Paper Tray
Paper tray packaging for produce and food applications moving off foam or rigid plastic trays without giving up shelf presentation.
A paper-based tray for operations moving off foam and rigid plastic without giving up shelf presentation. The pressure to change usually comes from the retailer rather than from the packer, and the practical question is always the same: does the replacement still seal, still stack, and still make the product look like it is worth the price. This format is built to answer yes to all three.
Typical use cases
- Produce trays
- Food-service trays

What packers use paper tray for
Top seal, manual or automatic. Supplied in 4 oz and 6 oz capacities, in paper cardboard with a food-grade coated finish and ventilation holes.
Produce trays
Small counts sold on a tray with a sealed top film — the presentation retail uses when the product is premium and has to be protected from handling.
Food service
Portioned counts for food-service programmes, where the tray has to hold up through service rather than just through display.
Questions buyers ask about paper tray
What capacities are available?
4 oz and 6 oz.
Can it be sealed on my existing tray sealer?
It takes a top seal, manual or automatic. Our top seal film is made for the same application, so the tray and the film can be specified together.
Is the coating food grade?
Yes — paper cardboard with a food-grade coated finish.
Is a paper tray recyclable?
Paper-based trays with a coating fall into different streams in different markets. Ask your rep for the specification for the region your retailer sells in rather than assuming it carries across.
