Food Trays are open paperboard serving trays for diners, delis, and event caterers that plate nachos, sliders, wings, or loaded sides for grab-and-go, and Teal prints them in full color to fit your menu.
The low open walls keep food visible and easy to reach, so guests can dig in without unboxing while staff move orders fast across a busy counter. A printed tray also doubles as a serving surface for sampling tables and tasting events, which makes it a flexible pick for caterers running multiple stations.
