These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical, everyday storage solution for commercial kitchens. Sized to the 1/3 GN standard, they drop straight into standard gastronorm refrigeration, bain-maries, and storage racks without adjustment. The pack of four makes them well suited to setting up a consistent colour-coded prep or storage system from the outset.

Polypropylene construction gives these containers a good balance of durability and lightweight handling. They tolerate a wide temperature range — from frozen storage through to warm-hold conditions — which means the same container can move between the cold room, the prep bench, and service without needing to swap vessels. That flexibility is useful during busy service periods where reducing handling steps matters.

  • Colour-coded clip sets included (red, yellow, green and blue) to support allergen or food-type separation
  • Permanent wipe-clean label on each container for clear identification
  • Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
  • Airtight lid design helps maintain product quality in refrigerated storage
  • 1/3 GN footprint fits standard gastronorm shelving and refrigeration

These containers are best suited to kitchens that need reliable, stackable storage at an accessible price point — high-volume operations running multiple prep stations, dark kitchens, or any site where containers take regular daily use and need to be easily replaceable. They are a sensible choice where a large quantity of uniform storage is needed rather than a single premium vessel.

If you are setting up a larger storage system or need guidance on matching container sizes to your refrigeration configuration, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these containers suitable for use in refrigeration as well as warm-hold service?

Yes — the polypropylene material is rated across a wide temperature range, making these containers suitable for cold storage and moderate warm-hold conditions. They are not designed for direct oven or intense heat exposure, so check your specific service setup if you intend to use them in a bain-marie for extended periods.

How does the colour-coding system work in practice?

Each container comes with a set of four coloured clips — red, yellow, green, and blue — which clip to the lid to allow quick visual identification. Many kitchens use colour coding to separate allergen-risk foods, raw and ready-to-eat products, or different menu components. The system only works consistently if the whole team follows the same protocol, so it is worth establishing that before rolling containers out across multiple stations.

Are these containers suitable for high-volume operations, or better suited to smaller kitchens?

They work well in both contexts. In high-volume operations, the value of this pack format is that containers can be replaced affordably when they reach end of life rather than requiring careful stock management of expensive vessels. For smaller kitchens, four containers at this size often covers a good proportion of standard prep and storage needs. If you are equipping a larger operation and need to work out quantities across multiple GN sizes, it is worth speaking with us before placing a bulk order.
