Products and prepared meals need trays that are easy to fill, comfortable to carry, and strong enough for their intended use. Our custom trays can be manufactured for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, cinemas, events, retail stores, cosmetic brands, and promotional businesses.
At Bee Printers, every tray can be customized in dimensions, material, depth, structure, printing, and surface treatment. Restaurants can use custom food trays for fries, sandwiches, burgers, bakery products, appetizers, desserts, and other suitable menu items.
Your logo, colors, slogan, patterns, product information, or promotional message can be printed directly onto the tray. A well-designed structure keeps the contents organized while extending your brand across takeaway, dine-in, and event service.
A generic tray may be too wide, too shallow, or unsuitable for the weight and condition of the product. Incorrect sizing can cause food to shift, sauces to spill, or products to appear poorly arranged. Custom dimensions create a more secure fit and a cleaner presentation.
Branded trays also give customers a consistent experience. When the same colors, logos, and design elements appear across trays, boxes, wraps, and bags, the business becomes easier to recognize.
Trays are designed for quick access and efficient service. Open tops allow staff to fill them rapidly, while folded walls help keep the contents in place. Depending on the application, trays can include reinforced corners, locking tabs, grease-resistant treatments, or divided sections.
The right design depends on product size, weight, heat, moisture, grease content, serving time, and delivery method. Product testing is recommended before placing a large order.
Food businesses requiring a closed container for delivery can combine their trays with custom food boxes. Coordinated designs across both formats help maintain a consistent branded presentation.
Tray material should be selected according to product weight, temperature, moisture, grease level, contact type, and serving duration. Bee Printers offers several paper-based options for food service and retail applications.
Cardboard is lightweight, printable, and suitable for snacks, bakery products, confectionery, cosmetics, gifts, and small retail items. It can be cut into custom shapes and folded into shallow or deep tray structures.
Kraft board provides a natural brown appearance that complements organic cafés, bakeries, handmade brands, and environmentally conscious businesses. Dark printing creates a clear contrast against the natural surface.
Corrugated material contains a fluted layer that provides additional strength. It is suitable for larger food portions, multiproduct sets, retail display units, and trays that require stronger walls.
Fast-food businesses can complement these trays with Kraft French fries boxes for individual portions while using larger trays for combination meals and sharing items.
Restaurants use paper trays for meals that need an open, accessible presentation. The structure can be designed for individual portions, shared servings, samples, or event catering.
Hot dog vendors, stadiums, cinemas, and event caterers can use custom hot dog trays with raised sides, grease-resistant materials, and branded exterior printing.
Food trays may come into contact with oil, sauces, steam, and moisture. The selected material and coating should match the food and expected serving time. A tray intended for dry pastries will have different performance requirements from one holding fried food or sauced meals.
Grease-resistant treatments can help limit oil from moving through the paperboard. Moisture-resistant options may support foods containing sauces or condensation. The final material should be tested using the actual food under realistic service conditions.
Trays can be produced in different lengths, widths, depths, and wall angles. Their structure can be adjusted for a single product or a combination meal. Locking corners can improve shape retention, while reinforced bases provide support for heavier items.
Restaurants serving burgers and complete meals can pair open trays with custom burger boxes for takeaway and delivery orders that require a closed structure.
Printed trays provide visible space for logos, repeating patterns, social media details, promotional codes, and campaign messages. Branding can appear on exterior walls, inside surfaces, or across the complete structure depending on the material and intended contact conditions.
Because trays are folded during assembly, artwork should be positioned carefully around crease lines, locking tabs, and corners. Repeating patterns are often effective because they maintain visibility from different angles.
Businesses can coordinate their trays with custom printed food papers. Branded liners can add another visible design layer while helping keep the tray clean during service.
Functional treatments should be selected according to the product and intended use. Food trays may require grease-resistant or moisture-resistant surfaces, while retail trays can use decorative coatings and premium finishes.
Retail and gift trays may include matte or gloss lamination, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and spot UV. These decorative effects should only be used where they are suitable for the product and contact application.
Sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and baked goods benefit from shallow trays that provide support without hiding the product. A tray can be combined with a printed sleeve, transparent cover, or outer box according to the required presentation.
Cafés and delis can coordinate serving trays with their custom sandwich boxes. This allows the same branding to remain consistent across dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders.
Custom trays are not limited to food. They can organize cosmetics, soaps, candles, accessories, small electronics, promotional samples, and gift products. Display trays allow several units to remain visible and easy for customers to access.
Retail structures can include dividers, product slots, raised walls, and printed header panels. Shipping cartons may also be designed to convert into display trays after delivery, reducing the need to repack individual products.
Paper-based trays may help businesses reduce the use of plastic in suitable applications. Material choices can include recyclable paperboard, natural Kraft, corrugated board, and recycled-content stock.
Accurate sizing reduces excess material and unused space. Minimal printing, paperboard dividers, and suitable water-based coatings may further support environmental goals. Food contamination and barrier coatings can affect recyclability, so claims should match the complete finished tray.
