Why Choose Custom Food Trays?

Custom food trays are more than just serving platters—they’re a great branding opportunity and valuable service tool for all events. There are several reasons why custom trays like waffle trays are so valuable:

• Brand Identity: Print your logo, tagline, or promotional artwork so your business can stand out.
• Sustainable Options: Use recyclable or compostable trays to “green” your brand.
• Customer Experience: Make serving easy and hygienic
• Strength: Use with heavy meals, saucy items, or greasy foods without worry.
• Fit: Customize size and shape for your menu items.

Materials We Offer for Custom Food Trays

The material choice will determine the strength of the tray, its heat resistance, and whether it is sustainable. We have:

1. Paperboard

Paperboard is our most popular material for printed waffle trays. It’s lightweight and sturdy, great for dry or moderately greasy foods. There are a few different types of paperboard: 

• SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) – White both inside and out so you can print in color as vibrantly as you want. 
• Kraft Paperboard – Brown, unbleached paperboard for a more raw, earthy, and environmentally friendly look.
• Recycled Board (CCNB) – Economical and eco-friendly.

2. Corrugated Board

You should use corrugated paper trays when needing to serve heavier foods or saucier foods, as this material provides a rigid, sturdy structure and adds insulation. 

3. Sugarcane Bagasse (Compostable)

Made from sugarcane pulp, our printed custom four corner tray is 100% biodegradable and compostable. Great if your business has a mission to be green and sustainable.

4. PET/Plastic-Lined Paperboard

Plastic-lined paperboard is your go-to when you need extra moisture and grease resistance. Great for cold foods, desserts, and high-grease items. 

We offer Premium Coating Options

In addition to durability and strength, coatings also serve to enhance food safety and improve printing finish. We offer: 

Polyethylene (PE) Coating. 

A good barrier for moist and greasy foods, such as most fast food trays.

Aqueous Coating (Water-Based). 

Safer than PE, better for the environment, and allows better print quality with little moisture resistance.

PLA Coating (Corn-Based Bioplastic). 

A compostable alternative to PE that is safe for food contact and great for businesses looking to eliminate plastic.

UV Coating

For trays that require a glossy, premium print finish, especially for limited edition runs or promotional food trays.

Add-Ons and Functional Features

These donut tray packaging can do more for your business. We provide a variety of add-ons:

• Custom Dividers: A perfect option for separating multiple food items or sauces.
• Die-Cut Handles: For easy carrying, these are great for events or meals dealing with walkaway meals.
• Grease Resistant Liners: Stops any leakage and sogginess from greasy dishes, while sauces hold up
• Lids and Covers: You can add lids to take away, delivery, or service setups.
• Stacking Designs: Maximize storage and transportation.
• Custom Inserts: Combo trays such as burger + fries + dip are perfect for this option.

Pleasing Printing Methods

1. Offset Printing

2. Digital Printing

3. Flexographic printing 

Used for large production runs, simple designs, excellent option for single color or minimal color food trays.

4. Screen printing

A tactile option that creates textures or metallic finishes for a valuable look and feel.
