Corrugated Sushi Platters
- Flat sharing format
- Moisture-resistant face
- Sized to your rolls
A sushi platter is a flat presentation surface that has to stay flat. Sushi is arranged in precise rows, and any bow in the base makes the arrangement look wrong immediately — far more so than with less geometric food.
It also has to cope with rice, which sits directly on the surface, is wet, and is in contact for the whole life of the pack.
- Rigid, flat base that holds its shape under a full arrangement
- Moisture-resistant food-contact face for direct rice contact
- Sized by roll count and cut size rather than a nominal footprint
- Fluted texture reads well as a presentation surface
Pricing starts from $0.30 per tray
The unit price depends on the size, board, printing, finishing, quantity and delivery country, so every quote is worked out for your specification rather than taken from a list.

03 — In detail
Flatness is the whole specification
Most food hides a slightly bowed tray. Sushi does not, because the pieces are arranged in straight rows and any curvature in the base makes every row read as crooked. A platter that would be perfectly acceptable under a mixed buffet selection looks defective under sushi.
Flatness comes from board caliper relative to the span and from how the platters are stored before use. Specify the caliper against the loaded weight and the platter size, and store the stock flat and dry.
Four things to specify
Moisture resistance
Rice sits directly on the surface, wet, for the whole life of the pack. An untreated face will darken under the rice and soften at the contact points.
Rim or no rim
A low rim keeps pieces from sliding off and gives the platter rigidity. A completely flat board looks more like a serving board and photographs better. Which suits depends on whether the platter travels.
Space for accompaniments
Soy, ginger and wasabi need somewhere to go. Either a formed recess, a space sized to a pot, or a separate container — decide before the die is cut.
Closure
Open with a band for immediate service; a clear lid for retail and transport. A lid needs a compatible rim, so it is designed in rather than added.
Sizing from the sushi
- Count the pieces in your standard platter and lay them out in the arrangement your chefs actually use.
- Measure the rectangle they occupy, then add a clear border at least a finger width wide.
- Allow specific space for a soy pot, ginger and wasabi rather than hoping they fit.
- If the platter is film sealed, the rim has to be clear of the arrangement all the way round.
- For retail, add a flat area for a barcode and legal panel before you finalise the footprint.
Why fluted board suits sushi
The visible flute edge reads as texture rather than as packaging, which is why so many premium sushi platters use corrugated rather than a smooth board. Against the geometric precision of sushi, a natural texture provides contrast in a way a flat printed surface does not.
It is also, practically, the stiffest board per unit weight, which matters on a platter that must not bow. The aesthetic and the engineering point in the same direction here, which is unusual.

Corrugated Sushi Platter questions
Why does flatness matter so much for a sushi platter?
Because sushi is arranged in straight rows, and any bow in the base makes every row look crooked. A platter that would be fine under a mixed buffet selection looks defective under sushi. Specify the caliper against the span and the load.
Will rice mark the board?
Rice is wet and sits directly on the surface for the whole life of the pack, so an untreated board will darken and soften at the contact points. A moisture-resistant food-contact face prevents it.
How do I size the platter?
Lay out your standard selection in the arrangement your chefs use, measure the rectangle it occupies, add a border at least a finger width wide, and allow specific space for soy, ginger and wasabi.
Should the platter have a rim?
A rim keeps pieces from sliding and adds rigidity, which matters if the platter travels. A flat board looks more like a serving board and photographs better for immediate service. Choose based on whether it moves.
Can I get a clear lid?
Yes, and for retail it is essential. The lid and the platter rim have to be dimensionally matched, so order them together the first time rather than sourcing separately.
How do I stop condensation forming under the lid?
Pack fully chilled. Most heavy condensation comes from packing product that has not cooled, which puts warm moist air inside a closed pack. Where it persists on a retail line, anti-fog lid film is available.
Is corrugated suitable for a premium sushi brand?
It is what many premium sushi brands choose. The visible flute reads as texture rather than as packaging, and against the geometric precision of sushi that contrast works well. It is also the stiffest board per unit weight.
Can these platters be printed?
Yes, on E-flute the print quality is good. Most sushi platters keep print to a minimum — a mark on the rim or an applied band — because the food is the arrangement and heavy print competes with it.
Do you make individual sushi trays as well as sharing platters?
Yes — see the kraft sushi tray with lid for the single-serving lidded format used in retail chillers and takeaway.
