Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The permanent traceability label is brilliant for upholding HACCP standards effortlessly.
  • Con: The small, separate colour clips could get misplaced in a hectic environment.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Salisbury Pantry', a popular deli in Wiltshire, were struggling with their old mix-and-match containers, which led to disorganised fridges and  unnecessary food spoilage.

"Switching to the Araven system has been a breath of fresh air. We know exactly what's in each box and when it was prepped, thanks to the labels. The fridges have never been so tidy, and  our prep workflow is so much smoother."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

After implementation, Salisbury Pantry reported that their morning prep process was consistently 25% faster and  they had visibly reduced their weekly ingredient waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the containers and  lids a thorough wash before their first use.
  • Decide on your colour-code system (e.g., red for raw meat, green for veg) and  let your team know.
  • Use a non-permanent, dry-wipe marker for the integrated labels for best results.
  • Match the lid to the container for a secure, airtight seal.

Keeping It Going

  • These containers are fully dishwasher safe, making clean-up a breeze.
  • To protect the surface and  the label, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads.
  • Ensure containers are completely dry before stacking them for storage to prevent moisture build-up.
  • Keep the small coloured clips in a designated pot so they are always easy to find.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to picking the perfect food container for your kitchen.

Material Matters

Polypropylene is a fantastic all-rounder. It's lightweight, durable, and  safe for freezers, microwaves, and  dishwashers, offering maximum flexibility.

Check the Size

Consider what you'll be storing most often. Gastronorm (GN) sizes are a brilliant choice as they fit standard racks, counters, and  appliances seamlessly.

Look for Airtight Lids

A snug-fitting, airtight lid is non-negotiable. It keeps food fresh, prevents contamination, and  stops messy spills during transport or in the fridge.

Prioritise Compliance

Features like colour-coding and  integrated labels aren't just nice-to-haves; they are vital tools for maintaining HACCP standards and  managing allergens.

Think About Stacking

Good containers should stack neatly and  securely. This is a simple feature that makes a massive difference in maximising your precious shelf and  fridge space.

Q: Are the lids included with these food containers?

A: Yes, each of the four containers in this pack comes with its own corresponding airtight lid.

Q: Are these containers stackable when full?

A: Absolutely. They are designed with a reinforced rim and  lid to allow for safe and  stable stacking, helping you save space.

Q: What kind of pen should I use on the permanent label?

A: For best results and  easy cleaning, we recommend using a non-permanent, dry-wipe style marker pen.

Q: Can I put these straight from the freezer into the microwave?

What Customers Are Saying

Say Goodbye to Sticky Labels: The Permanent Marker Advantage

Ever spent ages scrubbing sticky residue off a container, or found a soggy, unreadable paper label floating in the sink? Araven's permanent, wipe-clean label is designed to end that frustration. It’s an integrated part of the container mould, so it can't peel off, tear, or wash away. You simply use a special non-permanent marker to note down the contents, date, or allergen info. Think of it like a tiny, reusable whiteboard on every single food container. When you're done, it wipes clean with a simple cloth, ready for the next use. It's a small feature that saves a huge amount of time and  ensures your food traceability is always clear and  professional.
