Food Trays

Custom Pizza Trays

A pizza tray carries a hot, heavy, flexible disc that will fold if the board underneath it does.

Rigidity across the diameter is the whole specification, and it gets harder as the pizza gets bigger.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Pizza 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

Name on the pack

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

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.

Rigidity Gets Harder with Diameter

A board that holds a 10in pizza flat may sag noticeably under a 16in one. The unsupported span grows faster than intuition suggests.

Specify against your largest pizza rather than your most common one, or run two board weights.

Specification

Diameter	Sized to your largest pizza, with a small margin
Board	Rigid; weight set against the span rather than the load
Surface	Grease-resistant, or used with a liner
Edge	Plain, or with a lip to help carrying
Print	The rim, which is the only area not covered

Used For

Whole pizzas served to a table on a board rather than a plate.
Takeaway pizzas inside a box, where the tray adds rigidity.
Market and festival trading, where a box would be excessive.
Sharing plates and flatbreads served the same way.

Adding liners that keep grease off the board keeps a printed tray presentable across a service.

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 Pizza Trays: Common Questions

Does a tray inside a pizza box add anything?

It stops the base flexing when the box is carried at an angle, which is what causes toppings to slide to one side. On larger pizzas it makes a clear difference; on small ones it is often unnecessary.

Can the tray be square rather than round?

Yes, and square boards are easier to cut with less waste, which can reduce cost. Round looks more considered on a table, so it comes down to service style.

Why does board weight matter more on a large pizza?

Because the unsupported span grows faster than intuition suggests. A board that holds a 10in pizza flat can sag noticeably under a 16in one.

Should we size for our largest pizza?

Yes, or run two weights. Specifying for the most common size leaves the largest one sagging, which is the complaint customers notice.

Does a tray inside a box help?

It stops the base flexing when the box is carried at an angle, which is what makes toppings slide to one side.

Round or square?

Square cuts with less waste and can cost less. Round looks more considered on a table, so it comes down to service style.

Do we need grease resistance?

Either that or a liner. Cheese oil soaks into plain board and the base loses rigidity exactly where the pizza needs support.

Can we print the whole surface?

There is little point — the pizza covers it. The rim is the only area a customer sees once the tray is loaded.

Will a tray fit our existing boxes?

Send the box internal dimensions and we will size it to sit inside with a small clearance rather than forcing it.

Do these suit market trading?

Yes, and they are often used instead of a box where a customer eats on the spot. Outdoor use argues for a coated surface.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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