Match the tray to the served product

Describe the product, any sauce or topping and whether a liner is used. Review support, contact suitability and the need for a separate cover or outer carrier.

Confirm suitability for the exact food use

Ask for the proposed material and relevant suitability information for the food, temperature and contact conditions you have specified. Review liners, coatings, inks and closures as parts of the complete pack.

Details to include in your inquiry

  • Portion dimensions
  • Liner requirements
  • Sauces or moisture
  • Cover or carrier

Include the requested quantity, artwork status and delivery destination. Confirm available materials, sample requirements, pricing and timing in the written quotation.
