Food Trays

Custom Fries Trays

Plain chips go in a sleeve or a scoop. Loaded fries — cheese, sauce, pulled meat piled on top — need walls, because the topping moves and the whole thing is far heavier.

The tray becomes structural at that point rather than presentational.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Fries 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.

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.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Loaded Fries Are Wet as Well as Heavy

Melted cheese and sauce find every seam. A tray assembled from a flat blank has corners where liquid collects, and a light board goes soft there first.

A lined board with a well-formed corner handles it; an unlined one leaks within a few minutes of serving.

Specifying for a Loaded Portion

  • Wall height set from the topping, not the chips underneath.
  • A base wide enough that the tray does not tip when carried.
  • Grease-resistant lining, because cheese oil is worse than chip oil.
  • A rim that can be gripped without fingers going into the food.

Weigh a loaded portion and send us the figure — it is the only reliable basis for sizing.

Delivery Makes Loaded Fries Harder Still

A loaded tray in a courier bag tips and the topping ends up on one side. If a share of your orders are delivered, a lidded container is a more honest answer than a deeper tray.

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 Fries Trays: Common Questions

Can a chip sleeve handle loaded fries?

Rarely. A sleeve has no walls to contain a topping and no base area to spread the weight, so loaded portions tip out. Once you add toppings, a tray is the right format.

How deep should the walls be?

Deep enough that the topping sits below the rim, which is usually more than people expect. Measure a made-up portion rather than working from the chip volume alone.

Why do loaded fries leak at the corners?

Because an assembled tray has seams there, and melted cheese finds them. A lined board with a well-formed corner holds; an unlined one does not.

What board suits melted cheese?

A grease-resistant lining. Cheese oil is more demanding than chip oil, and it sits on the food for the whole time it is being eaten.

How do we size for a loaded portion?

Weigh one on your own scales and send the figure. Volume descriptions are unreliable once toppings are involved.

Will the tray tip when carried?

Not with a wide enough base. A tall narrow tray with a heavy topping is the combination that tips.

Do these work for delivery?

Poorly on their own. A loaded tray tips in a courier bag, so a lidded container is a more honest answer where delivery is a large share.

Can we print inside the walls?

You can, though food covers most of it. The rim and outer faces are what the customer actually sees.

How do we stop the tray softening mid-service?

A lined board and a wall height that keeps hot topping off the rim. Softening usually starts where sauce sits against an unlined seam.

Can we print a menu item name on the tray?

Yes, and on a multi-item counter it saves staff checking. Digital printing makes several names in one run affordable.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
