Delivery Information

Price Match

These Araven polypropylene food storage containers are made to the standard 1/2 gastronorm footprint, meaning they sit correctly in gastronorm-compatible fridges, cold wells, and prep table inserts without adjustment. Each container in this pack of four holds 4 litres and is supplied with a fitted lid, a set of colour-coding clips in red, yellow, green, and blue, and a permanent wipe-clean label on the side for contents identification and date marking.

In a working kitchen, the practical value of a consistent colour-coding system is hard to overstate. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination, supports allergen management, and makes food rotation straightforward for any member of the team, regardless of experience. The labelling panel holds well under daily wipe-downs and does not require separate adhesive labels or tape.

  • Standard 1/2 GN footprint fits gastronorm-compatible storage and service equipment
  • Colour-coding clips support allergen and dietary separation without additional labelling systems
  • Polypropylene construction is durable, odour-resistant, and safe for dishwasher use
  • Wide operating temperature range suits chilled storage, ambient prep, and gentle reheating
  • Supplied as a pack of four — practical for multi-shift or high-turnover prep environments

Polypropylene is a practical choice for general food storage. It is lighter than stainless steel alternatives, less prone to cracking under temperature shock than some other plastics, and straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. These containers are not intended for high-temperature cooking or direct heat.

This size and format is well suited to prep kitchens, sandwich and deli counters, catering operations, and care home or school kitchens where standardised storage and clear food rotation procedures are required. For sites handling significantly larger prep volumes, deeper or full 1/1 GN containers from the same range may be worth considering.

If you are looking to standardise your food storage across a kitchen or need guidance on quantities for a specific operation, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

Will these containers fit in a standard gastronorm refrigerator or cold well?

Yes — they follow the standard 1/2 GN footprint, so they will seat correctly in any gastronorm-compatible refrigerator, blast chiller, or cold prep insert designed to that standard. If you are unsure whether your existing equipment is gastronorm-compatible, it is worth checking the interior dimensions before ordering.

Are these suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

They are dishwasher-safe and designed to withstand regular cleaning cycles in a commercial environment. The lids and colour-coding clips should be removed before washing to ensure thorough cleaning of all surfaces.

How do the colour-coding clips support allergen management?

Each container comes with clips in four colours — red, yellow, green, and blue — which can be assigned to specific allergen categories or dietary requirements according to your kitchen's own protocol. This provides a quick visual identifier without relying solely on handwritten labels, which is particularly useful in fast-paced prep environments where multiple team members are working simultaneously.
