Produce trays and punnets

Produce trays and punnets.

Choose an open tray, a separate lid or a sealing-film format around your produce and packing process.

01

Project inputs

Choose how the pack closes.

Open trays, separate lids and sealing film need different rim and packing arrangements.
02

Starting routes

Three ways to finish the tray.

Compare the upper edge with the closure you plan to use.
Open trayAccess stays open above the produce.What to check
  • Check support at the base and sides.
  • Review exposure, handling and any sleeve or outer pack.
Separate lidA separate part closes over the rim.What to check
  • Identify both tray and lid references.
  • Check seating, closure, headspace and opening with the filled sample.
Top-seal rimFilm meets the upper edge of the tray.What to check
  • Identify the film and the sealing equipment or method.
  • Review the rim, contact area and actual process before agreeing a sample check.

Structural sketches only. A similar-looking rim does not establish lid fit or sealing suitability.

03

Overview

Support the produce inside.

Check cavity depth, product contact, ventilation and pack count using your actual product.
Choose an observation point
Cross-section sketch. The highlighted area shows where to look on your filled sample.

Where does the produce rest?

Fill the tray with the usual size range. Look under and around the produce for the points carrying its weight.

What to note

Note where the produce touches the base, rocks or moves when handled normally.

04

Comparison

Match the tray to the closure.

Identify the lid or film and the equipment or packing method before judging the fit.
Choose the intended closure
  1. Tray reference and rim
  2. Sleeve or outer pack, if used
  3. Filling and handling

Follow the exposed pack through handling.

  • Keep the tray reference with the intended count or weight.
  • Name any sleeve, insert or outer pack and check access for filling.

Use the exact components and packing conditions for the sample check. Similar-looking rims do not establish compatibility.

05

Overview

Check empty and filled packs separately.

Empty nesting affects storage and feeding. Filled stacking, carton layout and clearance need a separate review.
Empty nestingHow empty trays sit inside one another.What to check
  • Check separation and feeding in the normal packing process.
  • Record whether trays catch or require extra handling.
Filled stacking and cartonHow closed, loaded packs support one another.What to check
  • Use the actual produce, lid or film and intended orientation.
  • Check contact, clearance and movement in the intended carton.
Prepare the carton arrangement
06

Comparison

Make the change specific.

Discuss which dimensions, cavity features, rim details or presentation elements need to change.
What would you like to change?

More room for the produce.

Example change: more depth while keeping the opening size fixed.

Bring to the discussion

Mark the dimensions that can change and those that must stay. Include the intended produce and pack count.

Next step

Review the cavity, closure clearance and outer carton in a structural development discussion.

07

Next step

Review a complete sample pack.

Try filling, closing and handling with the real produce, closure and outer carton.
  1. Gather the pack.

    Keep the tray, produce, closure and carton together with their references.

  2. Try the real sequence.

    Fill, close and handle the sample as you intend to pack it.

  3. Agree the next change.

    Share what you observed and identify what to recheck in the next sample.
