Product Description
This Araven GN 1/2 food storage container is an ABS plastic container sized to fit standard gastronorm refrigeration and bain-marie systems. It comes supplied with a lid, a set of colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean label panel for identifying contents and supporting food rotation. The blue colour coding is commonly used to indicate a specific food type or allergen category under kitchen HACCP procedures.
ABS is a practical choice for prep and cold storage environments. It holds its shape at low temperatures and tolerates the heat of a commercial dishwasher cycle, making it straightforward to turn around during a busy service. The material is notably lighter than stainless steel gastronorm pans of equivalent capacity, which reduces fatigue during repeated handling. The clip-seal lid keeps stored product secure during transit between stations and helps maintain correct holding conditions in the fridge.
- Colour-coded system supports allergen separation and HACCP compliance
- Wipe-clean label panel simplifies date labelling and rotation
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
- Lightweight ABS construction reduces handling fatigue
- Clip-seal lid retains contents securely during fridge and transit use
This container is well suited to kitchens that already operate a gastronorm storage system and need additional capacity in a specific colour-code category. It sits at the shallower end of the 1/2 GN depth range, making it a reasonable choice for prepared garnishes, portioned proteins, or sauces rather than bulk storage. Deeper 1/2 GN containers are available where greater volume is needed.
If you're building out a colour-coded storage system or are unsure which depths and configurations suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The GN 1/2 footprint is a standard size that fits the shelf runners and rail systems found in most commercial gastronorm refrigerators, prep fridges, and cold rooms. It will also sit correctly in bain-marie and saladette units configured for GN 1/2 pans.
- At 200mm deep, this is one of the deeper options in the GN 1/2 range, giving a reasonable volume for sauces, portioned proteins, or prepared garnishes. If you need shallower containers for display or saladette use, or additional depth for bulk prep storage, alternative depths are available within the same range.
- The colour-coded clip system is designed to support visual identification of container contents or food categories, which is commonly applied in allergen separation protocols. The supplied wipe-clean label panel also helps with date labelling and rotation records. Operators should ensure their specific HACCP procedures align with whichever colour-coding convention they adopt across the kitchen.
