Custom Food Trays in Vancouver

Vancouver produces more sushi and seafood packaging enquiries than any other Canadian city we supply, and both categories share a single dominant requirement: managing moisture.

The climate reinforces it. Ambient damp affects stored board before any food touches it, which means moisture-resistant construction comes up here more often than almost anywhere.

Sushi packaging is a moisture problem

Rice is wet and it sits directly on the base for the whole life of the pack, in a chiller where the air is cold and damp. Untreated board softens at the corners within a working day, and it shows in a display cabinet.

A moisture-resistant food-contact face is the baseline specification rather than an upgrade. The other requirement is flatness: sushi is arranged in straight rows, and any bow in the base makes every row read as crooked in a way other food hides.

Seafood and damp-climate points

Absorbent fibre for raw product

A ribbed base lifts the fillet clear of released liquid and the material absorbs it, so the product looks drier on the counter.

Condensation on lids

Usually caused by packing before the product has fully cooled. Pack chilled; anti-fog film is a last resort rather than a first fix.

Stored stock

Board in an unheated or damp store loses stiffness before it is used. Keep it in cartons in the driest space available.

Outdoor and market trading

A moisture-tolerant board rather than a standard one, because a wet tray fails with a full load.

Supplying Vancouver: common questions

What does a retail sushi pack need?

A moisture-resistant food-contact face, a flat base that will not bow, a clear lid matched to the rim, and a defined space for soy and ginger. All four are decided before tooling.

Why does the lid fog up?

Almost always because product was packed before it fully cooled, trapping warm moist air. Pack fully chilled first; anti-fog lid material is available but it treats a symptom.

Why do seafood counters use fibre trays?

A ribbed fibre base lifts the product clear of released liquid and the material absorbs it, so the customer sees a drier product even though the volume of liquid is unchanged.

Does the damp climate affect stored packaging?

Yes. Board is hygroscopic and stock in a damp or unheated store loses stiffness before it is ever used. Keep it in shipping cartons and rotate it.

Do you supply both restaurant and retail seafood packaging?

Yes. Retail needs absorbent trays with a flat label panel; restaurant service needs grease resistance and venting. Different specifications, and they can sit on one order.
