Jiangyin Ruihesheng Paper Products Co., Ltd. manufactures lidded paper food trays for bakery, deli, ready-meal, catering and retail packaging programmes. Operating from a 15,000 m² facility in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province since 2004, we run more than 100 automated machines across paper box, tray, bowl, cup and corrugated container lines, with an annual output reaching several billion units. Our lidded tray range covers the BH01, BH02 and BH03 series together with the matching paper and plastic lid formats we produce in-house.
Range focus: die-cut paperboard trays with friction-fit lids, supplied as a matched tray-and-lid set, plain or printed, in food-grade board with optional barrier and compostable coating routes.
Our Lidded Paper Tray Range
The lidded tray sits inside a wider paper tableware programme, so a single project can combine trays, lids, bowls and boxes under one print and board specification. The table below shows how each family in our range is built and where it fits.
| Product family | Construction | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| PAPER FOOD TRAY WITH LID (BH01 / BH02 / BH03) | Die-cut paperboard tray with matching friction-fit lid | Baked goods, deli portions, ready-to-eat meals, gift and retail packs |
| ROLL EDGED PAPER FOOD TRAY | Rolled rim for edge stiffness | Hot snacks, fried items, takeaway sides |
| FLANGE EDGED PAPER FOOD TRAY | Flat flange rim | Trays needing a flat surface for lidding or sealing |
| BOAT SHAPE PAPER FOOD TRAY | Boat profile, open top | Street food, fries, handheld service |
| PAPER LID | Paperboard lid, plain or printed | Plastic-free lidding for trays and bowls |
| PLASTIC LID | Rigid clear lid | Applications where contents must stay visible |
| CLAMSHELL FOOD PAPER BOX | One-piece hinged box | Burgers, sandwiches, multi-item meals |
| HEAVY DUTY FOOD PAPER BOX | Higher grammage board | Greasy, hot or heavier portions |
| PAPER BOWL AND CUP | Round, octagonal and square formats | Soups, noodles, rice and liquid items |
| SPECIAL SHAPE PAPER BOX | Pizza, sandwich, fries and gable formats | Category-specific takeaway formats |
Tray and Lid Construction
A lidded tray is a two-part assembly, and the lid is only as good as the tray rim it sits on. We cut the tray blank and the lid blank from the same board specification so that rim height, corner radius and lid skirt depth are controlled as one set rather than two independent items.
- Board: FSC-certified cardboard and post-consumer recycled pulp grades, selected by fill weight, moisture and required rigidity.
- Barrier routes: uncoated board for dry baked goods, and algae-based barrier coating for greasier or moister contents, without PE or PLA lamination.
- End-of-life options: TÜV industrial composting certification supports compostable programmes, with biodegradable labels and adhesives available.
- Lid engagement: friction fit for counter service, deeper skirt for transit, or a flat flange lid where a wider sealing surface is needed.
- Stacking: nesting depth is set so filled trays stack on the lid shoulder without crushing the base.
Where Lidded Trays Fit
| Application | Tray format | Lid choice | Key requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bakery and patisserie | Shallow lidded tray | Printed paper lid | Grease resistance, stack stability |
| Deli and chilled counter | Medium-depth tray | Paper or clear plastic lid | Moisture control, cold-chain rigidity |
| Ready meals and catering | Deep lidded tray | Paper lid, deeper skirt | Load capacity, lid retention in transit |
| Supermarket self-service | Shallow to medium | Paper lid | Print clarity, nesting for display |
| Gift and retail packaging | Shallow lidded tray | Paper lid | Surface finish, brand reproduction |
Critical Specifications We Confirm Before Production
Every lidded tray project is fixed against a written specification before tooling is released. These are the variables that decide whether the pack performs on the line and in the customer's hands.
- Outside dimensions, base footprint and overall height with the lid seated
- Board grammage and caliper for the base, wall and lid
- Lid fit class: light friction, firm transit fit, or flange-seated
- Corner radius and rim profile, which drive both stiffness and lid grip
- Barrier level against grease, moisture and short-term cold or warm holding
- Nesting pitch and stack height per case
- Print coverage and ink system, including water-based ink options
- Food-contact compliance evidence required for the destination market
Where a customer already runs an existing tray, we work from the physical sample and the filled-pack behaviour rather than from a drawing alone, because lid retention and base sag show up only under load.
