Quick Serve Solution

Side dishes are the unsung heroes of quick-service menus. They're added to almost every combo, ordered as snacks throughout the day, and they're often the first thing customers see when they open their bag. The right side dish packaging can improve speed, reduce waste, and even make the food taste better.

The Boat Pattern Kraft Tray for Quick Serve Restaurant Sides is designed to make side service faster and more efficient. The classic boat shape is instantly familiar and fits perfectly in standard combo meal bags and trays. The open-top design allows kitchen staff to scoop sides directly into the tray in one quick motion, shaving valuable seconds off each order during peak lunch and dinner rushes. The natural kraft pattern gives these trays a warm, approachable look that feels more premium than plain white paper packaging, helping elevate the perceived quality of your side dishes and overall meal experience without increasing costs.

Material Composition

Every tray is constructed from carefully selected materials chosen for their performance, safety, and sustainability profile in QSR environments.

1. Food-Safe PE Lining

The interior of each tray is coated with food-grade polyethylene using advanced lamination technology:

● Grease Resistance: The PE coating creates an effective barrier that prevents oil from fried sides like french fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets from soaking through the paper, keeping the tray exterior clean and dry.

● Heat Tolerance: The lining handles the temperature of freshly cooked hot foods safely, with no risk of melting, warping, or substance migration into food.

● Sauce Compatibility: Works great with sides served with dipping sauces, preventing sauce from seeping through and making a mess in customers' bags or on their trays.

2. Premium Kraft Paper Stock

The outer layer uses high-quality natural kraft paper selected for both strength and appearance:

● Structural Integrity: Thick, rigid paper ensures the tray maintains its shape even when filled with hot, heavy sides, preventing bending or collapse during service and transport.

● Consistent Quality: Uniform paper weight and texture across every production run means your staff can rely on consistent performance tray after tray.

● Natural Aesthetic: The warm brown kraft pattern conveys quality and authenticity, making simple side dishes feel more substantial and thoughtfully prepared.

Specification Details

Three standard sizes cover the full range of quick-service side dish portions, from kids' meal sides to large sharing portions:

Value size works for kids' meals and value menu sides. Regular size is the standard for most combo meal side orders. Large size is perfect for family orders, sharing sides, and loaded fry options.
