Food Trays: selection and sample review
Specify exposure before material
Share serving temperature, oil or moisture exposure and whether food directly touches the tray. Board and surface treatment need application review; an open tray should not be assumed to contain liquids.
Check assembly and supported handling
Use a sample to check corner assembly, portion placement and lifting with the expected serving load. Include stacking before use and any liner or outer carrier in the review.

From brief to sample and quotation
Share what you know
Start with the intended use, product dimensions or a reference photo, quantity and destination where known. For undecided material, structure or finish, write Not sure / Need recommendation and describe the result you need.
Agree the sample and review points
A structural sample checks fit and handling; artwork or finish proofs check presentation. Agree the required sample type, material, review criteria, sample fees and timing before arranging that stage.
Confirm the quotation scope
Confirm the selected specification, artwork status, quantity, delivery destination and packing form. MOQ, price and actual lead time remain subject to the quotation; flag any required contact-use documentation or testing for separate review.
