Specifications

Materials

Aluminum Foil

For food packaging applications, aluminum foil has a temper (hardness) designation of H18 or H24. This ensures the foil retains its shape without excessive bending or tearing. It also excels at conducting and retaining heat, making it the preferred choice for packaging hot and warm meals. This ensures your food arrives steaming hot and maintains optimal quality.

Aluminum is a highly recyclable material. Proper sorting and processing facilities allow used aluminum foil trays to be recycled into new products, minimizing environmental impact. Check its advantages:

• Locks in heat for extended periods. Ideal for hot meals like lasagna, roasted chicken, or casseroles.
• Minimizes storage and transportation costs due to its lightweight nature. The stackable design further optimizes back-of-house operations.
• Aluminum foil trays can withstand high temperatures. Suitable for baking or reheating applications directly in the oven.

Paper

Our paper takeout trays are made from food-grade kraft paperboard. This material is known for its strength and durability, ensuring your food arrives safely at its destination. Paperboard is a readily renewable and biodegradable resource, making it an eco-friendly packaging option.

Paper offers good heat insulation properties. It is suitable for both warm dishes and cold applications, such as salads or deli items. Below are the advantages:

• Appeals to nature-conscious customers and suits with sustainable business practices.
• Paperboard is a more affordable option compared to aluminum foil.
• Select paperboard options that may be microwave-safe for reheating convenience.

Colours 

• Black and gold add an elegant touch. They create a dramatic backdrop for your culinary creations, highlighting the vibrant colours and textures of your food. Gold adds a touch of refinement and can elevate the perceived value of your menu items.
• Kraft's natural brown colour evokes a sense of earthiness, authenticity, and freshness. It is well-suited to restaurants promoting organic or locally sourced ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the reheating capabilities of your takeout trays?

Our collection offers options for both microwaving and oven use. Select trays are designed to withstand microwave reheating temperatures. Aluminum foil trays can handle reheating in conventional ovens. Paperboard options are not microwave-safe due to potential charring or fire risk.

Can your trays handle very saucy or greasy foods?

For optimal leak protection with saucy dishes, we recommend aluminum foil trays with secure closures. Some of our paperboard options feature a moisture-resistant coating suitable for moderate amounts of sauce or condensation. However, due to its inherent grease-repellency, aluminum foil remains the most reliable choice for heavily sauced or greasy foods.

Do your takeout trays offer any sustainable options?

Yes, our kraft paperboard trays are a responsible and eco-friendly choice. Paperboard is a readily renewable and biodegradable resource, minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional plastic options.

Are there any limitations for food types with the aluminum foil trays?

Aluminum foil is considered safe for most food types. However, highly acidic foods (like tomatoes or citrus) can react with aluminum over time, causing a slight metallic taste or discoloration. For highly acidic foods, consider using paperboard trays.
