High Performance Disposable Food Trays

Our disposable food trays are engineered for strength, clean presentation, and sustainable performance. From standard options to fully customized designs, we help foodservice companies create packaging that performs reliably under real-world conditions.

Green Material Choices for Disposable Food Trays

Using advanced coating, die-cutting, and molding techniques, we produce food trays that combine strength, consistency, and quality. From natural kraft to compostable bagasse, each material offers unique performance benefits tailored to modern foodservice requirements.

Kraft Paper Food Tray

Kraft trays are formed through high-pressure die cutting that compresses the natural kraft fibers into a strong, single-wall structure. This process preserves the material’s natural toughness, giving the tray good rigidity and reliable oil control.

White Cardboard Food Tray

White cardboard trays use precision die cutting to achieve clean folds and accurate shapes. The smooth, coated surface responds well to printing and creates a crisp appearance, making these trays ideal for brands that prioritize visual presentation.

Corrugated Paper Food Trays

Corrugated trays are built by bonding fluted paper between linerboards, creating a lightweight but highly durable structure. The fluting increases load-bearing strength, making the trays suitable for heavier foods and situations that require extra stability.

The Value of Disposable Food Trays

Disposable food trays offer a unique balance of convenience, presentation, and functionality. Their open structure, serving efficiency, and cost effectiveness make them a preferred choice across many foodservice environments.

Strong Structural Integrity

Our trays are formed through high-pressure die cutting and heat-sealed folding, giving them stable rigidity that prevents bending during use. This strength allows customers to confidently serve hot meals, snacks, or heavier food portions.

Reliable Oil and Moisture Resistance

With optional PE, double PE, or PLA coating, the trays resist leaks and softening, making them suitable for saucy, oily, or moist foods. Customers can rely on consistent performance across different menu types.

Clean and Professional Food Presentation

Smooth coatings and precise forming ensure clean edges and a uniform appearance. This helps foodservice brands present meals attractively, improving perceived quality and customer satisfaction.

Lightweight yet Convenient for Transport and Serving

Food trays are easy to carry, stack, and serve, making them ideal for takeout, food trucks, events, and fast-paced foodservice environments. They also reduce the need for washing and cleaning.

Eco-Friendly Material Options Available

Kraft, white cardboard, and bagasse materials support sustainable packaging programs. These options appeal to buyers looking for greener solutions without compromising performance.

Cost-Effective for Foodservice Operations

Disposable trays are affordable, easy to store, and require no cleaning. They reduce labor costs and improve efficiency across takeout, dine-in, and catering services.

Key Considerations When Choosing Disposable Food Trays

Choosing the right disposable food tray depends on the type of food served, the operating environment, and your brand requirements. Understanding material performance, coating options, and structural strength will help ensure the tray delivers reliability, efficiency, and a good dining experience for your customers.

1. Food Type and Usage Scenario
Greasy, saucy, or hot foods require stronger barrier protection and higher rigidity, while dry snacks or bakery items may work well with lighter materials.

2. Material Selection
Kraft, white cardboard, corrugated paper, and bagasse each offer different strengths in appearance, sustainability, and structural performance. Choose based on menu needs and brand positioning.

3. Coating Requirements（PE or PLA）
Coatings affect oil resistance, moisture protection, and heat tolerance. PE supports high-use, everyday service, while PLA appeals to buyers needing both moisture protection and sustainability.

4. Tray Size and Depth
Appropriate dimensions improve serving efficiency, portion control, and handling comfort. Deeper trays suit combo meals, while shallow trays improve food presentation.

5. Strength and Structural Stability
Consider flute structure (corrugated), paper density, or molding technique to ensure the tray holds its shape during use, especially in high-turnover settings.

6. Branding and Printing Needs
If the tray will be used for branding, choose white cardboard or coated surfaces that support clean, high-quality printing with food-grade inks.

7. Sustainability Requirements
Eco-conscious operations may prefer kraft or bagasse materials, or PLA-coated options that align with sustainability goals and market expectations.

8. Cost Efficiency and Order Volume
Material choice, coating, and printing complexity all influence cost. Select a tray that balances performance with budget, especially for large-volume use.

FAQs

1. Can these trays handle oily or saucy foods?

Yes. Trays with PE or PLA coating provide strong resistance to oil and moisture, preventing softening or leakage during use. Double PE coating offers enhanced protection for high-fat or heavily sauced foods.

2. What is the MOQ for custom orders?

MOQ depends on material and printing requirements, but we offer flexible order quantities to support both large-scale buyers and businesses launching new menu items or seasonal packaging.

3. Can the trays be used in microwave or oven settings?

Paper-based and bagasse trays generally withstand warm reheating, but they are not intended for high-temperature baking. For microwave use, venting options may be added depending on the tray design.

4. How long is the production lead time?

Lead time depends on order quantity and customization level. Standard trays typically ship faster, while custom-printed or uniquely sized trays require additional production time.

5. What testing or certifications do your products have?

Our trays are made from food-grade materials and inks that meet SGS, FDA, and other international food-contact standards. Certificates can be provided upon request.
