The magic trick with folding carton trays

The magic trick with folding carton trays

Imagine any packaging tray for any product, any application. Custom, standard. Including, non-food, sure. Go ahead. Now replace your current material (plastic, right?) with folding carton. There, done.

Eco-friendly, no compromises made. Efficient and effective from design right up to your production line, last mile delivery, straight into the hands of your customer: folding carton trays tick all your boxes.

Perfectly stackable, sturdy and food safe, its eye-catching high quality printing possibilities make your products stand out on the shelf. Your customers will love it, how eco-friendly and practical it is. And so will your stakeholders.

Disposable trays recycled

Yes, at Van Genechten Packaging, we’re in it for the planet. Folding carton is new sustainable standard; its source is 100% renewable, and it’s 100% recyclable. Consumer minds have made the switch, and EU regulations on single use plastics are becoming stricter.

So you can safely replace your disposable plastic trays and blister packaging with folding carton ones and have them recycled, and not thrown away and burnt. Huge contribution.

Think supply chain and filling lines

But the magic is that while you’re making your packaging truly sustainable with folding carton, it can fit your production line perfectly and will keep your logistics highly efficient. If you focus on the production and supply chain side, right at the point of design and development, that is. 

So, make sure your folding carton tray packaging is as lean as possible. It has to support your current in-house production processes. Your packaging team has to include players with machinery, filing lines and logistics expertise.

Enhanced brand experience with surprising functionalities

Enhance your brand experience with added convenience for your customers. Typical for food on-the-go trays: you’ve just heated your meal in the microwave - now what? How about a handy add-on in your packaging you can use to place your tray on? Better even: it was a part of your packaging all along, and part of your whole supply chain right from the start. What makes a real difference: making the most out of your packaging, by thinking beyond mere container functions.
