Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Loaf, a bustling bakery in Whitby, was struggling with a chaotic walk-in fridge. They were using a mix of flimsy containers and  disposable labels that would peel off in the damp conditions, leading to confusion and  waste.

"We were wasting so much time trying to figure out what was what. The Araven containers changed everything. The permanent labels are fantastic – a quick wipe and  they’re ready for the next batch. Our fridges have never been so organised."

Robert Davies – Owner

After switching to the Araven system, The Harbour Loaf reduced its daily food prep time by 20% and  saw a measurable drop in food spoilage.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the container a thorough wash before its first use.
  • Use a non-permanent, washable marker for the traceability label.
  • If using lids (sold separately), ensure they snap on securely for an airtight seal.
  • Integrate them into your existing GN-compatible shelving and  prep stations.

Keeping It Going

  • The container is dishwasher safe, but avoid using abrasive scourers which can scratch the plastic.
  • Ensure the container is completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture build-up.
  • Regularly check for any cracks or damage, especially after exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Wipe the traceability label clean after each use to keep it ready for the next item.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Here's a quick guide to help you pick the perfect food storage solutions.

Material Matters

Plastic like this Araven container is lightweight, versatile, and  great for seeing contents. Stainless steel is incredibly durable but heavier and  opaque. Choose based on your primary use.

Get Your Sizes Right

Gastronorm (GN) is a standard European sizing system. A 'GN 1/4' container like this will fit perfectly into compatible service counters and  fridges, so check your equipment's GN size.

Lid Logic

Airtight lids are essential for preserving freshness and  preventing spills. Check if lids are included or, like in this case, sold separately, and  ensure they match the container size.

Temperature Tolerance

Always check if a container is freezer, microwave, and  dishwasher safe. A versatile container that can handle a wide temperature range saves you time and  washing up.

Stack & Store

In a cramped kitchen, space is gold. Look for containers that are designed to stack securely, both with and  without lids, to maximise your fridge and  shelf space.

Say Goodbye to Sticky Labels: The Permanent Traceability System Explained

Ever spent ages scrubbing sticky residue off a container, or found a crucial date label has fallen off in the fridge? Araven's permanent traceability label is designed to end that frustration for good. Think of it as a small, built-in whiteboard on every single container.

You simply use a non-permanent marker to jot down the contents, prep date, use-by date, or any other info your HACCP plan requires. The writing stays clear and  legible in the fridge or freezer. When you're done, it washes off completely in the dishwasher or with a quick wipe, leaving no mess or sticky ghosts behind. It’s a simple, reusable system that ensures you’re always compliant, reduces waste from disposable labels, and  makes stock rotation practically foolproof.
