Kraft Food Trays for Takeaway and Street Food
Street-food vendors need kraft food trays that hold fried chips, chicken bites and loaded fries without the base weakening from grease. Raised side walls help contain loose toppings during counter service, while an open top gives customers quick access to their food. The right tray depends on portion weight, oil content, food temperature and serving conditions. Uncoated kraft board can absorb grease from fried foods. A suitable grease-resistant lining helps reduce oil penetration and keeps the underside cleaner. Our custom kraft food trays are available from a minimum order quantity of 50 units. We match the dimensions and structure to your menu rather than relying on a generic tray size. Explore our wider range of food packaging boxes for other takeaway menu items.

Food-Grade Board and Grease Barriers
Kraft board provides a natural brown surface for takeaway packaging. Food-grade paperboard must suit the intended food contact, temperature and contact time. Uncoated kraft board may suit dry snacks. Fried foods generally need a suitable grease-resistant liner or coating. PE coating can resist moisture and oil, but may affect recycling options. E-flute corrugated board may provide additional rigidity where the design requires it. SBS board offers a smoother, white printing surface.
Printing and Tray Structures
CMYK printing supports full-colour artwork, while Pantone references specify brand colours. Food-safe inks must suit the intended packaging application. Matte lamination can alter the surface finish, but the selected finish must be compatible with food-contact requirements and disposal claims. Rectangular trays suit chips and longer portions. Square trays suit compact snack servings. Deeper trays help contain larger portions, while dividers separate foods where the design requires them. Folded corners and locking tabs help maintain the tray shape.
Kraft Food Trays for Different Businesses
- Food trucks: Rectangular trays for chips and fried snacks.
- Market stalls: Grease-resistant trays for oily takeaway portions.
- Takeaway counters: Medium trays for regular side servings.
- Outdoor events: Larger trays for loaded fries and snack portions.
- Cafés: Shallow trays for suitable dry pastries and snacks.
- Event caterers: Custom-sized trays matched to individual serving portions.
Businesses serving sandwiches can also consider sandwich boxes for foods requiring a more enclosed structure.
Recyclable Kraft Food Tray Options
Uncoated kraft board may be recyclable where local facilities accept it and food contamination permits. PE-coated paperboard can complicate recycling, depending on the material construction and available processing facilities. Compostable claims also require evidence for the complete packaging construction. Eco-focused trays still need suitable grease resistance when used for chips or fried chicken. Confirm the coating, disposal route and food-contact suitability before selecting a material.
