Product Details
Some foods are meant to be eaten on the move: loaded fries, nachos, corn dogs, chicken tenders, tacos and funnel cakes. Paper food trays and boats make them easy to serve and easy to eat, and they are often the most visible packaging at a food truck or concession stand. Custom food trays put your brand right under the food that customers are photographing and sharing. Packwhole makes printed trays for food trucks, stadiums, fairs, festivals, restaurants and catering companies.
Trays come in several shapes and depths, each suited to different foods.
| Style | Best for | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Shallow food boat | Fries, tenders and snacks | Quick serving and easy eating |
| Deep tray | Nachos and loaded fries | Holds toppings and sauces |
| Hot dog tray | Hot dogs and sausages | Holds the bun upright |
| Divided tray | Combos with sides and dips | Keeps items separate |
| Tray with sleeve or lid | Takeaway combos | Closes for carrying |
Street food is often hot, saucy and oily. Paper trays use food-grade board with a grease-resistant coating, so sauces and oil stay inside the tray instead of soaking through to customers’ hands. Folded or locked corners keep the tray rigid even when it is full.
General information only; confirm food contact suitability for your trays.
Plain red-and-white checkered trays are everywhere. Printing your own design makes your food instantly recognizable in photos and around the venue.
Food trucks rely on fast service and strong branding. Printed trays reinforce your truck’s look and make your food stand out at busy food truck rallies. Stackable trays take up little space in a compact truck kitchen.
Stadiums and arenas serve thousands of fans on game days. Sturdy trays that hold combos, such as a hot dog with fries, reduce spills in crowded seating areas. Team colors and sponsor logos can be printed on the trays for extra value.
Caterers use food trays for appetizers, tasting portions and buffet stations. Small trays make portion control easy and give guests something to hold while they mingle. Event branding or a couple’s monogram can be printed for weddings and parties.
Tray color sets the mood of the food. White board makes bright logos pop and suits classic concession branding. Kraft board gives an earthy, artisan look that works well for burger joints, taco trucks and healthy bowls. Specialty patterns such as checkered or striped prints can be combined with your logo for a retro diner feel. Whatever you choose, the inside coating keeps grease contained.
Trays are used once, so many vendors look for paper-based options instead of plastic or foam. Paper trays are lighter, print beautifully and, where local facilities accept food-soiled paper, may be composted. Check local guidance before making claims about disposal.
High-volume food service uses trays quickly. Ordering custom food trays wholesale keeps costs low and ensures you never run out during a busy event. Trays ship flat or nested to save space.
Think about your portion sizes and the foods you serve. A small boat suits sides and snacks, a medium tray suits single meals and a large or divided tray suits combos. Our team can suggest sizes based on your menu.
