Custom Food Trays in San Antonio
San Antonio’s food service is shaped by two things: a deep Tex-Mex tradition and a large visitor economy concentrated in a walkable tourist district. Both push towards packaging that works for food eaten on the move, in one hand, by somebody who is not sitting down.
That is a specific requirement, and it is quite different from packaging for a seated restaurant meal.

Packaging for food eaten walking
A visitor eating while walking has one hand available, no table, and often a drink in the other hand. The packaging has to be compact enough to hold securely, stable enough not to spill when the person is moving, and shallow enough that they can reach the food without stopping.
That rules out large flat platters and deep containers, and it argues for formats with a defined grip point — a holder, a scoop, a boat — rather than an open rectangle. It also makes a combined food-and-drink carrier genuinely useful rather than a novelty.
Tex-Mex formats
Taco holders
Cut to your shell type, with slot depth supporting the shell below the filling line so the taco does not tip when picked up.
Combination trays
A wider tray holding a holder plus rice, beans or chips. Turns three containers into one and speeds up the counter.
Nacho trays with dip wells
One or two wells for salsa, cheese or guacamole, sized to your pots or filled directly with a treated face.
Grease resistance
Tex-Mex fillings are wet and run down into the base of a slot. Specify a treated face rather than treating it as optional.
Other San Antonio requirements
- Institutional and campus catering trays sized from servery fixtures rather than from the meal.
- Event and festival packaging, with a season-long ordering pattern.
- Hotel and conference catering formats judged on presentation.
- Heat-aware storage advice, because summer conditions work stored board hard.

What packaging suits food eaten while walking?
Compact formats with a defined grip point — a holder, a scoop or a boat rather than an open rectangle. Stable enough not to spill when the person is moving, and shallow enough to reach into one-handed.
How do I stop tacos tipping in a holder?
Slot depth that supports the shell below the filling line. Too shallow and the taco tips forward the moment it is picked up, which is the most common complaint about cheap holders.
Is a combination tray worth it?
Usually. A wider tray holding a taco holder plus rice, beans or chips replaces three containers, speeds up the counter and increases the average order value at the same time.
Do wet fillings damage a holder?
On untreated board, yes — sauce runs down the shell and pools at the base of the slot. A grease-resistant face handles a normal service and costs very little.
Does summer heat affect stored packaging?
It does. Store stock in the coolest conditioned space you have, keep it in cartons, and order in quantities matched to a few months rather than a full year.
Do you supply institutional and campus food service?
Yes. Those trays are designed from the servery fixtures inward — rail spacing, trolley shelf and tray return — rather than from the menu outward.
