Not every tray is made for fresh products and Fresh produce

It is crucial that Fresh produce trays are adapted to the needs of fresh food. This means: they are moisture-resistant, remain rigid in refrigerated environments, and are hygienically safe for direct contact with fresh food. Additionally, they must look good and be sturdy enough to withstand transport.

That requires the right material, the right coating, and the right construction.

J&S Packaging supplies standard Fresh produce trays in corrugated cardboard with a moisture-resistant coating — suitable for direct contact with fresh products, resistant to refrigerated environments, and stackable for efficient transport.

A topseal tray is a cardboard tray with a sealing ring onto which heat-seal film can be applied. Compared to a full plastic tray, this can reduce plastic use per package by up to 97%. Ideal for producers and retailers who want to reduce their plastic footprint without compromising on hygiene or presentation.
A banderole tray consists of a cardboard tray around which a printed paper or cardboard banderole is wrapped. This system is flexible: one type of unprinted tray can be combined with different banderole designs for different customers or brands. Practical and cost-efficient for multiple product lines. The cardboard tray can also be supplied printed at an additional cost.