Printing, Branding and Surface Finishing
Our print department runs flexographic and UV presses, so a lidded tray programme can carry single-sided or double-sided printing in four-colour or spot colour using water-based inks. Structural design and rendering are part of the OEM/ODM service, and we produce a physical sample before mass production so the customer can check colour, fit and stacking on their own filling line.
- Hot stamping for premium retail and gift trays
- Partial UV for selective gloss on a matt background
- Embossing for texture or a raised logo
- Laminating for added surface protection
The BH01 Strong durability Paper Food Tray With Lid is a typical starting point for programmes that need a robust base with a printed lid, while BH02 and BH03 cover presentation-led and sustainability-led briefs.
Production Control and Quality Assurance
Production follows a ten-stage route: 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. Each stage is procedurally controlled so that quality is traceable from batch to batch.
Finished-goods inspection checks dimensions, strength and print quality against the approved specification. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 22000, and we hold FSC and BRC certification together with SABER, SYDEX, IAF and CNAS accreditations. Certification evidence is issued with the shipment documentation where the destination market requires it.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
A workable quotation for a lidded tray programme depends on more than a size. The matrix below shows what we ask for and how each input changes the configuration.
| Project input | What it determines |
|---|---|
| Food type, temperature and holding time | Board grade, barrier route and coating selection |
| Fill weight and portion shape | Tray depth, base rigidity and wall profile |
| Lid function | Friction fit, transit fit, venting or flange seating |
| Distribution route and case count | Nesting pitch, carton size and pallet pattern |
| Artwork, colours and finish | Print route, plate preparation and surface process |
| Compliance requirements | Which certificates and declarations accompany the order |
| Annual volume and call-off pattern | Tooling plan, production scheduling and stock policy |
| Sample approval stage | Structural sample, printed sample or pre-production run |
Packing, Delivery and Documentation
Approved trays and lids are counted, nested and packed to the agreed case configuration, then stored and allocated by order before logistics are arranged. Trays and lids can ship as matched sets in the same carton or as separate line items where the customer assembles on site.
As a PAPER FOOD TRAY WITH LID manufacturer working from China, we supply customers across the USA, France, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, and we prepare export documentation to match each market. Our wider PAPER FOOD TRAY range covers roll-edged, flange-edged and boat-shape formats for projects that need more than one tray type in the same programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes and depths can you produce for a lidded paper tray?
Tray footprint, depth and lid skirt are built from a die, so dimensions are set by the project rather than by a fixed catalogue. We size the tray around the fill weight, portion shape and required stack height, then confirm the overall height with the lid seated.
Can the tray and lid be printed as a matched set?
Yes. Both blanks are printed in the same run where the artwork allows, which keeps colour consistent between base and lid. Single-sided or double-sided printing is available in four-colour or spot colour with water-based inks.
Which material and barrier options do you offer?
We work with FSC-certified cardboard and post-consumer recycled pulp. For dry baked goods, uncoated board is usually sufficient; for greasier or moister contents we apply an algae-based barrier coating instead of PE or PLA lamination, and TÜV industrial composting certification supports compostable programmes.
How is quality checked before shipment?
Incoming raw materials are inspected on arrival, and finished trays and lids are checked for dimensions, strength and print quality against the approved specification. Production is procedurally controlled across ten stages so results are traceable from batch to batch.
Do you support OEM/ODM development from a drawing or a sample?
We do. Send a drawing, an existing tray, or a filled-pack requirement, and our team handles structural design, rendering and sampling through to mass production. A physical sample is produced for approval before the production run is scheduled.
Which certifications accompany a lidded tray order?
Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 22000, and we hold FSC and BRC certification along with SABER, SYDEX, IAF and CNAS accreditations. We issue the certificates and declarations that the destination market requires with the shipment documentation.
