Custom Food Trays in London
London kitchens are small, rents are high and a large share of orders leave the building. That combination makes storage efficiency and delivery performance the two things worth optimising, ahead of almost anything else.
The city also has an enormous corporate catering and food-to-go market, which brings its own requirements — chilled retail packs, individually portioned meals and labelling designed in from the start.

Four priorities for a London operator
Flat-pack everything
Assembled containers are mostly air, and central London storage is the most expensive space in the business. Batch-assemble during quiet periods.
Consolidate formats
One container covering four menu items halves the storage requirement and lowers the unit price by concentrating volume.
Design around the courier bag
Measure the bags your riders actually use and size containers so a whole number fits the base with no wasted strip.
Vent anything crisp
A sealed container around fried food guarantees a soft result. Vents cost almost nothing in the cutting die.
Food-to-go and chilled retail
London’s lunchtime trade runs heavily through chilled fixtures, and a pack destined for one has a specific set of requirements: a footprint that fits the buyer’s fixture, a flat panel for the barcode and legal information, a closure that supports the stated shelf life, and a moisture-resistant construction that survives a working day in a cold cabinet.
Fixture fit is usually the first hurdle rather than the last. A pack that does not fit the shelf gets refused before anyone considers the food, so confirm the fixture dimensions before the artwork stage.

How do I reduce the packaging I have to store?
Flat-pack everything and consolidate formats. One container covering several menu items halves the storage requirement and concentrates volume, which lowers the unit price as well.
What is the most important delivery specification?
Venting on anything closed containing something crisp. Steam is what ruins delivered food, and a sealed container guarantees it.
Can you size containers to my delivery bags?
Yes. Measure the internal dimensions of the bags your riders use and tell us how many containers per bag. It is free at design stage and impossible to fix afterwards.
What do I need for a chilled retail listing?
A footprint that fits the buyer’s fixture, a flat panel for the barcode and legal information, a closure matched to your shelf life, and a moisture-resistant construction.
Can you deliver into central London?
Yes. Tell us the access situation at quote stage — pallet or parcel, delivery window, loading access — because it changes how we pack and ship.
