Food Trays

 

Custom Food Trays — Direct from Manufacturer for Foodservice, Retail & Wholesale

 

 

Yangrui manufactures food-grade plastic and biodegradable food trays for restaurants, catering operators, fresh food retailers, and B2B distributors worldwide. With 12+ years in disposable food packaging and a daily output of 50,000+ units, we handle bulk orders without cutting corners on material safety or print quality.

 

Whether you need standard PP trays for school cafeterias or fully printed custom trays for a branded food chain, we cover the full production chain — molding, printing, coating, and export packing — under one roof.

Why Wholesale Buyers Keep Coming Back to Yangrui

A good tray is only half the equation. The other half is whether your supplier shows up consistently — same lead time, same quality, same communication — order after order. That's what 12 years in this business has taught us to get right.

Abundant Experience

YANGRUI has been engaged in the disposable food tray and container industry for 12 years. Thanks to the knowledge base of high-end production technologies, we have been constantly providing high-quality and environmentally friendly food packaging products and services.

01

High Productivity

We utilize laminating, coating and flexible printing processes to decorate our food trays in our factory which covers an area of over 20,000 square meters. The daily output of 50,000 units is the best evidence that we are capable of handling large and urgent orders.

02

Customer-oriented

YANGRUI has always won the trust of customers, because all aspects of our services are customer-oriented. And every pleasant customization is a record in our development process.

03

Eco-friendly Consciousness

YANGRUI stocks hundreds of food trays and containers, but we are constantly developing more environmentally friendly plant materials and recycled plastics to reduce our customers' dependence on petroleum resources.

1. Biodegradable: Unlike traditional plastic products, these food trays meet the requirements of ASTM and have been certified as biodegradable products. They can be completely decomposed within approximately 6 to 8 months under composting conditions.
2. Food Hygiene: These trays are made from materials such as pulp, recycled bagasse, food-grade PP and PET, which are friendly to both food and human bodies. They will not release toxic gases during the modification process either.
3. Heat-resistant: You can completely heat these trays in the microwave oven or store them in the refrigerator and freezer. They are heat-resistant within the temperature range of -20℃ to 120℃ and do not release any BPA or any other harmful substances.
4. Sturdy Structure: Our trays are suitable for carrying various kinds of food, including bread, fruits, meats and meal preparations. They have a sturdy structure and can hold a large amount of delicious food without being easily crushed.

Food Tray Materials We Work With
 

Material choice affects more than just cost — it determines microwave compatibility, cold chain performance, shelf life, and whether your end market accepts it from a compliance or sustainability standpoint. We stock and process all the materials below, so you're not locked into one option when your requirements change.

productcate-720-720
PP (Polypropylene)
The workhorse of the food tray category. Microwave-safe, dishwasher-resistant, and compatible with a wide temperature range (-20℃ to 120℃). BPA-free. The most widely used material for cafeteria trays, airline meals, and meal prep containers.
productcate-628-628
MFPP (Microwavable Foam Polypropylene)
Lightweight with excellent insulation properties. Keeps food warm during service or delivery without structural collapse. Popular for fast food, takeaway, and school meal programs.
productcate-1081-1081
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
High clarity for fresh food display. Preferred by supermarkets and fresh produce retailers where product visibility is a selling point. Recyclable and approved for food contact.
productcate-600-600
Bagasse (Sugarcane Pulp)
Compostable under standard conditions, ASTM D6400 compliant. A practical choice for operators transitioning away from petroleum-based plastics or supplying markets with single-use plastic regulations.
productcate-750-750
PLA (Polylactic Acid)
Plant-derived bioplastic with a clean, premium feel. Suits eco-forward restaurant brands and catering operators targeting sustainability-conscious end consumers.

Certifications That Matter to Your Market

When you're sourcing food-contact packaging for regulated markets, documentation isn't optional. Every Yangrui food tray is produced under ISO9001:2021 quality management standards, and our materials carry the certifications your buyers, retailers, and import authorities are likely to ask for — so you're not chasing paperwork after the order is placed.

Transform Your Packaging with Our Trays

 
Restaurant
In a restaurant, the finished meat is cut and placed on trays. Thanks to their lids, these trays seal the meat from mosquitoes and dust. They are neatly stacked in the freezer, waiting to be ordered by customers.
Airline
The requirements for food trays are even more stringent in the air meal distribution process. A properly prepared airline meal may contain beef, vegetables, desserts and other items, which require the use of food trays with compartments.
Fresh Food Market
Disposable plastic food trays are commonly used to package seafood such as shrimp, crab and fish. They can be used with absorbent bags to absorb excess water from the surface of seafood products and prevent seafood from deteriorating from prolonged immersion in water.
Coffee Shop
Although coffee shops mainly serve drinks, they also sell delicate fruits and salads. They are packaged on food trays to make them more accessible to customers.
School Cafeterias
Due to the large number of students and teachers, cafeterias have to serve a large number of meals every day. Disposable plastic food trays are used to distribute dishes, snacks and can be recycled directly after use.
How to Get Your Order Started
Five steps from first contact to goods on your dock. No back-and-forth guesswork — we keep the process moving with clear sign-off points at each stage so nothing goes into production until you're confident in what's coming out.
 
Step 1 — Share Your Requirements

Tell us your tray type, dimensions, material, quantity, printing needs, and target timeline. The more specific, the faster we can give you an accurate quote.

 
Step 2 — Receive a Quote

We'll come back with pricing, lead time, and material recommendations based on your use case. For non-standard specs, we'll flag any structural or tooling considerations upfront.

 
Step 3 — Sample Confirmation

Physical samples provided before mass production. Structural fit and print quality confirmed with your sign-off — no surprises at the production stage.

 
Step 4 — Production & QC

Mass production proceeds after approval. Our QC team checks dimensional accuracy, print consistency, coating integrity, and structural performance at key stages.

 
Step 5 — Export Packing & Shipment

Trays packed in export-safe master cartons. Full documentation (packing list, CO, material certifications) provided. We coordinate shipping based on your preferred freight method.

 

 

FAQ

Q: What's the MOQ for custom printed food trays?

A: MOQ depends on tray size, material, and whether custom tooling is required. Standard sizes with existing molds have lower minimums. Reach out with your specs and we'll confirm what applies to your project.

Q: Do your food trays meet FDA and food safety standards?

A: Yes. Our materials are food-grade and tested to FDA, SGS, and BRCS standards. Certification documentation is available on request — important for buyers sourcing into regulated markets like the US, EU, and Australia.

Q: Can I get compartment trays in custom configurations?

A: Yes. We manufacture 2-, 3-, and 4-compartment layouts as standard, and can produce custom partition configurations based on your meal composition and portion requirements.

Q: Are your biodegradable trays actually compostable?

A: Our bagasse trays are certified to ASTM D6400 and decompose within 6–8 months under composting conditions. PLA options are also available. We can provide the relevant test reports for compliance verification.

Q: Can I order a mix of tray types and sizes in one shipment?

A: Yes. Many of our wholesale buyers consolidate multiple SKUs into one container. We'll help you plan carton configurations to maximize space efficiency and minimize per-unit freight cost.

Q: How do you ensure color consistency across repeat orders?

A: We keep approved print samples and production specs on file. Pantone color references are used for brand-critical colors, and our QC team checks against the approved reference at each production run.

Q: What lead time should I plan for?

A: Standard sizes typically ship within 2–3 weeks after sample approval. Custom tooling or complex print requirements may add lead time — we'll confirm at the quoting stage so you can plan accordingly.
