Measuring 175mm (L) × 130mm (W) × 32mm (H) and sized at 7\" × 5\", the shallow tray format maximises food visibility while providing a self-supporting structure that can be held in one hand during service and eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis format is commonly selected for fish and chip shops, takeaway counters, and food trucks where hot chips, fried food, and similar portions are served directly to customers without the need for a closed container.

It contains no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, and is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements.
