Food Trays

Custom Sandwich Trays

A sandwich platter is carried into an office by one person, often up stairs, sometimes stacked two high. Everything about the tray follows from that.

It is one of the few trays in this range that has to survive a journey rather than a walk across a room.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Sandwich 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.

Platters Get Stacked, So the Rim Matters

Two or three platters stacked for a delivery put all the weight on the rim of the one underneath. A soft rim collapses and the sandwiches below are crushed.

A reinforced or folded rim carries that load. It is the detail that separates a catering tray from a serving tray.

What Catering Customers Need from the Tray

A rim strong enough for stacking during delivery.
A surface that looks presentable when the lid comes off in a meeting room.
Space for a label listing fillings and allergens.
A size that fits the boot of a car and a standard meeting table.
Compatibility with whatever lid or film you cover it with.

Ask about the covering method early — it constrains the rim design more than anything else.

Sites doing retail as well as catering usually also need individual sleeves for retail sandwiches.

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 Sandwich Trays: Common Questions

Can platters be stacked for delivery?

Only if the rim is specified for it. A standard serving tray rim buckles under a second loaded platter, so tell us at quote stage if stacking is part of your process.

Should the tray or a separate card carry the allergen list?

A separate card is more flexible, since fillings change between orders. Printing a fixed list onto the tray only works if your platters never vary.

What size suits an office order?

Set it from your portion count and the tables it will sit on. A platter that will not fit a meeting room table is a recurring irritation.

Should allergen information be printed on the tray?

A separate card is more flexible, since fillings change per order. Printing a fixed list only works if your platters never vary.

Will it fit in a car boot?

Worth checking before ordering. Catering platters are frequently sized without anyone measuring the vehicle they travel in.

Do we need a lid or film?

Whichever you already use — tell us at quote stage, because the covering method constrains the rim design more than anything else.

What board weight do we need?

Rigid. Sandwiches are heavier in quantity than they seem, and a platter is usually carried one-handed through a building.

Where should the print go?

The rim and the underside, both of which are visible when the platter is carried at chest height.

Do these suit buffets as well as delivery?

Yes, though a buffet platter can use a lighter rim, since it is not stacked. Tell us which use dominates.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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