Takeaway Food Trays for Chips and Sides
Takeaway food trays for UK chip shops, cafes, restaurants and street-food stalls. Open kraft trays are quoted to your food and your size. Prices, capacities and minimum orders are not listed on this page.
Open trays for chips, sides and street food
A food tray is an open board tray for food that is eaten straight away. It is not a lidded tub. Use food grade containers when the food must be closed. Use burger boxes or pizza boxes when the item needs its own carton. Printed kraft boxes cover a wider kraft carton range if you also need closed cartons. For a tray where the print is the main brief, see printed food trays.
Which foods suit a tray
Chips, wedges, loaded fries, small street-food portions and some bakery sides are the usual brief. Sauces that must not spill in a bag are a poor match for an open tray. Say what you serve so the quote can refuse a tray when a closed pack is the better fit.
Shape
The photograph shows open trays holding chips, onion rings and a loaded portion. That is presentation, not a size chart, and it is a different brief from printed food trays. Tell us which shape you want and the length, width and depth. We do not publish a scoop size or a portion weight.

Frequently asked questions
Are these trays suitable for chips?
Chips are a common use. Tell us the portion and whether you add wet toppings. Wet toppings may need a different pack.
Can you print a shop name on the tray?
Yes, if you choose print on the quote form. Plain trays are also available.
What quantities can I order?
Ask for the quantity you need. A minimum is not published here.
Do you claim the tray is greaseproof or food-certified?
No. Those are separate requirements. State them on the enquiry if your food needs them.
