A bakery display tray has to do two jobs that pull in opposite directions.

Custom Food Trays in Miami
Miami has an exceptionally strong café and bakery culture, and a great deal of it involves pastry — which is one of the more demanding products for board packaging, because butter migrates into an untreated surface within about an hour.
The city also has the highest sustained humidity of anywhere we regularly supply, and that affects stored packaging as much as it affects packed product.

Pastry and grease resistance
Laminated and butter-rich pastry will show a translucent stain on an untreated board tray within about an hour, and the mark spreads outward from wherever the product sits. On a white bakery tray in a display case, it is the first thing a customer notices.
A grease-resistant food-contact face prevents it entirely and costs very little. For a bakery selling pastry from a counter, it should be treated as the baseline specification rather than an upgrade to consider.
Working in high humidity
Stock storage
Board takes on moisture from humid air and loses stiffness before it is ever used. Keep it in shipping cartons in the driest conditioned space available.
Order quantity
Match orders to a season rather than a year, so nothing sits through a full summer absorbing moisture.
Chilled display
Condensation forms on everything moving between a cold cabinet and a warm room. Moisture-resistant faces are worth specifying.
Rotation
Use oldest stock first. Cartons at the back of a store room for a year are a different product from the ones that arrived last week.

Why do my bakery trays go greasy so quickly?
Butter migrates into untreated board by capillary action, and laminated pastry shows a stain within about an hour. A grease-resistant food-contact face prevents it and costs very little.
Does humidity really affect packaging in storage?
Yes, noticeably. Board is hygroscopic, and stock held in a humid store room loses stiffness and folds less crisply before it has been anywhere near food. Keep it in cartons in the driest space you have.
How much stock should I hold?
Enough for a season rather than a year. Ordering a full year of stock and holding it through a Miami summer is a false economy, however good the price break was.
What size should a bakery display tray be?
A whole division of your bake sheet, checked against your counter fixture. It turns your morning transfer from a piece-by-piece task into a single movement.
Do pastry boxes need inserts?
For anything decorated or delicate, yes — without one the contents slide together and arrive looking handled. For robust items eaten the same day, a snug box and a greaseproof pad is often enough.
Can you supply hotel and event caterers?
Yes. Presentation expectations are high in this market, so matt finishes, correct lid overlap and depth sized from the tallest garnish all matter more than they do in quick service.
