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.
