Specification & quote
Food Trays
Custom Burger Trays
A burger tray is bought for eat-in service, where the customer carries food from a counter to a table with a drink in the other hand. It has to stay flat when held at one edge.
That single requirement — one-handed carrying — decides the board weight more than anything else.
- Cut to your own product, not a stock size
- Board, print and finish confirmed in writing
- Delivered across the UK on national carriers

Design Your Own
Design Your Custom Burger Trays
Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.
Sleeve colour
Finish
Put the branding on the face that points upwards. That is the one a customer looks at while carrying the tray back to a table.

One-Handed Carrying Is the Real Test
A tray that feels sturdy on a counter can flex alarmingly when picked up at one corner with a full burger and chips on it.
Test any sample the way customers will actually hold it, loaded, rather than empty on a flat surface.
Specification
| Internal size | Set from a burger plus the side you serve with it |
|---|---|
| Wall height | Enough to stop chips escaping when carried |
| Board | Greaseproof-lined; burgers and chips together are demanding |
| Supply | Flat-packed or pre-formed |
| Rim and base edges; the centre is covered by food |
Board grammages and forming options are confirmed on the written quote.
What Tends to Be Specified Alongside
- A sleeve for the burger itself, so the tray stays cleaner.
- Paper liner sheets, which let the tray be wiped rather than binned.
- A separate chip container for anything with a wet topping.
A liner is the cheapest way to extend how long a tray looks presentable.
Most sites pair these with burger sleeves used with a tray rather than putting the burger on bare board.
Ordering, Artwork and Delivery
Getting a Quote
Tell us the internal size you need and what the tray has to carry. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.
Artwork
Artwork sits on the rim and outer faces; the base is covered by food. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.
Turnaround
Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.
Delivery in the UK
Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.
Custom Burger Trays: Common Questions
Do we need a liner as well as the tray?
Not strictly, but a paper liner keeps grease off the printed base and lets staff reuse a tray across several customers where that suits your service. It costs very little and extends how long the tray looks new.
Should the tray be printed in the centre?
There is little point — the food covers it. The rim and the outer edges are what customers see when the tray is carried and photographed.
How do we test a tray properly?
Load it the way a customer will and pick it up at one corner. A tray that feels sturdy empty on a counter can flex alarmingly with a burger and chips on it.
Should we choose flat-packed or pre-formed?
Flat-packed stores in a fraction of the space but takes a few seconds each to form. Busy sites with little back-of-house usually take flat.
What wall height do we need?
Enough that chips do not escape when the tray is carried at an angle. Measure a made-up meal rather than the burger alone.
Do we need a liner as well?
Not strictly, but it keeps grease off the printed base and extends how long the tray looks new. It costs very little.
Can the tray hold a drink too?
Only with a cut-out sized to your cup base. That is a bespoke die, so raise it early if you want it.
Where should the print go?
The rim and outer edges. The centre disappears under food within seconds of the tray leaving the pass.
Will one tray size cover our menu?
Size for your largest meal. A tray that will not take the big burger is unusable even if it fits everything else.
Do these suit delivery?
No. An open tray tips in a bag. If a share of orders are delivered, ask us to price a lidded container alongside.
Prefer to Talk It Through?
Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
