Custom Paper Food Trays

Custom paper food trays, also called food boats, are open paperboard trays printed with your logo for serving fries, nachos, wings, street food and snacks. Food trucks, stadium stands and events use them because they are light, stack flat and keep a brand in every photo of the food.

Food trays that serve the portion and show your brand in every photo

An open tray is the fastest way to serve fries, nachos, loaded tots or wings at a food truck, stand or event. A printed tray puts your name in front of the customer while they eat, and in every photo they take of the food.

Trays come in boat shapes with angled sides and flat-bottomed trays with straight walls. Size them by portion: a small side, a regular and a sharing size cover most menus. Tell us what you serve and roughly how much, and we suggest dimensions.

Sauces, oil and hot food test paperboard. Ask a specialist about grease-resistant coatings and food-contact board for your menu, and confirm the requirements for your market before you approve the proof.

Brands order paper food trays for fries and loaded fries, nachos and tacos, wings and tenders, food trucks and stands.

  • Boat and tray shapes
  • Sized to your portions
  • Logo printed on the sides
  • Grease-resistant board to ask about

FAQ

Paper Food Trays FAQs

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What is a food boat?
A food boat is an open paperboard tray with angled sides, used to serve fries, nachos and other street food. The shape makes it easy to hold and eat from while standing.
Are paper food trays grease resistant?
Plain paperboard can soften with oil and sauce. Grease-resistant coatings and liners help; ask a specialist which board suits your menu and confirm food-contact requirements for your market.
What sizes do food trays come in?
Most menus need two or three sizes, such as a side, a regular and a sharing portion. Tell us what you serve and roughly how much, and we suggest dimensions.
Can I use a liner with a food tray?
Yes. A sheet of printed parchment or wax paper in the tray adds another branded layer and helps with greasy foods. See our parchment paper and butcher paper pages.

How ordering works: quote, digital proof, production, then delivery to the USA or Canada. Nothing prints until you approve the proof.
