Kraft Sushi Trays with Lids

  • Clear lid
  • Soy and ginger space
  • Chiller ready

This is the retail sushi pack: a kraft base sized to a specific piece count, with a clear lid so the customer can see exactly what they are buying. It is the format that turns sushi from a restaurant item into a grab-and-go product, and the whole category depends on the lid.

The base has to survive a full day in a chilled cabinet with wet rice against it, which is the part most people underestimate.

  • Internal length matched to your roll count, not a nominal size
  • Clear lid that shows the whole arrangement
  • Compartments or space for soy, ginger and wasabi
  • Moisture-resistant face for a full day in a chiller

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.

02 — Build the spec

Design this tray in five steps

The same five questions we would ask on a phone call, with the kraft sushi tray with lid already selected. You get a properly detailed brief at the end, which is what makes a first quote accurate rather than approximate.

Step 1 The tray and the food

Pick the closest style. If nothing matches, choose “Something else” and describe it at step 5.

Step 2 Size and material

Internal measurements at the base if you have them. Approximate is fine — a physical sample is better still.

Step 3 Structure, lid and print

Compartments keep a wet element off a dry one. Fewer print colours than you think: one well-drawn ink on kraft usually beats a mediocre four-colour design.

Step 4 Quantity and artwork

Give your realistic annual usage if you can — the unit cost curve tells you more than a single quantity does.

PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG or ZIP. Up to 12 MB. A rough sketch is genuinely useful; we supply a dieline before your designer starts.

Step 5 Your details, then send

03 — In detail

Three things a retail sushi pack must get right

The lid must show everything

Retail sushi is bought almost entirely on appearance. A lid that is too tall, too small or misted hides the product and the pack does not sell. The lid is not a closure on this format — it is the shop window.

The base must survive a chiller day

Rice is wet and sits against the base for the whole shelf life, in a cabinet where the air is cold and damp. Untreated board softens at the corners within a working day. A moisture-resistant face is baseline, not an option.

Accompaniments need a home

Soy, ginger and wasabi have to go somewhere that is not on top of the sushi. Either formed compartments or a defined space for a sachet and a pot. Deciding this after the die is cut is not possible.

Sizing by pack

Piece counts vary by market and by operator. These are common retail formats rather than fixed standards.

PackTypical contentsLayout note
Small snack pack6–8 pieces of a single roll typeSingle row; compact footprint
Standard retail pack10–12 pieces, one or two roll typesTwo rows; needs a soy compartment
Large or sharing pack16–24 pieces, mixedMultiple rows; benefits from dividers
Nigiri and sashimi packIndividual pieces laid flatWider, shallower; needs more base area per piece

Listing sushi in a retail chiller? Pre-packed chilled fish is one of the more heavily regulated food categories, and the allergen, storage and date-marking requirements differ between the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Design a dedicated flat panel for the label before the artwork stage — retro-fitting one into a finished layout never works well.

05 — Questions

Kraft Sushi Tray with Lid questions

What size sushi tray do I need?

Sized by piece count and cut size rather than a nominal figure. Photograph a packed tray next to a ruler and send it — we size from your actual product, since roll diameters and cut lengths vary between kitchens.

Will the base hold up all day in a chiller?

With a moisture-resistant food-contact face, yes. Without one, it will not — wet rice against untreated board softens the corners within a working day, and it shows in a display cabinet.

Why does the lid mist up?

Usually because product was packed before it had fully cooled, which traps warm moist air inside. Pack fully chilled. Where misting persists on a retail line, anti-fog lid material is available at extra cost.

Where do soy and ginger go?

In formed compartments or a defined space for a sachet and a pot. Decide before the die is cut — there is no way to add a compartment afterwards, and putting a soy sachet on top of the sushi looks careless.

Can the lid be sealed?

A fitted lid sits on rather than sealing. If you need a genuine seal for shelf life, that is film sealing and requires a compatible rim profile designed in from the start. Tell us your sealing equipment.

Is this suitable for raw fish?

Where specified for that application, yes, and we confirm the food-contact specification in writing. Raw chilled fish is a demanding application and we would not give a general assurance without stating the specification.

Do these trays stack in a chiller?

With a fitted lid, yes, though stacked sushi packs press on the arrangement below unless the lid is designed to carry the load. Tell us your display stack height.

Can I print on the tray?

The kraft base prints well on the rim and the sides. Most retail sushi branding is carried on an applied label, because the label also has to hold the barcode and legal information and it is easier to change.

Do you supply matching sharing platters?

Yes — see the corrugated sushi platter for the flat sharing format used in catering and larger retail packs.
