Paper Food Trays

Serve Food Faster With Custom Paper Food Trays

Paper Food Trays are disposable food packaging containers designed for fries, burgers, sandwiches, snacks, appetizers and takeaway meals. Their open-top design allows quick filling while giving customers easy access to food.

At Hot Custom Boxes , we manufacture custom Paper Food Trays based on your portion size, serving method and food dimensions for commercial foodservice applications.

Choose a Tray Style That Fits Your Serving Method

Different food tray structures suit different portion sizes and foodservice requirements. Available styles include:

Match Food Tray Capacity to Your Actual Serving Size

Tray numbers and pound ratings describe approximate capacity rather than exact food weight. Confirm the dimensions against your portion before approving production.

Note: Custom sizes are available for specialized products such as a Donut Tray or unusually shaped meal portions.

Standard sizes include:

Find the Right Material for Hot and Cold Foods

Our team reviews serving temperature, grease exposure, moisture level and applicable food contact requirements before confirming specifications. Common materials include:

Display Your Brand Clearly With Foodservice Printing

Printed Paper Food Trays can carry logos, menu names, serving instructions and promotional messages.

We offer the following printing methods:

• Flexographic printing suits simple artwork and high-volume tray production.
• Offset printing provides detailed graphics on suitable paperboard.
• Digital printing supports shorter orders and frequently updated campaigns.
• CMYK reproduces full-color designs while PMS matching targets specific brand colors.
• Exterior printing is common while food-contact printing requires approved inks for the intended use.

Apply Coatings That Match the Food Application

Surface treatments must suit the selected paperboard and intended food contact conditions. Available finishes include:

• Matte and gloss coatings create low-sheen or reflective exterior surfaces.
• Food-compatible aqueous coating provides light scuff resistance over printed areas.
• Spot UV highlights selected logos or graphics on non-contact exterior panels.
• Foil stamping adds metallic details to suitable outer surfaces.
• Embossing or debossing adds texture where it does not affect folds, stacking or barrier performance.

Reduce Packing Problems Through Controlled Manufacturing

We confirm the tray’s top dimensions, base dimensions, wall height and corner geometry before developing the dieline. A digital proof lets you review artwork placement, cut lines and fold positions before production.

Operators monitor printing, die cutting, scoring and corner formation throughout the run. Inspectors verify tray dimensions, fold alignment and coating coverage before counting and packing. This process helps staff assemble and load trays consistently during service.

Support Different Foodservice Menus and Locations

Commercial Paper Food Serving Trays are widely used across quick service restaurants, concessions, schools and food trucks where quick portioning and open access are important. Common applications include:

• Restaurants and QSRs: Burgers, fries, wings, sandwiches and side dishes use trays for counter and dine-in service.
• Food trucks and events: Street food, fried items and carnival snacks use lightweight serving boats.
• Bakeries and cafés: Pastries, cookies and donuts use shallow trays for individual or shared portions.
• Retail and seasonal programs: Convenience foods and Thanksgiving Product Display Trays support prepared food counters and temporary events.
