  • Practical for Audits: The built-in traceability label is brilliant for keeping EHO inspectors happy.
  • Lid Not Included: Just remember to order the matching lids for a truly airtight seal.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Kitchen, a bustling seafood spot in Whitby, needed to standardise their prep process to handle the summer rush. They replaced their jumble of old containers with a full set of Araven GN 1/4 containers.

"The permanent labels are fantastic. No more fiddling with sticky tape that falls off in the fridge. We can see prep dates at a glance, our stock rotation is spot on, and  our last EHO visit was the smoothest one yet. It’s the simple things that make a huge difference."

Liam O'Connell – Head Chef

The change resulted in a measurable 20% decrease in prep-related food waste and  saved the team nearly an hour each day on labelling and  organising.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the container a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Use a food-safe, non-permanent marker on the integrated label for best results.
  • Remember to grab the matching GN 1/4 lids (sold separately) to create an airtight seal.
  • Stack them neatly on shelves or in fridges to make the most of your space.

Keeping It Going

  • The container is completely dishwasher safe for a hassle-free clean.
  • Avoid using abrasive pads or scourers to keep the plastic clear and  scratch-free.
  • The erasable label wipes clean with just water or a damp cloth.
  • Regularly check for any chips or cracks to maintain the highest food safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage Container

Not sure which container is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

Material Matters

Always look for BPA-free plastic for food safety. An ABS container like this one is known for being durable and  resistant to stains and  odours.

Get the Size Right

Gastronorm (GN) sizing is the industry standard. A GN 1/4 container fits perfectly in most professional prep counters, fridges, and  serveries.

Lids and  Seals

Do you need an airtight seal for liquids or to maximise freshness? Check if lids are included or, like here, sold separately to match.

Temperature Versatility

A container that can go from freezer to microwave saves you time and  washing up. Always check the product's temperature range to be sure.

A Smart Labelling System

Good labelling is non-negotiable for food safety. Integrated, erasable labels are a modern solution that beats sticky paper every time.

No More Peeling: How the Permanent Label System Works for You

Ever spent ages scraping sticky, gummy label residue off a container? The Araven permanent label is designed to end that frustration for good. Think of it like a mini reusable whiteboard built right into the side of your food storage container. You simply use a non-permanent marker to jot down the contents, prep date, use-by date, or any other vital info. When you're done, it washes off effortlessly in the sink or dishwasher, leaving a clean, clear surface ready for the next use. This system makes daily food safety checks quicker, clearer, and  more reliable than paper labels that can fall off, smudge, or become unreadable when wet.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for prepping ingredients, marinating meats, and  organising walk-in fridges for a smoother service.
  • Busy Cafés: Store pre-sliced sandwich fillings, salad components, or baked goods, keeping them fresh and  ready to go.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: Ideal for displaying and  storing olives, cheeses, or prepared salads hygienically and  attractively.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A durable, stackable, and  secure food storage container for kitchens on the move.
