Full Description

Made from coated or uncoated paperboard, cardboard trays are lightweight yet rigid, making them suitable for both food and non-food packaging. Their sturdy construction supports ready meals, baked goods, snacks, and fresh produce, while their clean finish makes them ideal for direct serving in cafés, takeaways, and catering environments.

Trays can be supplied plain or fully printed, allowing space for branding, ingredients, and compliance information. A moisture-resistant coating can also be added to protect against grease or liquids, extending durability for hot or chilled applications.

Available in a range of shapes and depths, cardboard trays are suitable for single-serve, multi-portion, and display packaging. They can be sealed with film or lids using Traysealer and Flow Wrapper systems or used as open-serve containers for bakery and grab-and-go foods.

As a recyclable and compostable option, cardboard trays support sustainability goals without compromising performance, shelf appeal, or food safety.
