Product Description
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical, everyday storage solution for commercial kitchens. Each container is full 1/1 GN size and holds 13.7 litres, supplied as a pack of four complete with lids. They are made from food-safe polypropylene and are designed to stack neatly in refrigeration, cold rooms, or dry storage racking.
In a busy kitchen environment, storage containers take a great deal of daily handling. Polypropylene resists warping and impact better than thinner-gauge plastics, and these containers are rated down to -40°C, making them equally suitable for blast-chilled or frozen product as they are for ambient prep storage. The lids fit closely enough to protect contents without requiring force to remove during service.
A few features that make these containers practical for day-to-day kitchen use:
- Colour-coded clips included (red, yellow, green, blue) to support allergen and cross-contamination control systems
- Permanent wipe-clean label panel for date coding and content identification
- Dishwasher safe, allowing them to go through a commercial rack washer without degrading
- Stackable profile makes efficient use of shelf and fridge space
These containers sit within the standard GN system, so they are compatible with most commercial refrigeration, gastronorm tables, and shelving designed around that format. They are not insulated or suitable for bain-marie or direct heat use — they are cold and ambient storage containers only.
Well suited to most commercial kitchens: restaurants, school catering, care homes, event catering, and prep kitchens that need a reliable, stackable, colour-codeable storage solution. For operations running very high volumes with more frequent replacement cycles, heavier-gauge alternatives may be worth considering.
If you are looking to standardise storage across a kitchen or need guidance on quantities for a particular setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The polypropylene material is rated down to -40°C, so these containers are appropriate for blast-chilled or frozen storage. They should not be used directly in a bain-marie, oven, or any heated application — they are designed for cold and ambient storage only.
- Each container comes with a set of four clips in red, yellow, green, and blue, which clip onto the lid to visually flag the contents. Many kitchens assign a colour to a specific allergen category or food type as part of their HACCP system. The clips are removable, so the same containers can be reassigned as your storage needs change.
- The 100mm depth and 13.7-litre capacity suits bulk prep storage, portioned ingredients, and refrigerated mise en place in most kitchen sizes. If you are storing larger volumes — for example in a high-throughput production kitchen or central prep facility — a deeper 1/1 GN container may be more efficient. Equally, for smaller quantities or tighter shelf space, a shallower option may work better. If you are unsure what combination works for your setup, it is worth having a conversation before ordering in quantity.
