Georgia enquiries divide cleanly into two groups, and they have almost nothing in common. One is food service — a fried-food-heavy restaurant sector where grease resistance is the dominant specification. The other is protein processing, where absorbent fibre trays for poultry and meat are the requirement.
They are different products with different failure modes, and this page covers both because customers in the state regularly need one or the other.
Tell us the tray, the quantity and where it is going. Freight is quoted to your address rather than added later.
Fried chicken, fried sides and hot counter food put more oil into a board tray, faster, than almost anything else. A grease-resistant food-contact face is the baseline rather than an upgrade, and where trays leave the premises closed, venting is what keeps the coating crisp.
The two together — treated board and a vented container — are inexpensive and they eliminate the two most common complaints in fried food service.
Absorbent moulded fibre trays with a ribbed base, sized to the cut and to the retail case, with a rim profile matched to existing film sealing equipment. The design brief here is entirely about where released liquid goes.
The equipment constraint is usually the binding one: a rim profile that does not match your sealer turns a packaging change into a capital project. Send the machine details early.
The metropolitan market generates a steady flow of corporate catering and event enquiries, and the formats are the same as anywhere: lidded trays sized to covers per tray, sandwich platters sized to your cut, and header-board catering trays for buffet service.
The one thing worth emphasising for a competitive catering market is branding. A tray opened in front of a dozen people is the cheapest advertising a caterer can buy, and one colour on kraft across every tray beats four colours on a flagship item.
Chosen against the requirements described above, not as a general catalogue listing.

Yes — absorbent moulded fibre trays with a ribbed base, sized to your cuts and your retail case. The rim profile has to match your sealing equipment, so send the machine details early.
They let steam escape. Steam is what softens a coating, and a sealed container traps all of it. Vents cost almost nothing in the cutting die and change what the customer actually eats.
Yes. The formats are standard — lidded trays sized to covers, sandwich platters sized to your cut — but branding matters more in a competitive market. One colour on every tray beats four colours on one.
It will if we design the rim profile to match your tooling. That is designed in rather than adapted afterwards, which is why we ask for machine details at quote stage.
Very little relative to what it prevents. It is applied to the food-contact face only and it eliminates the most visible packaging failure in fried food service.
