?
A kraft tray with a waterproof and oil-proof coating is preferred to prevent damage or contamination caused by soup penetration.
?
2. Physical properties and Structural Design
Weight and strength: conventional use of 350 grams of high weight cardboard, to ensure the load-bearing capacity and pressure resistance, suitable for holding heavier or with juice food.
?
Moisture and seepage treatment: for cold drinks, fruit, salad and other easy to water food, tray should have good moisture and water absorption, maintain food freshness.
?
3. The size matches the applicable scenario
The appropriate size should be selected according to the type of food:
