Custom Food Trays in Birmingham
Birmingham’s exhibition and conference trade generates a distinct kind of packaging enquiry: very large quantities consumed in short concentrated windows, by temporary crews, in venues with limited on-site storage.
Alongside that, the city has a substantial takeaway and restaurant sector where compartment formats and delivery performance matter most.

Packaging for exhibition catering
-
Order against the peak
Exhibition consumption is concentrated into short windows. Averages understate what you need at the busiest hour.
-
Simplify the range
Every additional format is another thing to store on site, run out of, and train a temporary crew on.
-
Choose reliable assembly
A tray that needs a knack will be assembled wrong by a proportion of any temporary workforce.
-
Plan the delivery window
Exhibition venues have strict access rules. Tell us the constraints and we will pack and ship to suit.
Takeaway and delivery formats
- Compartment trays that keep a wet curry away from rice and a dry side.
- Full-height dividers, because partial dividers let sauce migrate over the top.
- Sealed lids where liquid is involved; a fitted lid alone will not hold sauce in a tipped bag.
- Containers sized close to the portion, so nothing slides on the journey.
- Grease-resistant faces on anything fried or oil-based.

How do I plan packaging for a large exhibition?
Order against the peak hour rather than the average, simplify to as few formats as possible, choose something a temporary crew can assemble reliably, and confirm the venue delivery window early.
How do I stop curry sauce migrating between compartments?
Full-height dividers rather than partial ones, and compartments sized to the portion volume with headroom. Partial dividers let sauce move over the top on the first corner.
Will a fitted lid stop leaks?
No. A fitted lid contains and protects but does not seal. If liquid must be contained in a tipped bag, that means film sealing with a compatible rim, designed in from the start.
Can I take delivery in stages for several events?
It is worth asking for. Producing the full run and taking delivery in instalments gives you volume pricing without needing storage for everything at once.
What board suits hot, oily takeaway food?
A grease-resistant food-contact face, and depth sized for the portion loosely filled. Untreated board darkens within minutes under oil-based sauces.
