Food Trays for Takeaway and Catering

Food trays make it easy to hand over chips, snacks and casual meals when an open serving format suits the order. Atlas Packaging Hub supplies brown corrugated trays in bulk cartons for takeaway counters, food trucks, cafes and caterers. The useful choice is the tray that holds your portion comfortably and fits your packing routine. Compare the footprint, depth and carton quantity before deciding which sizes to keep beside the service bench.

Food trays in the Atlas range

The corrugated range includes Small, Medium, Large, Square and X Large Brown trays. Corrugated Tray Small Brown is listed at 500 per carton. The Medium, Large and Square options are listed at 250 per carton, while X Large is listed at 100 per carton.

Hot Dog Tray Brown Corrugated Kraft Plain is a separate format, listed at 600 per carton. Its elongated shape gives you an alternative to a general snack tray when assessing a hot dog or similarly shaped item. Check the internal dimensions against the filled roll and any toppings.

These are open trays, so the packing decision includes how the food will be carried after handover. Compare them with enclosed boxes in the takeaway containers range if the order needs a lid. Size names are useful for browsing, but actual dimensions and a portion trial are the better basis for selecting a regular stock item.

Choose by portion and handling conditions

Place a normal serve in the tray and check how much clear space remains around it. Chips loosely piled above the sides behave differently from a flat portion. Leave enough room for customers to handle the tray without pushing food over the edge.

Corrugated board has a layered construction, but that does not establish a load rating or a grease barrier for every product. Check the specification and trial the tray with your oil level, sauces and holding time. For lining, compare greaseproof paper and make sure it sits neatly inside the tray.

Assess the whole journey for takeaway orders. An open tray can need additional protection when placed in takeaway bags, particularly where several items travel together. Keep filled trays level and avoid resting another meal directly on exposed food. Store empty stock dry, and keep only the working quantity near steam or cooking equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Which tray size suits a serve of hot chips?

Start with your actual portion and compare the Small and Medium tray dimensions. Larger or loaded serves may need more space. The right size leaves room for toppings and handling without food spilling over the sides.

Do the trays hold up to oily food?

Check the specific tray and test it over your normal serving time. Corrugated construction alone does not confirm grease resistance or suitability for pooled liquids. Ask about an appropriate food contact liner if your menu needs one.

The listed Small tray comes in cartons of 500; Medium, Large and Square trays come in cartons of 250; X Large comes in cartons of 100. The Hot Dog Tray is listed at 600 per carton. Confirm the exact item on your quote.
