four high is a reasonable working guideline.
