The trays are manufactured with 250-350gsm kraft or white paperboard, which complies with widely recognized international food contact safety standards. Three coating options are available to match different use needs: PE coating for general moisture resistance, PLA coating for fully plastic-free applications, and greaseproof coating for targeted oil containment. All base materials and printing inks undergo food safety testing, supporting direct use with ready-to-eat food items without additional lining.
The rigid, thick paperboard structure provides stable support for food portions within the rated capacity range. The trays maintain their shape when holding both hot prepared dishes and cold dessert items, reducing the risk of bending or deformation during transport, delivery, or on-site use. The lightweight build also helps lower overall shipping weight and associated logistics costs for bulk commercial orders.
The base paperboard comes from FSC-certified forestry sources, with recyclable properties that reduce reliance on single-use plastic packaging. For operations targeting plastic-free packaging systems, the PLA coating option provides a biodegradable alternative to traditional plastic coatings. This material alignment supports brands in meeting local environmental regulations and catering to eco-conscious consumer groups.
The trays fit multiple commercial use scenarios across the food service and retail sectors. For fast-food restaurants and food trucks, the trays hold fried items, burgers, and side dishes, with optional coating layers that prevent liquid transfer to outer packaging and customer hands. For catering and event services, the disposable design reduces on-site cleanup workload and staff labor input, with custom printing options to match event branding and client requirements. Cafés and dessert shops can use smaller tray sizes for pastries, cookies, ice cream servings, and tasting portions, supporting both regular service and promotional activities. In movie theaters and stadiums, the trays work for concession items such as popcorn, nachos, and candy, with an easy-to-hold design suitable for crowded venues and mobile consumption. Supermarket deli counters use the trays for pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, and ready-to-eat meals, supporting neat shelf display and short-term food preservation.
Buyers may select from standard sizes ranging from 250ml to 1500ml, or request custom capacity specifications to match specific menu portions. The manufacturing team adjusts tray dimensions based on individual product requirements and storage constraints.
Standard shapes include boat, rectangle, and square. Custom shape designs are also available, such as round trays for dip items or compartmentalized trays for combo meals, to align with functional needs and brand identity.
Buyers can choose among PE, PLA, and greaseproof coatings, with recommendations provided based on food type and sustainability goals. The technical team assists in selecting appropriate coating solutions for different menu categories.
The trays support flexo, digital, and offset printing with 1 to 8 colors or full-color designs. Buyers may add logos, brand color schemes, and product information to the tray surface. Artwork files in AI or PDF formats are accepted, with design support available to optimize print effects and production compatibility.
The minimum order quantity varies based on customization complexity. Standard unprinted designs have lower order thresholds, suitable for small businesses and temporary events. Detailed MOQ figures are provided upon request with specific customization requirements.
Yes, when paired with greaseproof or PE coating, the trays can be used with hot oily and saucy food items. The coating layer forms a barrier that prevents oil and moisture from penetrating the paperboard structure during normal serving conditions.
Existing stock samples are available with only delivery fees charged to the buyer. Custom samples with printed designs require a sample fee, which may be credited back against future bulk orders that meet specified volume thresholds.
