Tips on Choosing the Right Size
Consider the Food Boat
Lighter snacks such as cookies or small desserts can use smaller trays, while fried foods or meals with multiple components need larger capacities.
Think about portion size
Choose a tray that holds the full serving comfortably without crowding or overflow.
Check the expected weight
Heavier foods need thicker paperboard or larger bases to maintain stability during serving.
Match the tray size to the service style
Quick service and food trucks often prefer medium and large trays for flexibility, while cafés may use small trays for single items.
Account for sauces or moisture
Foods with added sauces or oil may require a slightly larger tray to avoid spills and ensure clean presentation.

FAQs
Most food boats are made with greaseproof or coated materials that help reduce oil penetration. For fried or saucy foods, selecting a PE coated or reinforced tray provides better performance.
2. What is the production lead time
Yes. Samples can be arranged to help you test the size, strength, and material before placing bulk orders.
Food boats are designed for semi moist foods rather than soups. For items with sauces, choosing a PE coated or deep tray helps prevent leaks.
Common materials include kraft paper, white cardboard, greaseproof paper, PE coated paper, and bagasse. Each material offers different strength and barrier properties.
Paper thickness varies depending on size and application. Most trays use 250 to 350 gsm paperboard, while heavier foods may require thicker options.
No. They come pre formed and ready to use, which reduces preparation time and improves efficiency during busy service hours.
Keep them in a dry environment away from heat and moisture. Proper storage maintains the paperboard strength and prevents warping.
