Cardboard trays are the unsung heroes of retail – we’ve watched how customers instinctively trust a crisp, sturdy tray over flimsy alternatives. Our food-safe designs do triple duty: containing grease from Bristol’s best pasties, surviving condensation in London delis, and making even simple products look worthy of premium pricing. That subtle ‘clunk’ when it hits the counter? That’s the sound of perceived value.

For brands working to sustainability goals, we also provide FSC®-certified and recyclable board options — ensuring your trays are as responsible as they are reliable.
Your packaging says a lot before the product is even tried. We offer a wide choice of finishes, stocks, and coatings so your cardboard tray packaging reflects your identity. Options include:
When your product is on display or in the customer’s hand, the tray it sits in should elevate the experience, not hold it back. Here’s how we help brands get it right:
