JIANGYIN RUIHESHENG PAPER PRODUCTS CO., LTD. manufactures food-grade paper trays at our Wuxi, Jiangsu production base, where more than 100 automated machines run paper cutting, flexographic and UV printing, die-cutting, forming, gluing and hot stamping lines. Our tray range covers roll-edged, flange-edged, lidded and boat-shape constructions in food-contact paperboard, supplied flat-packed for takeaway, in-store serving, bakery display and catering programmes.
We have produced paper-based food packaging since 2004 across a 15,000 m² facility, with annual output measured in billions of pieces and exports to markets including the USA, France, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. Tray projects run as OEM/ODM work: we settle the format, board grade, barrier, print and packing specification with you, then build tooling and move into production.
Tray Formats in Our PAPER FOOD TRAY Range
Our tray programme is built around four constructions, each with its own edge geometry, load behaviour and closure logic. The table below maps each format to the food it carries and the specification points we confirm before tooling.
| Tray format | Edge construction | Capacity / size reference | Typical food applications | Configuration notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roll edged paper food tray | Rolled rim, formed and glued | JBTP series from 175 ml to 925 ml | Fries, wings, donuts, pastries, street food | Grease-resistant board, stackable, flat-packed |
| Flange edged paper food tray | Flat outward flange | Shallow and deep variants built to drawing | Baked goods, salads, burgers, deli, produce punnets, sauce and dip | Rigid flange for grip; oil, moisture and sauce resistance |
| Paper food tray with lid | Tray plus matching paper lid | BH01 / BH02 / BH03 lid-and-tray combinations | Baked goods, deli items, gift and retail packs | Lid shields contents from dust, spills and moisture |
| Boat shape paper food tray | Elongated boat profile | Portion-sized lengths | Fries, hot dogs, snacks, handheld service | Narrow footprint for counters and display trays |
Trays sit inside a wider food-service packaging range we produce on the same lines, including clamshell boxes, heavy-duty boxes, paper bowls and cups, dining accessories and special-shape boxes. When a project needs a tray plus a bowl, lid or bag, we coordinate the formats so board grade, print and packing stay consistent across the order.
Application Fit Across Food Service Channels
Tray selection follows the serving method more than the food category. We match the format to how the tray is filled, held, carried and displayed.
- Quick-serve and street food: roll-edged trays in the 240–580 ml band handle fried and dry snacks where the rolled rim keeps the tray rigid in the hand.
- Bakeries and deli counters: flange-edged and lidded trays give a flat, presentable surface and a lid that protects glazed or dusted products during transport.
- Supermarkets and convenience stores: shallow flange trays work as produce punnets and sauce or dip holders, with print that carries the brand at shelf level.
- Catering and events: larger roll-edged formats up to 925 ml and boat-shape trays support high-volume portioning with fast, stackable handling.
- Delivery and cloud kitchens: lidded trays reduce spill risk in transit and keep the pack closed until the customer opens it.
Material and Food-Contact Options
Trays are formed from food-grade paperboard, and the material programme behind them is built for recyclability and low-carbon disposal. We source FSC certified paper and can work with post-consumer recycled pulp where the application allows.
- Plastic-free construction without PE or PLA coating, using algae barrier technology for grease and moisture control.
- Plant-based and water-based inks, with biodegradable labels and adhesives available for the pack.
- Industrial composting certification options for brands working to compostable packaging targets.
- Board grammage and barrier level selected against the food's oil, moisture and sauce load rather than a single fixed grade.
Specifications We Fix Before Tooling
A tray drawing is only useful once the dimensional and barrier points are locked. These are the values we confirm with you and hold through sampling and mass production.
- Top-out dimensions, base footprint and overall depth.
- Nominal capacity in millilitres and the portion weight it must carry.
- Board grade and grammage, plus grease and moisture resistance level.
- Edge style — rolled, flanged or plain — and the rigidity it must deliver.
- Lid fit and closure behaviour where a lid is part of the pack.
