Food Trays
Custom Combo Meal Trays
A combo tray sells a meal deal as one thing rather than three loose items. The compartments are as much about how the order looks as about keeping food apart.
They also stop a wet side making a dry main soggy, which is the practical reason kitchens adopt them.

Design Your Own
Design Your Custom Combo Meal 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.

Compartments Earn Their Cost Two Ways
The obvious one is separation: chips do not sit in sauce, and a burger does not absorb moisture from a slaw.
The less obvious one is perceived value. A meal presented in defined sections reads as a complete offer, which supports charging for it as one.
Specification
| Layout | Two, three or four compartments, sized to your menu |
|---|---|
| Divider height | Full height where liquids are involved |
| Board | Grease-resistant across the whole tray |
| Supply | Flat-packed or pre-formed |
| Lidding | Optional, if meals are also delivered |
Compartment layouts are set from your own portion sizes, not from a standard grid.
Getting the Layout Right
- Size compartments from real portions weighed on your scales.
- Put the wettest item in the deepest section.
- Leave the largest compartment for whatever the customer eats first.
- Avoid more than four sections — beyond that each becomes too small to use.
Where only a dip needs separating, trays with a dedicated dip well are a simpler option.
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 Combo Meal Trays: Common Questions
Are compartment trays worth it for a two-item meal?
If one item is wet and the other should stay crisp, yes. If both are dry, a plain tray does the same job for less money.
Can combo trays be lidded for delivery?
They can, and for delivery it is worth doing, since compartments alone do not stop food moving when a bag tips. Tell us at quote stage so the rim is designed for a lid.
How many compartments should we have?
Rarely more than four. Beyond that each section becomes too small to use, and the tray gets larger than it needs to be.
How do we decide the layout?
From real portions weighed on your own scales, with the wettest item in the deepest section and the largest compartment for whatever is eaten first.
Are compartments worth it for two items?
If one is wet and the other should stay crisp, yes. If both are dry, a plain tray does the same job for less.
Can combo trays be lidded?
They can, and for delivery it is worth doing. Compartments alone do not stop food moving when a bag tips.
Do dividers need full height?
Where liquids are involved, yes. A shallow crease lets sauce cross as soon as the tray is tilted.
Will a combo tray sell a meal deal?
It presents one as a set rather than three loose items, which is a large part of why kitchens adopt them.
How do they store?
Flat-packed nests well; pre-formed divided trays take considerably more space than plain ones. Check against your storage before choosing.
Can we print the compartments differently?
There is little visible area inside once loaded. The rim and outer faces carry the branding effectively.
Prefer to Talk It Through?
Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
