Custom Food Trays in Atlanta
Atlanta’s packaging enquiries have two consistent drivers: a fried-food-heavy restaurant sector, and a large production and location catering market feeding crews on set.
They sound unrelated, but both come back to the same specification points — grease resistance, compartments and packaging that has to work away from a proper kitchen.

Production and location catering
Feeding a crew on location is closer to institutional catering than to restaurant service. Meals are built ahead, held, transported and served somewhere with no kitchen. The packaging has to keep elements separate, survive being stacked and moved, and be openable by somebody standing up with no table.
A compartment tray with a lid does all of that. The specifications that matter are full-height dividers so nothing migrates, a lid that carries the stack load rather than the food below, and a footprint sized to whatever transports the meals.
Fried food service
Grease resistance is baseline
Fried chicken puts oil into untreated board within minutes, and the mark is immediately visible to the customer.
Vent anything closed
A sealed container guarantees a soft coating within about ten minutes. Vents cost almost nothing.
Depth for the portion
Bone-in pieces sit higher than people estimate. Load a sample and tilt it before committing to a die.
Board grade for weight
A full fried portion with sides is heavier than it looks. Fluted board rather than folding for anything substantial.
Other Atlanta requirements
- Hotel and conference catering formats, judged on presentation.
- Event and festival packaging for a busy outdoor season.
- Corporate catering platters for a large downtown office market.
- Retail and grocery prepared-food packs with legal panels designed in.

What packaging suits production and location catering?
Compartment trays with lids: full-height dividers so nothing migrates, a lid that carries the stack load, and a footprint sized to whatever transports the meals to the location.
Do I need grease-resistant board for fried chicken?
Yes, without qualification. Untreated board darkens within minutes under fried food, and it is the first thing a customer sees when they pick up the container.
How do I keep fried food crisp on the way to a location?
Vent whatever it is closed in, keep it separate from anything wet, and avoid stacking hot containers directly on each other, which steams the lower one.
How deep should a fried chicken tray be?
Deeper than you expect — bone-in pieces sit high. Load a sample with your actual portion and tilt it to about thirty degrees before committing to a cutting die.
Can you supply crew meals at short notice?
Repeat orders are much faster than first orders because tooling and artwork are already done. For a production schedule, it is worth setting up the format ahead of the season rather than under pressure.
Do you supply Atlanta event caterers?
Yes. For large events the priorities are consolidating formats, specifying stack strength properly, and choosing something a temporary crew assembles reliably.
