What Are Custom Food Trays?
Printed paper food trays serve as the essential foundation for presenting street food, snacks and appetisers in a professional manner. Designed for busy service environments, these trays provide a stable and portable vessel for customers to enjoy their food on the go. By integrating your brand identity directly onto the packaging, you turn every serving into a marketing opportunity. Whether you are operating a food truck or a high-end eatery, our custom trays ensure that your presentation remains consistent and impactful across the UAE and the wider GCC region.
Applications and Industries
Our custom food trays are engineered to support the fast-paced requirements of various food service establishments. They are particularly effective for serving items such as loaded fries, nachos, chicken tenders and various hot or cold sides. These trays are a staple for businesses within the Restaurants & Cafés sector, where efficient service is paramount. Furthermore, they are frequently used in the Bakeries & Confectionery industry for displaying sweet treats or savoury pastries in a convenient format.

Materials and Construction
We provide high-quality foodboard options tailored to your specific service needs. You may choose between white foodboard for a clean and crisp aesthetic or Kraft foodboard for a more rustic, organic appearance. These materials offer the necessary structural integrity to hold food items securely. For dishes that may contain sauces or oils, we offer a grease-resistant coating to help maintain the structural performance of the tray throughout the duration of the customer experience. The final choice of material and coating is confirmed with the quotation based on your specific requirements.
Printing and Finishing Options
Effective branding requires precision, and we offer a variety of printing methods to ensure your logo and designs appear sharp. You can select from Offset CMYK printing for full-colour photographic imagery, Pantone spot colour printing for exact brand colour matching, or Flexographic printing for high-volume efficiency. Our team ensures that your branding remains a highlight of your food presentation. The best method for your project is confirmed with the quotation once your artwork is reviewed.
Sizes and Customisation
Every food business has unique portion sizes and menu items. Rather than relying on generic dimensions, we offer custom sizing for all food trays. This ensures your portions fit perfectly, preventing unnecessary movement or wasted space. By tailoring the dimensions, you optimise both the aesthetic appeal of your food presentation and the practical usage of your storage space.

Buying Tips

Consider the primary food items you will serve to determine if a grease-resistant coating is necessary for your specific menu.
-
Ensure your logo or brand name is positioned in an area of the tray that will remain visible once food is placed inside.
-
Think about your serving style. If you use a Custom Burger Boxes or Custom Sandwich Boxes elsewhere on your menu, maintain a consistent design language across all your packaging assets.
-
Keep your artwork files ready in vector format to ensure the highest print quality during the production process.
