Plastic trays in daily life
Plastic trays have a wide range of uses in our daily lives, from storage and organization to food and beverage and medical industries; they can be seen everywhere.
Serving food and beverages: For everyday meals, whether it's breakfast toast, afternoon tea pastries, or family dinners, these trays are not only stable but also instantly elevate the ritual of dining.
Outdoor activities and gatherings: They are also indispensable for picnics and parties, lightweight, drop-resistant, and perfect for outdoor use.
Packaging trays: protecting the product inside the box
These "plastic trays" may not be immediately noticeable, but they are ubiquitous, silently protecting various goods. They are usually custom-made blister trays tailored to the product's shape, primarily used to secure and protect the contents.
1) Electronic products: The transparent plastic shell securing mobile phones, headphones, and portable music players after unpacking is a typical example of a packaging tray.
2) Food: The individual plastic dividers inside cookies, mooncakes, and chocolates fall into this category.
3) Daily necessities and cosmetics: Many cosmetics, children's toys, and stationery packaging boxes contain plastic trays to secure the products.
4) Medical and pharmaceutical industries: In the pharmaceutical industry, these plastic trays are also widely used for packaging medicines and medical devices.
What every tray has in common
While plastic trays come in various shapes and sizes, their core functions are to support, protect, and organize goods. Simply put, household trays add convenience and aesthetics to our lives, packaging trays silently safeguard the safety of goods, and industrial trays support the operation of modern logistics.
Custom trays sized to your product
A packaging tray is designed around the outline of the product it holds: the cavity follows the item's shape, and the tray sits inside the box so the product cannot shift in transit. We make cosmetic plastic trays for compacts and skincare sets, medicine bottle trays for vial and bottle counts, and plastic pallets where a flatter base is needed. A sample is produced and checked before any mass run starts.
MOQ and lead time
Plastic trays start from 100 pieces. Sampling takes 1-3 working days and bulk production 7-15 working days after artwork approval. Design support is free, with 1-3 options in 2-3 working days, and quotes are returned within 24 hours. Full terms are on our FAQ page.
FAQ
Can the tray cavity be changed without changing the box?
Yes. The tray is a separate component, so the cavity can be re-shaped to a new product while the outer box stays the same, as long as the outer dimensions still fit.
Do you make trays for products other than cosmetics?
Yes. The same approach is used for medicines, small electronics, toys, confectionery and gift sets.
