Expert Review and Insights
Araven have really thought about the daily grind of a professional kitchen with this one. It's not just another plastic box; the built-in label and colour clips are genuinely useful features that streamline food safety.

- Practical Compliance: The traceability label and colour clips are brilliant for HACCP management.
- Lid Care: The flexible lid is great but avoid direct, intense heat to prevent warping.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Bristol was struggling with flimsy, single-use containers and messy labelling, which wasted time and risked food safety compliance during their hectic lunch service.
"Switching to the Araven containers has streamlined our whole prep process. The permanent labels mean no more peeling sticky bits off, and the colour clips give us instant visual cues for allergens. It’s so much cleaner and more professional."
David Chen – Owner
Since the switch, they've cut their daily labelling time by over 30% and completely eliminated cross-contamination errors during busy periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the container and lid a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Select the correct colour clip for your food type and simply snap it into place on the container.
- Use a standard non-permanent, food-safe marker pen for writing on the traceability label.
- Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly on all sides to create a fully airtight seal.
Keeping It Going
- The container is fully dishwasher safe, but placing it on the top rack is always best practice.
- To keep it looking its best, avoid using abrasive scourers on the container or the traceability panel.
- When nesting the containers for storage, make sure they are completely dry first to prevent moisture build-up.
- The perforated handles are specially designed to help them dry faster when hung up or placed in a rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the container and lid BPA-free?
A: Yes, absolutely. Araven containers are manufactured from food-safe polypropylene and are completely BPA-free.
Q: What kind of marker should I use on the traceability label?
A: A simple non-permanent (whiteboard) marker pen works perfectly. It writes clearly and wipes clean easily with a damp cloth.
Q: Can I put hot food in this container?
A: Yes, it's rated for use up to 95°C, so it's fine for holding hot foods. However, it's always best to let boiling liquids cool slightly first.
Q: How do the colour clips work?
A: You get a set of seven coloured clips. You simply snap the appropriate colour onto the container to identify its contents, for example, red for raw meat or green for vegetables.
Q: Is the lid easy to take off?
A: Yes, the LDPE lid is designed to be flexible and features a small tab on one corner, which makes opening it very straightforward, even when cold.
Q: Does the material stain with things like tomato sauce or curry?
A: Polypropylene is highly resistant to staining and odours, which makes it ideal for storing things like bolognese, curry, or other colourful sauces.
Q: Are the measurements on the side in ml or oz?
A: The integrated measuring scale handily shows both millilitres (ml) and fluid ounces (fl oz) for your convenience.
Q: Can this 2 litre polypropylene food storage container be used in a microwave?
A: While polypropylene is generally microwave-safe, we always recommend loosening the lid to allow steam to vent before heating.
The Araven Advantage: Smarter Storage for Serious Kitchens
Araven isn't just about making boxes; they're about creating systems for food professionals. This polypropylene gastronorm container 2 litre is a prime example of that philosophy. The real value isn't just in its sturdy build, but in the accumulated time and stress it saves your team every single day. The integrated traceability label eliminates the recurring cost and faff of disposable stickers. The colour-coding system reduces the mental load on busy staff and drastically cuts the risk of critical cross-contamination errors. Over its long lifespan, this container becomes a small but powerful investment in consistency, safety, and operational efficiency that pays for itself many times over in saved labour and peace of mind during health inspections.

Think of it like the permanent name tag on a school uniform versus a sticky note that falls off in the wash. Standard food labels can peel off in the fridge, get smudged, or become unreadable in a steamy kitchen. Araven's built-in label is part of the container itself. You can write on it with a non-permanent marker, wash it off, and start again. This gives you a clean, reliable, and reusable way to track food origin, prep dates, and use-by dates, ensuring you’re always compliant with food safety laws without the daily faff of peeling and sticking new labels.