- Stacking height and nesting behaviour for counter and shelf storage.
- Print coverage and the surface finish applied over it.
Printing, Branding and Surface Finishing
Printing runs on flexographic and UV presses, with single-sided or double-sided decoration, spot colour or four-colour work, and water-based ink as standard. We provide structural design and rendering support and produce samples for approval before tooling is released.
Surface processes available across the range include hot stamping, partial UV, embossing and laminating. On trays, we keep heavy coverage away from fold and rim areas so the forming step does not crack the print.
Production Flow and Quality Control
Every tray order follows the same ten-stage route through our plant: raw material procurement, incoming material inspection, paper cutting, die-cutting and forming, printing, die cutting and moulding, bonding and assembly, finished-goods inspection, packaging, then warehousing and logistics. Incoming inspection checks pulp, laminating materials and ink against production standards before release to the line.
Finished-goods inspection covers dimensions, structural strength and print quality, and procedural controls keep batches traceable from material intake to shipment. Our quality system is certified to ISO9001 and ISO22000, with FSC, BRC and SGS certification and additional accreditations including SABER, SYDEX, IAF and CNAS.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
As a PAPER FOOD TRAY manufacturer, we prepare a configuration and quotation from the working point of the pack rather than from a catalogue number alone. The following inputs let us size the tray, choose the board and set the tooling correctly.
- Food and serving conditions: product type, serving temperature and expected holding time.
- Capacity target: nominal volume in millilitres and typical portion weight.
- Dimensional envelope: maximum outer size, base footprint and stacking height allowed by your counter, bag or delivery box.
- Barrier requirement: grease, moisture or sauce exposure, and whether a lid is needed.
- Branding: artwork files, colour count, coverage and any finishing process.
- Packing format: flat-packed or pre-assembled, carton count and pallet pattern.
- Commercial scope: order quantity, repeat schedule and destination market.
- Documentation: any conformity or material certificates required for the destination market.
Packing, Delivery and Documentation
Trays ship flat-packed, which reduces storage volume and transport cost compared with pre-formed packs and keeps the board undistorted until filling. We agree carton counts, pallet patterns and labelling with you, then store finished goods in our warehouse and allocate them against orders for dispatch.
Order documentation follows the agreed scope, covering packing lists, inspection records and material or conformity certificates where the destination market requires them. Repeat orders run against the approved sample and the recorded specification, so a reorder matches the original tray in dimension, board and print.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tray capacities does Ruihesheng manufacture?
Our roll-edged JBTP series runs from 175 ml to 925 ml, covering small snack portions through to larger sharing formats. Flange-edged, lidded and boat-shape trays are built to the dimensions and capacity agreed for each project.
Are the trays suitable for hot and cold food?
Yes. Flange-edged trays are designed for both hot and cold meals, and roll-edged trays are used with fried and dry hot foods. We select the board grade and barrier level against the serving temperature and the oil, moisture or sauce the food releases.
Can we order custom sizes, shapes and printed trays?
Custom work is our standard mode of operation. We handle OEM/ODM tray projects from structural design and rendering through sampling to mass production, with flexographic or UV printing in spot colour or four-colour and finishing options such as hot stamping, partial UV, embossing and laminating.
Do the trays ship assembled or flat?
Trays are supplied flat-packed, which saves storage and transport space and protects the board before filling. Lidded trays are packed as tray and lid components so the closure is formed at the point of use.
Which certifications apply to your paper trays?
Our quality and material systems are certified to ISO9001, ISO22000, FSC, BRC and SGS, and we hold additional accreditations including SABER, SYDEX, IAF and CNAS. Industrial composting certification is available for tray constructions using our plastic-free barrier technology.
What information do you need to quote a tray project?
Send the food type and serving temperature, target capacity in millilitres, maximum outer dimensions and stacking height, barrier and lid requirements, artwork with colour count, packing format, order quantity and destination market. With those points we can propose the tray format, board grade and tooling, and return a configuration with pricing.
