Airtight Container ARAVEN AR03028

Airtight food storage containers create a sealed environment that slows oxidation and moisture loss, keeping ingredients fresh longer than open trays or cling film. The lid's double lip presses against the rim of the container, blocking air exchange. When the lid is closed, a small channel in the seal allows excess air to escape, reducing the oxygen that reaches the food and extending its shelf life without vacuum equipment.

To use the container, place prepared food inside, align the lid with the rim and press down until the seal engages. A tab on the lid gives a firm grip for opening, even with wet or greasy hands. Once the lid is removed, the container stacks with other GastroNorm sizes for compact storage in refrigerators, cupboards or transport trolleys.

The container is made of food-safe polypropylene with an integrated IML traceability label. The lid is the same material, with a double airtight lip and a raised tab for opening. Both parts are dishwasher-safe and can be nested when empty to save space.

The 265 mm by 162 mm footprint matches the GN1/4 standard, fitting standardised worktops, shelves and trolleys. The 150 mm height holds 4.3 litres, enough for sauces, prepped vegetables or portioned proteins without overfilling. The weight remains light for easy handling, while the rigid walls protect contents during transport.

Cleaning follows from the materials: polypropylene withstands repeated washing in commercial dishwashers, and the smooth surfaces release food residue without scrubbing. The lid's seal should be checked periodically for wear and replaced if the lip becomes cracked or flattened.

Colour-coded clips are available separately to help organise stored ingredients by type, day or kitchen section.
