Set tray dimensions from the served portion

Measure the food or inner container in the way it will be served, including toppings, sides or a sauce pot if they share the tray. State the portion count and whether the tray is used for display, counter service, takeaway or delivery. Include how the food is placed and removed.

Describe service temperature and contact

These use details matter when reviewing the proposed material. Do not assume a tray is suitable for a particular temperature, food or appliance without written confirmation for that use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size food tray suits a meal?

A generic size can be misleading for Food Tray Packaging. Send the packed product dimensions and note any clearance or padding you need; the final inside size can then be checked against the chosen structure.

Will the tray hold wet or oily food?

For hot, oily or damp food, describe the serving and storage conditions before choosing a pack. A liner or coating is not assumed to be included; suitability and any added cost are confirmed for the exact specification.

Which board is used for food trays?

There is no single board grade for all specifications of Food Tray Packaging. Tell us what will go inside and how it will be stored, displayed or shipped; the selected grade is confirmed against that brief.

Can I print my restaurant logo on the tray?

Yes, your logo can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour.

Can food trays have a lid?

Add the lid you have in mind to your brief, along with the dimensions, artwork and quantity. Availability, material and any added cost for Food Tray Packaging are confirmed in the quote before approval.

Are food trays food-safe?

If food will touch the inside of the pack, include the food type and whether it is hot, oily or damp in your brief. Suitability depends on the exact board, inks, coating and liner, so it must be confirmed for the intended use before production.

Can food trays be stacked in a kitchen?

There is no universal weight rating for Food Tray Packaging. Include the product weight, pack-out and handling route so the proposed structure can be reviewed before production.

How long does it take to get food trays?

The production schedule is confirmed in the written quote after the final artwork and specification are approved. Include your delivery postcode and required date so the delivery plan can be checked too.
