Produce tray for fresh fruits and vegetables
Our produce trays are designed for fresh fruits and vegetables, offering a combination of sustainability, protection and water resistance.
Made using eco-friendly materials, these trays are not only FSC-certified but can also have a unique water-resistant coating. This eco-friendly coating ensures the trays effectively repel moisture, safeguarding produce from environmental elements and extending its shelf life without preventing the trays from being fully recyclable. So, you can relax knowing that your fruits and vegetables will still be fresh when they arrive at their destination.
The durable design of these trays provides superior protection during handling and transport, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring that the produce arrives in perfect condition. Using cardboard produce trays not only meets environmental and sustainability goals but also enhances the overall quality and freshness of the fruits and vegetables.
Plain and printed cardboard produce trays
Plain and printed cardboard produce trays offer versatile visual options while optimising branding opportunities. These produce trays are ideal for businesses looking for a cost-effective, simple solution for transporting and displaying fresh produce. They provide protection and durability while being fully recyclable, and there’s also the option to have printed cardboard produce trays.
Our printed cardboard trays are high-quality printed with your logo and brand message, allowing you to use your packaging for marketing purposes while enhancing the visual appeal of the produce.
By incorporating graphics, designs, logos or promotional messages into your tray design, you increase the chances of your produce standing out on shelves. These trays are bespoke and ideal for increasing brand recognition.
