Folded Paper Food Trays

Folded Paper Food Trays

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Open-Top, Easy-Access Packaging for Snacks and Sides

Our Folded Paper Food Trays provide a quick, simple, and hygienic serving solution for snacks, sides, and finger foods. These open-top containers are perfect for high-traffic environments like stadiums, food courts, and takeaway spots where ease of access and quick service are paramount. Designed to be assembled instantly, they reduce service time and eliminate the need for washing dishes.

Grease-Proof Design and Stability

The trays are constructed from a single piece of rigid paperboard with folded and locked corners, providing excellent structural stability. We incorporate a robust grease-resistant coating (usually PE or a high-barrier treatment) to prevent oil or moisture from seeping through, ensuring the tray remains clean and the customer's hands stay dry. They are the go-to solution for greasy items like fries, nachos, hot dogs, and onion rings.

Versatile Sizing and Branding Simplicity

Available in various sizes, from small tasting portions to large family-size chip trays, our range is highly versatile. The wide, flat inner surface allows for high-visibility branding and custom messaging, crucial for concessions and sports events. The simplicity of the design makes custom printing economical, providing maximum brand exposure at a competitive unit cost.
