Key Features
Custom Tray Boxes — Open-Top Display and Shipping Trays for Retail and Fulfillment
Tray boxes are open-top or lidded tray constructions used for retail display, gift presentation, product bundling, and as secondary packaging components. Unlike fully enclosed cartons, tray boxes present products from above, making them ideal for display contexts where visual product access from the top is desired. Combined with a separate lid or sleeve, tray boxes create a two-component packaging system with strong presentation value.
We produce tray boxes in corrugated, SBS, and rigid greyboard constructions for applications ranging from retail shelf trays to luxury gift presentation. The open-top format is particularly effective for confectionery, cosmetic gift sets, and subscription box inner packaging.
Tray Box Applications in Retail and Gifting
Retail display trays hold multiple individual products for consumer self-selection — think a chocolate truffle tray, a skincare sample tray, or a hardware display tray. Gift presentation trays hold an assortment of items arranged for gifting — a cheese and charcuterie tray, a spa product tray, a holiday gift assortment. In both applications, the open-top format allows consumers to see all products simultaneously, which increases purchase confidence and perceived value of the assortment.
Corrugated Trays for Shipping and Retail
Corrugated trays are used in retail distribution as shelf-ready packaging — the tray ships filled with product and slides directly onto the retail shelf with the front panel removed. This eliminates individual product stocking and reduces retail labor costs. The tray format also stabilizes product rows on shelf, reducing the shelf maintenance required for loose-standing products.

Tray Boxes in Connecticut — FAQs
What is the difference between a tray box and a standard carton?
A tray box is an open-top or shallow-wall structure that presents products from above. A standard carton is a fully enclosed structure. Tray boxes are used when top-down product visibility is desired — for display, gifting, or subscription box inner packaging.
Can tray boxes be used with a separate lid?
Yes. Two-component packaging systems combining a tray base with a separate sleeve or lid are common for premium gift and retail applications. The tray provides the product housing while the sleeve or lid carries brand graphics and closes the package.
Are corrugated shelf-ready trays available?
Yes. Corrugated shelf-ready trays for retail distribution ship filled with product, then convert to retail display trays at the store by removing a perforated front panel.
Can tray boxes be lined with tissue or fabric?
Yes. Gift presentation trays are frequently lined with tissue paper, fabric, or velvet to create a premium presentation backdrop for the assorted products inside.
What is the minimum order for custom tray boxes?
Custom tray boxes start at 100 units. Rigid gift presentation trays start at 50 units.
Do you ship custom packaging to Connecticut?
Yes. We ship to all Connecticut cities. Ground delivery to Hartford and Stamford is 1-2 business days from production.
