Product Overview

Our Custom Boat-Shaped Paperboard Tray is designed for fast food shops, food trucks, stadium vendors, bakeries, cafés, catering companies, amusement parks, school canteens, supermarkets, and event food suppliers that need simple, open-access, and dependable serving packaging. Made from 300gsm food-grade paper, this paperboard tray is suitable for fries, nachos, tacos, hot dogs, pastries, fried snacks, fruit, salad portions, desserts, and tasting samples. Its boat-shaped structure gives customers a wide-open eating area while keeping food visible and easy to pick up.
Compared with closed cartons or deep bowls, these custom paper food trays are ideal for foods that need fast loading, direct serving, and easy customer access. The raised sidewalls help reduce spills, while the nestable structure saves storage space in busy kitchens and mobile catering setups. Available in kraft, white, and custom printed finishes, this recycled paperboard packaging style supports both natural eco branding and bright promotional designs.

Quality Assurance & Supply Chain Reliability

Our production can be managed under recognized food packaging quality systems such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, BRCGS Packaging, FSSC 22000, and HACCP. For qualified recycled paperboard packaging and food-contact tray orders, available documents may include FDA food-contact statements, EU Declaration of Compliance, FSC documentation, migration test reports, heavy metal test reports, and grease or moisture resistance test information.

Each paperboard tray batch is checked for paper weight, die-cut accuracy, fold-line consistency, sidewall height, nesting performance, coating coverage, odor condition, and visible contamination. Printed custom paper food trays are also inspected for color consistency, ink adhesion, logo position, registration accuracy, and surface cleanliness before packing.

For wholesalers, catering distributors, restaurant chains, and event suppliers, we support nested packing, shrink wrapping, SKU-labeled cartons, palletized loading, and mixed-size shipment planning. Orders above 50,000 pcs can receive production progress updates, while repeat recycled paperboard packaging programs may be supported with safety stock planning for seasonal demand.
