Description
Overview

Disposable Snack Trays

Shallow, open and fast — the tray for food eaten standing up.

Concession and event service where a plate is impractical and a box is overkill. Grease tolerance and rigidity under a full load are the specification.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Multi-Well Combo Layouts
Built around what you actually sell together.
One-Handed Stability
Wide, shallow and balanced for carrying at one point.
Recessed Dip Wells
Positioned and balanced so they do not tip or catch.
Drink Cutouts
Complete one-handed carry, saving the customer a second trip.
Compact Nesting
Stacks tightly in limited concession storage.
Self-Erecting Blanks
Keeps up with an interval rush.
PFAS-Free Grease Barrier
Specified for fried snack combinations.
Short Promotional Runs
Event and film tie-in artwork without retooling.
Deep Narrow Profiles
They are unstable when carried one-handed, which is how these are always used. Wide and shallow is the correct geometry.
Single-Portion Use
If you are selling one item, a boat or a cup is cheaper and works better. A tray only earns its cost on combinations.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Disposable Snack Trays is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Disposable Snack Trays is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Disposable Snack Trays.

It is worth considering wherever the alternative is a customer making two trips or asking a friend to carry the drink.

In favour: a drink cutout turns the tray into a complete one-handed carry. In cinemas, stadiums and concourses that is a genuine service improvement, and it can increase attachment rate on drinks because carrying one is no longer a problem.

Against: a filled drink is heavy, and its weight sits at one point. The tray needs a heavier caliper board and careful balance, which costs more. The tray is also larger, so it nests less compactly.

A practical middle path is to carry both: standard combo trays for most service, and drink-cutout trays available for larger orders. Tell us your typical order and we will suggest which way round makes sense.
