Our bakery trays stand out because they’re designed specifically for the complete supply chain journey, from the oven all the way to the retail shelf. Food-grade bakery trays can stack securely when loaded for safe transport and nest when empty to save space on return trips. The ventilated sidewalls promote proper airflow to keep baked goods fresh while the automation-ready design fits perfectly with conveyor systems and automated handling equipment. They are manufactured with high-grade polymers that resist impacts and temperature changes, and they’ll keep performing reliably year after year while reducing your packaging costs.
Absolutely, our trays are designed with automation compatibility in mind, featuring smooth surfaces and contoured corners that work perfectly with most conveyor systems and automated handling equipment. The uniform dimensions and both make them ideal for automated processes. Many of our clients have discovered that switching to our trays actually improved their production flow because the standardized sizing ensures smooth product transfers and reduces product damage across the board. We carry various sizes including popular footprints like 29×26, 27×22, and 24×20 inches, so we can match your existing equipment specifications or help you find trays that will work with your current setup.
Maintaining food safety with our bakery trays is simple because they’re designed for frequent washing in commercial use. The smooth, non-porous surfaces resist bacteria buildup and clean easily with standard food service sanitizers and detergents. Most bakeries run them through their existing washing systems or use pressure washing for quick turnaround between uses. The high-grade polymers we use won’t crack or develop hard-to-clean crevices like some lower quality containers do over time. We recommend checking trays periodically for any damage that could harbor bacteria and replacing those as needed, but properly maintained trays typically provide years of safe, reliable service while meeting all FDA and USDA food contact requirements.
Yes, we can definitely work with you on custom bakery trays; we understand that specialty baked goods often need unique container dimensions. Our partnerships with manufacturers give us flexibility that many packaging companies simply can’t offer, including custom sizes, specialized venting patterns, or modified stacking features. We’ll typically start by reviewing your product specifications, current packaging challenges, and production volumes to design the right solution. The custom process usually takes longer than our standard products, but we’ll walk you through every step and provide samples for testing before you commit to a full order. Many bakeries have found that investing in custom trays actually saves money long-term by reducing product damage and improving handling throughout their operations.
We can typically get trays to you within days rather than weeks because we maintain inventory in warehouses throughout the country, which dramatically cuts shipping times compared to companies that ship everything from a single location. For standard sizes like our popular 29×26 or 27×22 inch trays, we often have stock ready to ship immediately. We understand that bakery operations can’t wait around for packaging supplies, especially if you’re dealing with equipment breakdowns or unexpected demand increases. Rush orders are possible in many cases, and we’ll always give you honest timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly. Our shipping network covers all contiguous states, and we work with reliable carriers to make sure your trays arrive safely and on schedule.
