Product Description
These Araven polypropylene gastronorm containers are a practical food storage solution sized to the standard 1/2 GN footprint, making them compatible with most commercial refrigeration, bain maries, and prep counters. Supplied in a pack of four, each container is designed for the everyday demands of food prep, chilling, and short-term storage in a professional kitchen environment.
Polypropylene construction handles the temperature range that commercial kitchens routinely work across — from freezer storage through to hot-holding conditions — without warping or cracking. The material is robust enough for daily dishwasher cycles, and the smooth interior makes thorough cleaning straightforward, which matters when containers cycle through multiple food types during a service.
Each container comes with a set of colour-coding clips in four colours and a permanent, wipe-clean label panel. In a busy kitchen, this makes implementing a colour-coded allergen or food-type separation system simple without the need for additional labelling products.
- Colour-coding clips in red, yellow, green, and blue included with each unit
- Wipe-clean label panel for content identification and date rotation
- Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
- Compatible with standard 1/2 GN refrigeration and storage systems
- Suitable for freezer use through to warm food storage conditions
As polypropylene containers rather than stainless steel, these are not suitable for direct oven or flame use. They are best placed in the prep, storage, and cold-side workflow rather than on the hot line. The pack-of-four format is a practical quantity for operations that need consistent stock across multiple sections or fridges.
Well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school catering, and any operation looking to standardise food storage and rotation across a team. If your site uses a high volume of GN containers and you need deeper or larger capacities alongside these, our team can advise on complementary sizes within the Araven range.
If you are unsure which container sizes or quantities best fit your workflow, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The polypropylene material is rated down to -40°C, making these containers suitable for blast chilling and freezer storage without the risk of cracking or distortion. They are commonly used in cook-chill workflows where food moves from prep through chilling and into refrigerated storage.
- Each container is supplied with four colour-coded clips — red, yellow, green, and blue — which clip onto the container rim to visually identify contents by food type or allergen category. Combined with the wipe-clean label panel, this allows teams to implement a simple, consistent rotation and separation system without additional labelling equipment.
- These containers are suitable for warm food storage up to 95°C, which covers most bain marie holding temperatures, but they are not designed for direct oven use or open-flame contact. For hot-line or oven applications, stainless steel gastronorm pans would be the more appropriate choice.
