Corrugated Trays – Versatile, Durable, and Sustainable Packaging for Retail and Display
Corrugated trays are an essential packaging solution designed to offer both strength and convenience. Ideal for retail displays, storage, food transportation, and shipping, these trays are lightweight, cost-effective, and highly customisable. At Print Custom Box UK, we manufacture corrugated trays to exacting standards for businesses across the UK, providing packaging that’s functional, brand-forward, and eco-friendly.
Whether used for shelf-ready packaging or as inserts within shipping boxes, corrugated trays provide excellent product visibility, stability, and protection. Their open-top structure makes them perfect for quick access and efficient organisation across various industries.
What Are Corrugated Trays?
Corrugated trays are flat-bottom, open-top boxes made from corrugated cardboard, often with reinforced walls and die-cut handles for easy handling. Available in multiple flute profiles and board grades, these trays are designed for easy stacking, carrying, or shelving. They are frequently used in food packaging, retail displays, logistics, and agricultural industries.
These trays can be delivered flat and assembled as needed, or pre-formed depending on your operational requirements. Their modular nature and customisability make them a reliable solution for volume packaging with aesthetic and structural flexibility.
