Why double walls make a stronger tray

A double wall tray is an open tray whose side walls fold back on themselves before locking into the base. That fold creates walls two layers thick, which makes the tray stiffer, keeps the rim smooth to hold and helps it keep its shape when loaded. The extra strength comes from the structure rather than heavier board, so the tray stays light while carrying more. It suits food service, bakery displays and retail merchandising.

SBS paperboard gives a bright surface for full-color printing and suits light food items. Kraft board offers a natural look for cafes and farm shops. E-flute corrugated makes a very sturdy tray for produce, multi-item orders or heavy products. For greasy or moist foods, ask about grease-resistant coatings or liners and food-safe options; rules vary, so check the current requirements for your product.

The folded rim gives a clean edge for a logo band or pattern, and the inside base can carry a message seen as the food is eaten. On kraft, keep print to one or two bold colors. Matching lids or sleeves turn the tray into carry-out packaging. Our team sets your artwork on the dieline, and you approve a digital proof before production.

FAQ

Custom Double Wall Trays: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What is a double wall tray?

A double wall tray is an open tray whose side walls are folded over to create two layers. This makes the walls stiffer and the rim smoother, so the tray holds its shape better when loaded than a single-wall tray.

Are double wall trays stronger than single wall trays?

Yes, the folded walls add stiffness and help the tray resist bending at the sides. For very heavy loads, combining double walls with E-flute corrugated gives even more strength while keeping the tray light. Share the load weight for a recommendation.

Can double wall trays be used for greasy food?

Yes, with the right coating or liner. Ask about grease-resistant coatings and food-safe options for direct contact. Food packaging requirements vary by product and region, so check the current rules for your use. Tell us the food type so options can be suggested.

Do double wall trays come with lids?

They can. A matching lid, a window lid or a sleeve turns the tray into carry-out or retail packaging. Tell us how the tray will be used and we will suggest the right combination for your order.

How do I get pricing for custom double wall trays?
